Mr. Robot just earned its spot in the top 5 TV shows of all time
- Thread starter Mr. Manhattan
- Start date
Next yearWhen does Fargo return???
I think them people are eh about it cause it airs on the USA Network. While these shows were solid, long gone are the days of Burn Notice, Monk, and Psych. They don't realize Mr. Robot is some next level shyt that sparked an evolution in USA's programming.
First thing that popped into my mind 5 minutes after S1E1 was "Alright.....this isn't any other show. This is special.".

More specifically when Mr. Robot gives that monologue on the ferris wheel @ Coney Island about modern society and why they need to take down E Corp.
I was like, "Wow, this is gonna be some real subversive shyt."
Similar to the Wire what this has going for it major is a critique on modern society specifically income inequality (although they haven't highlighted that as much but is still the overarching theme). And also, top notch writing, cinematography and acting as well. It's a top tier show in the current golden age of TV. No need for a number but it as good as anything anyone can mention.
Even if you could argue that point:
"Fargo" is an anthology series.
"Atlanta" is 2 seasons deep.
"Succession" is 2 seasons deep.
"Twin Peaks" (the return) is only 1 season.
"Mr. Robot" is 4 seasons deep and in it's final season. If they stick the landing that alone puts it among an elite few in TV history.

You playing yourself breh... This shyt gets CRAZY!!! Someone asked me to explain what it's about... I can't even get into the first season spoilers before it's too much info and plots to comprehend.. then the next few seasons take it somewhere completely else
Does everyone remember when this show was just about a lonely hacker trying to end all debt? Now we in a sci fi fantasy about super world leaders and time travel

For me - it has a legit case. I will say that I fux with all the real world fukkery they've done with the ARG as well, so that adds to the appeal for me.
Watching Mr. Robot is like getting the chance to build a Bugatti Veyron by hand. You take your time to look at the whole thing analytically, all pristine and laid out on the floor in front of you
. You appreciate the craftsmanship
, inspect all the moving parts and marvel at the amount of effort that goes into the whole thing.
You take out a toolbox and get to work. Then you finally finish and get to sit in the driver's seat.like 
, satisfied with the job you've done.
Before going to drive it for the first time, you reach into the glovebox to find the Aux cord and a single screw falls out onto the passenger side floor
. Then you realise you've got to take the whole thing apart again to find out where the screw was actually supposed to go.
That's pretty much how I've felt watching every episode of this show.
I love it.

Hold up, this is not the case is it?! A certain character or two believe this but it has not been shown to be actually occurring on the show. If I'm wrong please spoiler tag what I missed.Succession the best show on tv
