Mr Robot S1-4

Winner of the 2016 Golden Globe for Best Drama Series, Mr Robot follows Elliot, a brilliant but highly unstable young cyber-security engineer and hacker who is drawn into a complex game of global dominance by vigilante anarchists working to bring down the financial system.

As Elliott, Rami Malek won an Emmy, while Christian Slater was nominated for two Golden Globes as Mr Robot.

The cult show still holds a 94% overall critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes. In its roundup of “21 TV Shows that explained the 2010s”, Vox called it, “One of the decade’s wildest rides” and “one of the most prescient shows to emerge,” while Variety listed it among the ‘Best 25 TV Shows of the Decade’, calling it “a show that perfectly suited its era.”
