Mr. Robot
Control is an illusion.
Created by Sam Esmail
On USA Network
A psychologically interior, paranoid thriller that uses hacking as a metaphor for control and connection, grounded in one man's fractured perception of reality.
A young programmer, Elliot, suffers from a debilitating anti-social disorder and decides that he can only connect to people by hacking them. He wields his skills as a weapon to protect the people that he cares about. Elliot finds himself in the intersection between a cybersecurity firm he works for and the underworld organizations that are recruiting him to bring down corporate America.
