The show is a mashup. However it deserves a mention of its originality. Mr Robot accurately portrays hacking culture, ideology, methodology and technique like no other show has. The producer Sam Esmail has family that took part in the Arab spring which inspired him to portray hacking as close to realism as possible. The show has a team of professional consultants working in information security, penetration testing, experienced black hat hackers and other related fields who come up with real world solutions to how they would pull of the hack and make sure the execution is accurate key stroke for key stroke. Instead of filling the screen with flashy graphics and pounding on a keyboard, The characters take months of planning, work out all the details and real hacking takes place (which happens to be far more interesting in my opinion). It also brings up and is based on real events and relates to the problems that we are facing in society today. So where it is easy to chalk the show up as a cultural mashup (which it is and makes it great), I feel it deserves to be noted on its originality and relevance to today's real world events as well.

The problem is not the outcome that is 'original' in your opinion, it's the main concept that is merely a replica. It's much less effort to copy another's work in comparison to starting from scratch and trying to do something 'original'. You say 'The characters take months of planning', well did you see Fight Club? It's the same, but with fight club it's funnier and goes deeper, in a single movie. The problems they target also are the same as in Fight Club, inequality, power abuse etc. (the usual concepts exploited by producers that make millions of the backs of people's conception of inequality while not sharing any profits they make or doing something to directly to improve something). Fight club is 20-years old and the problems still match it, it also shows how these movies have commercial purposes and aren't meant to actually make a difference. The writer actually ADMITTED it!

Another inspiration is Blade Runner. Tyrell's name is taken from the replicant manufacturing company, the Tyrell Corporation.

Is it a spectacular death or boring death, or no death at all.

The climax of S1 was two people united by the protagonist’s alter ego witnessing a major act of terror being orchestrated by said alter ego while ‘Where Is My Mind’ by The Pixies plays. The finale season 2 features the protagonist getting himself shot in an attempt to prevent the explosion of a building which would bring about the erasure of financial records freeing people of debt etc. So at the end of season 3 can I expect the main protagonist to look at the dishevelled-looking chain-smoking eyeliner-heavy female protagonist and say ‘you’ve met me at a very strange time of my life’ just before a single frame of a dick flashes? I really like this show, but come on, lay off the Fight Club!

I was surprised, cause the show for the most part ditched the Fight Club thing for a lot of S2 (or in it's own way acted like a quasi sequal to it with Mr Robot actually sticking around instead of dissapearing like Tyler Durden) and then in the finale they revealed that Phase 2 was literally Fight Club (admittedly there's a lot more going on behind the scenes then with Fight Club with Whiterose influencing everything)

Well, I think both Mr. Robot and Fight Club goes deeper than a simply negative comment on society, it's about questioning reality itself and how we may be prisioners of ourselves (I hope I'm not sounding too edgy here).The premisse of the show is indeed FSociety against society, but it's just the surface, in season two we can see Elliot and other characters struggling with himself and with the reality they created, it's not just simple ''oh yeah, fuck society, I'm a rebel''. The show even shows how shallow childsh revolutions are when in season 2 Fsociety makes the world wrost than was before, and can't even command themselves. Anyway man, I think you may be right about the fans who may take the show too seriously but at the same time is wrong to diminish it as something ''edgy for teens''.

Have you Seen the film Who am I? It's a German movie, that came out just a few months before Mr. Robot. It also deals with a protagonist that is a hacker and who struggles with his social life. After a while he meets a guy who helps him together with a few other people to form a underground "terror" hacking group. The Film completely feels like Fight Club the whole time and also has a fight club poster hanging in the background at one time. At the end the protagonist is caught by some German agency. He tells an agent the whole story and after listening to him she has a feeling that his friends might not be real and does some research. After a little bit of research she's one hundred percent sure, that his friends aren't real. Because she likes him, she lets him go. But the big twist is actually that his friends are indeed real and they all just messed with the agent's head, so the protagonist would be free. Except for the last part, the second twist, it's really really really close to the first season of Mr. Robot! Pretty funny that two cinematic products are made at the same time, in two different countries and than turn out to be almost the same movie without knowing about each other! Great minds think alike, it seems!

The graphics, composition of shot and production design stand out for me in this series.. The acting by supporting cast is absolute crazy good.. there are many aspects of this show that keep me watching and even though the references are throughout I still find the approach of production original and inspiring.

This is a super good video essay that captures the essence of the show perfectly. I don't believe nowadays art is made that is completely unique. Asides from being always extremely exposed to images and our entire world always influencing our ideas, I actually think there's nothing new left to make. Everything is already done (when it comes to art). All we can do is make eclectic art, using what we know to create a fusion of good things.

Great work guys!

I see it as paying homage and/or giving shout outs to other films. They're fun Easter Eggs to go through and try to find and/or figure out. It's also an argument against intellectual property. I'm the same age as Sam and this show captures the experience of someone born in the late 70's (even though Elliot is approximately 10 years younger than us, Elliot's experience through technology feels very much like our age group, but it makes total sense to age him down 10 years for a host of reasons, someone in their late 20's entering 30's as opposed to 30's entering 40's. It captures the film experience from an aging kid born in this time into adulthood as well as the inception of both video game and computer tech catching both at ground level and witnessing them explode into behemoth's, while being active participants in them. It's really weird because most of it takes place in modern times, however with flashbacks among many other things, at times it almost feels like the early 90's with modern technology. It's a period of time that is rarely referenced in films that do callbacks. Many shows like to call back to the goofy 80's, which we were just at the age that was too young to get into the goofy fads of the 80's and our middle school highschool years were 89-95. One of the only things to latch onto in our generation is the inception of technology and perhaps the inception of rap/gangster rap (I would also add guitar/metal music as well). Obviously Sam referenced tons of films growing up throughout this time... and of course stuff outside of this time like several Kubrick references throughout. Several movies and tv shows beyond 95 are referenced as well and of course the corny tv shows we grew up with was referenced in that one episode in the second season, which was straight up horrendous 80's television.

oh they reference so much more. not even american movies and tv. they did a major Death Note style scene in season 2, when Mr. Robot was eating an apple. and the obvious Steins; Gate reference shown through the clocks that white rose had

Actually Drive doesn't use this. It uses quadrant framing, which is different. Also the cinematography in Mr. Robot is hardly minimalistic. That'd be so in a film like The Life Aquatic. But Mr. Robot goes out of its way to help convey messages through cinematography. It uses everything from constantly breaking the rule of 3rds to very obvious Dutch angles during high tension and confrontation to a shallow depth of field whenever Elliot is by himself. But yeah surely label it pretentious. And if other aspects of this TV show were so pretentious you wouldn't see many analysis videos on it, would you?. To call Mr. Robot pretentious would be (by proxy) calling the things this show is inspired and referenced from pretentious as well

While SEL is great, i don't really see how it's that big of an inspiration for Mr.Robot, sure both explore very similar concepts with regards to god and alienation, but i'd argue if anything SEL is more of a cyberpunk-done-in-contemporary-setting/near-future while Mr.Robot is a lot more contemporary and makes effort to be so. If anything SEL and less so NGE and other experimental anime from the 90s influenced The Matrix, and Mr.Robot takes it's inspiration from The Matrix, so it's a lineage of references really, you can keep going down that route and say that SEL is inspired by Ghost in The Shell and NGE being a success thus proving that experimental genre deconstruction works, and that in itself is inspired by Mobile Suit Gundam Zeta which also deconstructed the mecha genre and delved into psychology and had a confusing ending, but that in itself is inspired by Space Runaway ideon... You get the idea. Also the brutally slow pace of Season 2 of Mr.Robot reminds me of Texhnolyze in the fact it is damn near unwatchable lol.

While Lain is profound and brilliant, with both sharing hacking as a subject, I see few similarities, I'm afraid...

excellent video and very informative :)

Loved it!

*_Mr. Robot_* seems brilliant Now I wish I'd never seen this video.

Just because a show samples other references it doesn't mean it lost its quality. They literally explain it in the video. Nothing we do is entirely original. Hell, art and litterature in their first forms and movements were more about recreating/rewriting an original work than trying to be unique.

i don't know never seen it but the guy looks like josh from until dawn right?????

Disappointed he didn't mention the completely overt references and homages to both Kubrick (that gorgeous ceiling in the board room!) and Lynch. Design aesthetic, details, entire scenes are all love letters to both film directors. Also Angela becoming Rachel from Blade Runner in s2 but that's beside the point.

Wow, this was great!

WoW. Thats awesome. Thanks man.

Sorry, but whoever thinks Mr Robot is just a copy, or amalgation of different other movies, or outright plagiarism, really doesn't understand art. No art exists in a void. We are a product of what we saw, whether we like it or not. Here there's a lot of references to different works of art, and they are simply a bit more obvious than usually. But Mr Robot still brings to the table more than simply just a remake of a couple of movies. It makes a statement. It creates a new story. It is nostalgic, sure, but it's also new.
