7 Reasons You Should Watch Mr. Robot Right Now
4. Its Unpredictability
Any TV show worth its salt these days has to have at least a degree of unpredictability, but Mr. Robot isn't content to give you a twist per season, oh no. There are enough twists and turns in both the first and second season of Mr. Robot to have your jaw hit the floor in every single episode, sometimes even multiple times. It's also perhaps the biggest reason that the programme is so binge-worthy, meaning that watching a single episode in one sitting is never enough, which is essential for television these days if a show is to be a long-lasting success (but it also means that you are in for a tortuous week of waiting if you watch them as they are released).
Even when a veteran television addict might see a twist coming it's still done in such a memorable and provocative way to ensure that it is still shocking. And don't worry if you predicted the end of one episode, because you can bet your house that it won't be long until the next big reveal hits you like a tonne of bricks.
And these aren't simply small, inconsequential twists. Every single one alters the entire direction of the narrative and has a massive effect on the characters. Knowing that the whole story could change from one episode to the next means that you are liable to ignore any responsibilities you may have in the real world, but you won't mind because you'll be too comfortably perched on the edge of your seat, unable to avert your eyes.
