Critic Reviews for eps1.0_hellofriend.mov
And so begins a very promising story, one that seems to revolve around Elliot Alderson, a mysterious group of hackers, and their sly leader (Christian Slater), known only as Mr. Robot, thanks to the name patch on his jacket.

If you're a cynic and possible anarchist who rails against everything from big business to social media and wants to see it all torn down, then this is DEFINITELY the show for you.
It's obviously impossible to judge a series based on a single episode, but they've played a strong first hand.
Mr. Robot is easily one of the best new shows this summer, and from the unlikeliest of sources, the USA network.
I really enjoyed the gradual introduction of Christian Slater's titular Mr. Robot.
If you haven't watched it... this is an episode of television that needs to be sought out right now.
