Mr. Robot

I recently began watching a show that I heard about on NPR one day. It's a show called Mr. Robot, and it's actually pretty cool!

It has a kind dark vibe to it but it was thoroughly entertaining. The music is interesting too; it reminded of the music from Portal 2 when I first heard it. Take a listen below.







This is just one song from Portal 2. They obviously have their differences but I think they both carry a similar style of tune. There are lots of other songs from Portal 2, and if you've listened to the full soundtrack you might agree with me that the themes of the game are similar to this song at least.

Mr. Robot is interesting because you start out looking at the story from one direction, then it flips around and you seem to be watching the show from a complete opposite direction. There's a lot of anarchical themes throughout the show, and deals a lot with programming. I don't know much (or anything...) about programming personally but it is all still very entertaining.

The main character, Elliot, is played by actor Rami Malek. His role in the show won him an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor In A Drama Series.

It's definitely worth watching!
