Note: This is an advance, fairly spoiler-free review of the first episode of Mr. Robot. It's available to watch on YouTube now but doesn't premiere on USA until June 24.
When you've seen a particular subject depicted over and over again and maybe not in the best or most inventive ways, it's easy to feel fatigued. But just when you're about to raise your eyebrow in weary skepticism, a show comes along and surprises you. It happened with zombies in iZombie, and based on a single episode, it looks like it's happening with hackers in Mr. Robot. The new drama from USA doesn't make hacking look like a magical, solve every problem skill learned at Hogwarts and doesn't include glitzy and unnecessary shots of the camera traveling through the inner workings of laptops. It's grounded and fits better with my perception of hacking (not that I can say I have any real world experience).
