Mr. Robot (TV Series) - a complexity we need in our lives

I'm a fan of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul - and I develops an interest of another thriller drama series on USA network, and it's Mr. Robot.

Now the title itself doesn't really explain what the actual series is all about. Or maybe it is - but maybe I will let the philosophical and meaning to the imagination of the audiences.

To this date it has generate 8 episodes for the season 1 - and it has delivered intrigues, surprises, and sometimes misleads in the story. The story mainly focuses on Elliot Alderson, a security network computer engineer employee on a small-medium sized company, AllSafe, which the company partners with one of the largest company ever - Evil Corp. Although the naming are pretty ease to follow, they impelement more in the concept and the story. For some reason, our main character who is a prodigal genius in computer network and software engineering savvy, find life itself misleading and controlled. An introvert, Elliot tends to summarize the concept of humanity in his head and drew his analytical result for himself. Himself to be a hacker is a mean to supervise his social surroundings, since he has trouble open himself up and keep a small group of people he related to socialize with.

In the course of the movie we will encounters the mind of Elliot until it summing up to the solution of the destruction of Evil Corp. He won't do it alone of course, there will be groups, teams, alliances as well as broken alliances. Driven by revenge, Elliot way of destroying Evil Corp tends to be more rational and more conscious-tolerated. This really brings up the ideology of anonymity and how the works of rebellious (or maybe order) group works.

All that has been said, this series for me has it flaws. I am referring on how slow the progress of each episode are. Perhaps this can't be put into a focus, because I think they have a reason for it - artistically or monetary. Either way, each episode always leave you dangling for another puzzle to be solved. Sometimes it thrive for the content of the puzzle, but another times it felt a little bit pushy. At least until now, I've seen too many twist that I couldn't predict would happen. Mr. Robot may be bringing a complexity in a way that we wish we want to understand, but at the same time we also wonders whether or not all of it becomes tangible. This is series follow up for its questions, predictions, opportunities, as well as the risk.

I have enjoyed the series so far. My background is in IT - but I don't think you have to be one to understood the course of this series. Although brings up the topic of hacker as it main theme, but it was all just some kind of tools to use for their main storyline. The technical stuff will not overcome the thriller drama of which what the series are. Overall - I'm pretty recommending this series to friends. I find it intriguing and addicting to know what the characters are up to.
