Carly Chaikin as Darlene
Portia Doubleday as Angela Moss
Christian Slater as Mr. Robot
Martin Wallstrom as Tyrell Wellick

The reason I decided to watch this series was because of the positive reviews and the intriguing plot. I'm not really into this kind of series (I'm more of The Last Ship/The Blacklist kind of girl) but seeing that it has an interesting story, I was sold. And I have to admit that this series confused me a lot and Elliot was so fucked up sometimes.

Synopsis from Wikipedia:
The series follows Elliot Alderson, a young man living in New York City, who works at the cyber security company Allsafe as a security engineer. Constantly struggling with social anxiety disorder and clinical depression, Elliot's thought process seems heavily influenced by paranoia and delusion. He connects to people by hacking them, which often leads him to act as a cyber- vigilante. He is recruited by a mysterious insurrectionary anarchist known as Mr. Robot and joins his team of hacktivists known as fsociety. One of their missions is to cancel all debts by taking down one of the largest corporations in the world, E Corp (which Elliot perceives as Evil Corp), which also happens to be Allsafe's biggest client.

Elliot is not your typical character. While being a skilled computer programmer/hacker, he's an anti usual who spends time alone, hacking or stalking facebook pages or something. He doesn't tell anyone his feelings, he doesn't usually talk and he's awkward around people. I won't say I didn't like Elliot but his character was so messed up, he didn't even know what was real anymore. He had hallucinations sometimes and it didn't help that he can't remember some parts of his childhood. The moment Mr. Robot appeared in his life, things became even more complicated and it was the beginning of his association with fsociety.

  Mr. Robot and Elliot

The series is basically about Elliot trying to bring down multinational companies that he thinks are ruining the world. With his superb knowledge on computer, he uses it to hack into everything that can help him and the fsociety on destroying these companies.

The series also focuses on other characters' story like on Angela Moss, Elliot's childhood friend, whose mother died of leukemia caused by a toxic waste leak that was allegedly covered up by Terry Colby. It was the same leak that caused the death of Elliot's father. Now Angela wants to bring justice to her mother's death, making a deal with Colby but we're yet to find out what will happen to that. Another character is Darlene, a member of fsociety who is later on revealed as Elliot's sister.

Season 2 will premiere on July 13, 2016 and I'm sure it will be bigger and crazier than the first! And I mean that in a good way.
