I watch suits and I always see where Mr robot follows it, but I haven't seen it yet.

I am trying not to hate you right now.

I failed.

Mr. Robot is strange.

Screwed up and deranged is more what I was thinking.

I'm through 2 episodes now. It's pretty damn good so far. The suspense is really amping up. You were right Mo, I do like this.

When you mentioned X-Files I remembered you really enjoyed that and I think anyone who was into X-Files will love this, because IMO it's better.

For what it's worth, I REALLY like X-Files, so I don't see any way 8 episodes of anything is enough for me to push it past X-Files, but having said this, this show does seem like it could be great. I'm going to try to spread watching out over a few days because I feel like I forget more details when I binge something. And with it only being 8 episodes, I don't really want to knock that out in a night or two.

Yeah I did the same thing. It really does well in small doses. I think I finished it over the course of 4-5 days and it was perfect.

I think its a different animal than the X-Files. There are some scenes that are very reminiscent of the X-Files at its best, but overall its more of a genre homage to 80's sci fi fantasy and horror.

I'm still mad at Dave.
