I find it disturbing that Google can't do rot13.
DDG seems to handle it just fine if you add "rot13" to your query, though :) https://duckduckgo.com/?q=rot13+V+yvxr+ubj+gurl+syng+hc+gbyq...

I think though there's a difference between cliche/stereotyped characters and whether or not a character is interesting .
I'm going to play fan boy here. After almost finishing the second season I have to say Mr. Robot is the best TV show I think I have ever watched. Even better than Homeland. The funny thing is if it didn't even involve hacking I would still consider my favorite show. The psychodrama existentialism of the show is so good. The plot is so damn good. The acting is so damn good. Th music, the timing of title screen and the…
Its a decent and sometimes good show but certainly not one of the greats, and has more than a few major flaws. I'll try to minimize spoilers. 1. The plotline is pretty much Fight Club with computers and telegraphs this early on. This is clearly not on purpose as we see hints dropped all the time and the reveal is given with such a flourish. Lets stop defending Esmail here. The reveal is really hamfisted and the show…
I'm not so sure. From my perspective The Wire had a lot of Freshman psychology, philosophy, and civics mixed in with pauses where characters would stare at one another and let silence pass between them.
Mr. Robot is clearly a mature show to a subset of an audience; Rami Malek even won an Emmy, this year. Perhaps you are not hearing the music. In that case, I hope you do. : )
I would be interested to see if the downloads of Kali Linux have shown any significant spike since Season 2.0 was released.
They're at least self-aware, in one scene the fsociety crew is watching "Hackers" and one of them comments "I wonder what will ruin the next generations perception of hacker culture" or something like that. Not my favorite rendition (full disclosure: "Hackers" is my favorite), but they do really drive home the "otherness", which is the core of any "hacker culture" story.
If you like Mr. Robot, you should watch Person of Interest. POI is a pre-snowden series about a world "in which the NSA has a system which spies on every american citizen in order to fight terrorism" (sounds familiar?). The show begins with the weak premise of "help us fight crimes we predict will happen", but don't be fooled by its appearance of a run-of-the-mill CBS show. Without spoiling it too much, I do want to…

Except that the main storyline is likely to be rushed to completion due to the final season being massively cut in length.
The last season has been out for a while. I ended up being very impressed by just how well it's executed. When the cut was announced after season 4 I thought it could only end in disappointment, but after watching season 5, I truly felt like the series ended how it should have ended.
I've watched S01 but I'm not sure I'll watch S02. The cliché about dysfunctional people in IT is too much for me. I'm a normal person and I don't have difficulties in dealing with other human beings. Also the part about vilifying companies and loving big government is not my cup of tea. At least in Person of Interest both were bad. Last part, vilifying money as a medium of exchange is just absurd. Are they expecting…
This is probably the main reason why I love so much this series.
FYI: I think I'm kind of a introvert person. I have small problems with myself. And yes, I am programmer.

Amazing monologues, realism, extreme tension, brilliant writing and acting, Mac Quayle, Sam's directing work, an attractive cast, the unreliable narrator, good story arcs and wonderful narrative styles. This show is pure art.
