7 Reasons You Should Watch Mr. Robot Right Now

Many TV shows and movies attempt to say something important or fresh about the real world we live in and achieve this in different ways, but Mr. Robot arguably rules the television roost in this aspect. The programme tackles many difficult topics and themes head on, such as corporate and political corruption and greed, highlighting our obsession and reliance on material possessions, all the while intertwining its narrative with real world events.

Nowadays it isn't always hip to be concerned with social justice as it can seem uncool, hypocritical or preachy, but Mr. Robot avoids these potential pitfalls. As previously noted the show is inherently cool for being so stylish. If something or someone in an episode feels uncool, then it is done on purpose, whether it's with an intentionally poor motivational speech or by plainly showing us how many of the characters lives are actually uncool.

It also successfully navigates hypocrisy by simply embracing the fact that we and our society is often hypocritical, and so are the show's characters, nicely touched upon in the first series when fsociety member, Trenton, challenges the motivations of her hacking colleagues. And by admitting inherent hypocrisies and the intricacies that come with attempting to change the world we live in, Mr. Robot avoids feeling preachy (unless it serves the narrative or a specific character's development). To add these points to the great deal many aspects that Mr. Robot already does so well further proves how intelligently written and well thought-out the series is.
