The Blogboard Jungle

Stream on Amazon Prime Finally, the big reveal on Mr. Robot that we kind of all knew was coming.  What was good about it, even though we already knew what was coming , was when Elliot said to the viewing audience,"You already knew, didn't you?" Yes, Elliot. We did know. The whole F-Society vs. Evil Corp story kind of took a back seat to Elliot's revelation, but it does not seem to be going anywhere, and neither is Mr. Robot. Figment of Elliot's imagination or not, Mr. Robot let Elliot know he will never be rid of him. Our corporate American Psycho friend wants in on Elliot and F-society's plans since he has fallen out of grace with his wife and Evil Corp. Two nuts in a little pod look to be working together. One cool thing they did in the show was play a piano version of the Pixies, Where is my mind , which was played in Fight Club when the episode came to a close. You can say they're copying Fight Club , but is that really a bad thing?

click to stream from Amazon A lot has happened since the last time Mr. Robot was written about here . Since, Elliot has lost someone close to him and the Fight Club plot line seems to be unraveling. Even if a lot of people called that early in the show, where it could be going is still reason to watch. The  American Psycho plot is also unraveling and what makes that interesting is that, this particular psycho has an equally psychotic co-pilot that will help him in his psychotic endeavors. Funny thing revealed in the last episode that our corporate psycho and Mr. Robot seem to be well aware of each other. Their psychotic endeavors to either over-throw the one percent, or become one of them have been spinning around each other all along. It was not completely underlined that Mr. Robot played by Christian Slater is in fact Elliot played by Rami Malek. However, if they are going to clear that up it will most likely be in the episodes to come. The way the story is being to...

When the show first premiered it came at a good time when a lot of shows are on hiatus. USA has had a lot of winners with that formula and this will definitely be another for the cable network. When  +The Blogboard Jungle  first mentioned Mr. Robot it was referred to as a mix of Fight Club and Clockwork Orange . You can add American Psycho to that to make for a show a lot of people are watching. One unique thing about the show is that every episode begins with no opening montage. The episode just starts and music slowly creeps up until the title sequence hits the screen. The main character Elliot always talks to us, the viewing audience.  Something that was present during Fight Club. Episode five even had Elliot accuse us viewers of not being real, just like Tyler Durden wasn't real. We're calling it here, Mr. Robot played by Christian Slater, is probably not real. Unoriginal? Sure. It still makes for a good story line. If you look at the films mentioned that m...

In keeping with capitalizing on the off season of television, the USA network kicked off another show along with Complications this summer. Mr. Robot , has the feel of Clockwork Orange , mixed with Fight Club , on a weekly TV series that is sure to draw in a strong fan-base. Rami Malek, plays Elliot, a tech worker in a giant cyber security at a big company. Christian Slater also stars as the title character, Mr. Robot, who runs F-society a group similar to Anonymous. He and Elliot look to bring down Wall Street, government, and the corporations that seem to buy politics. Something seems off about everyone in Elliot's life though. It seems he feels he's being watched around every aspect of his life. You, the viewer, are aware of this because the show features narration from Elliot with the audience. So far, there has only been two episodes but +The Blogboard Jungle can safely say Mr. Robot is on the watch list. If you have not checked it out yet, now is the ...
