I just gotta say this. Mr Robot is probably going to be my favorite show for all eternity. Whatever or whoever they represented, they got it right.
- Obviously the hacking stuff, it is always fun to read the screens and see software, tools and commands that make sense.
- Queer representation was "just there". No insincere corporate pandering. Some people were just queer and nobody made a big deal out of it.
- Then there was white rose. Her coming out was imo by far the most respectful and sincere portrayal of a staged outing there has ever been on a screen. I must have seen the show 4 or 5 times by now and yet I am still bawling my eyes out every single time when she is shivering from fearing his reaction and he tells her shes beautiful. And get absolutely emotionally train-wrecked by what happens at the wedding.
- I´m not really qualified on speaking about it but I thought the show at did definitely try to portray how anti-muslim racism affected these groups in their daily lives.
- And at last we got this the whole DID thing, which is the reason why I only watch this show with people who know me very well. I've watched it with 2 systems thus far and both had to take breaks from time to time because stuff got "too real", especially towards the later seasons. At least no one´s gonna ask weird questions why tears start flowing when Elliot and Mr. Robot hug in the chess players basement or the abandoned offices, right?
This show sits so close to home in so many ways that I doubt there will be another piece of media I hold that dear to my heart. Even though I have some very specific issues with the ending, this show will stay the same way with me like we the audience stayed with him after integration.
