5. Mr Robot
This new series centres on Elliot (Rami Malek), a programmer who splits his time between being a cyber-security engineer and a vigilante hacker, and suffers from depression and social anxiety. Hes then recruited by Christian Slaters Mr Robot, the leader of a group of underground hackers, to take down the company he works for. Although the series doesnt begin until June 24, the pilot episode has already been made available online in the US. Its debuted to a lot of critical acclaim, with a 9.4 rating on IMDB (although thats not always the most reliable indicator, especially early in a shows run), and Forbes called it the best show of the summer. It sounds as though the pilot will be worth a watch at the very least.

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far.
A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
