Mr. Robot is an American drama thriller television series created by Sam Esmail for USA Network. It stars Rami Malek as Elliot Alderson, a cybersecurity engineer and hacker with social anxiety disorder, clinical depression, and dissociative identity disorder. Elliot is recruited by an insurrectionary anarchist known as "Mr. Robot", played by Christian Slater, to join a group of hacktivists called "fsociety". The group aims to destroy all debt records by encrypting the financial data of E Corp, the largest conglomerate in the world.

The pilot premiered via online and video on demand services on May 27, 2015. In addition to Malek and Slater, the series stars an ensemble cast featuring Carly Chaikin, Portia Doubleday, Martin Wallström, Michael Cristofer, Stephanie Corneliussen, Grace Gummer, BD Wong, Bobby Cannavale, Elliot Villar, and Ashlie Atkinson. The first season debuted on USA Network on June 24, 2015; the second season premiered on July 13, 2016; and the third season premiered on October 11, 2017. The fourth and final season premiered on October 6, 2019, and concluded on December 22, 2019.

Mr. Robot received critical acclaim, particularly for the performances of Malek and Slater, its story and visual presentation and Mac Quayle's musical score. The series has gained a cult following. Esmail has received praise for his direction of the series, having directed three episodes in the first season before serving as the sole director for the remainder of the show. The show received numerous accolades, including two Golden Globe Awards, three Primetime Emmy Awards, and a Peabody Award.

Originally, the show planned to dress Elliot in a worn sweatshirt and colorful backpack; however, Malek suggested a black backpack and wore his own B:Scott black hoodie to set.{{Cite web |last1=Screws |first1=Nic |title=Rami Malek, Star of Mr. Robot, Is Ready to Start Dressing Like a Grown-Up |work=Bloomberg.com |date=August 26, 2015 |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2015-08-26/rami-malek-star-of-mr-robot-is-ready-to-start-dressing-like-a-grown-up |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171125145958/https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2015-08-26/rami-malek-star-of-mr-robot-is-ready-to-start-dressing-like-a-grown-up |archive-date=November 25, 2017 |access-date=November 29, 2019 |url-status=live}} The outfit became the signature look for the character, and the costume designer ordered 20 more of them, despite the item having been discontinued years earlier. To portray the unusual, often confused worldview of lead character Elliot Alderson, Franklin Peterson, who edited three Mr. Robot episodes in the first season and six in the second season, used creative editing styles that included jump cuts, varied lengths of takes and shuffling scenes around within an episode and sometimes even between episodes. Esmail encouraged the experimentation as Peterson and his team explored the personality of each character in the editing suite, finding creative ways to tell their stories and maintain their humanity.{{Cite news |url=https://variety.com/2017/artisans/production/mr-robot-editing-1202449276/ |title='Mr. Robot' Editing Style Reflects Chaotic View of Main Character |last=Galas |first=Marj |date=June 2, 2017 |work=Variety|access-date=June 10, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170609171528/http://variety.com/2017/artisans/production/mr-robot-editing-1202449276/|archive-date=June 9, 2017|url-status=live}}

The show's cinematographer Tod Campbell is known for helping craft "a distinct moody and disruptive" feel to the scenes' atmosphere through stylistic lighting and camera choices.{{Cite web |last=Yang |first=Rachel |date=June 4, 2019 |title='Mr. Robot' and 'Homecoming' Cinematographer on Evolution of Sam Esmail Collaboration |url=https://variety.com/2019/tv/features/mr-robot-homecoming-cinematographer-tod-campbell-evolution-sam-esmail-interview-1203206142/ |access-date=November 1, 2023 |website=Variety |language=en-US}} The unorthodox approach taken involves characters "placed at the very bottom of the frame" which in turn "leaves massive amounts of headroom that suggests a great weight hanging over their heads, and echoes their isolation." The intended effect for audiences is to feel a sense of "mounting paranoia and dissociation" of the protagonist.{{Cite web |last=Collins |first=Sean T. |date=September 2, 2015 |title=How Mr. Robot Became One of TV's Most Visually Striking Shows |url=https://www.vulture.com/2015/09/mr-robot-visually-striking-cinematography.html |access-date=November 1, 2023 |website=Vulture |language=en}}

In an interview with Terry Gross for the radio show Fresh Air, Malek recounted contacting a psychologist to learn about schizophrenia, dissociative identity disorder, and social anxiety.

Merrill Barr of Forbes gave it a very positive review, writing, "Mr. Robot has one of the best kick-offs to any series in a while" and that it "could be the series that finally, after years of ignorance, puts a deserving network among the likes of HBO, AMC and FX in terms of acclaim."{{cite web |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/merrillbarr/2015/05/27/mr-robot-usa-review/ |title='Mr. Robot' Review: The Best Show Of The Summer And On Track To Be A Modern Classic |work=Forbes |first=Merrill |last=Barr |date=May 27, 2015 |access-date=June 27, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150630112222/http://www.forbes.com/sites/merrillbarr/2015/05/27/mr-robot-usa-review/ |archive-date=June 30, 2015 |url-status=live}}

In The New York Times, Alessandra Stanley noted that "Occupy Wall Street, the protest movement that erupted in 2011, didn't do much to curb the financial industry. It didn't die out, though. It went Hollywood", before finding Mr. Robot to be, "an intriguing new series ... a cyber-age thriller infused with a dark, almost nihilistic pessimism about the Internet, capitalism and income inequality. And that makes it kind of fun".{{cite news |last=Stanley |first=Alessandra |title=Review: 'Mr. Robot' Debuts on USA |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/24/arts/television/review-in-mr-robot-even-the-paranoid-may-have-enemies.html |date=June 23, 2015 |newspaper=The New York Times |access-date=October 27, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151001190010/http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/24/arts/television/review-in-mr-robot-even-the-paranoid-may-have-enemies.html |archive-date=October 1, 2015 |url-status=live}} The UK The Daily Telegraph reviewer Michael Hogan gave the show five stars, finding it to be "The Matrix meets Fight Club meets Robin Hood", noting that, "bafflingly, it took months for a UK broadcaster to snap up the rights". Although Hogan found too much attention was devoted to Elliot's social anxiety, he eventually decided that "this alienated anti-hero was a brilliant, boldly complex character." Overall, Hogan concluded that the show deserved to find an audience in the UK.{{cite news |last=Hogan |first=Michael |title=Mr Robot, review: 'edgily exciting' |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/tv-and-radio-reviews/11934858/Mr-Robot-review.html |date=October 16, 2015 |newspaper=The Daily Telegraph |access-date=October 27, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151019002639/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/tv-and-radio-reviews/11934858/Mr-Robot-review.html |archive-date=October 19, 2015 |url-status=live}}
