Here’s what critics are saying about Mr. Robot:
- “It left me electrified. A” –Jeff
Jensen, Entertainment Weekly
- “Addictive, entertaining and popular
out-of-nowhere summer series” –Tim Goodman, The Hollywood
Reporter
- “A modern classic” –Merrill Barr,
Forbes
- “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.”
–Alessandra Stanley, The New York Times
- “Mr. Robot is compulsively watchable
and interesting. It's a reminder that even the most well-worn
cliches can still work with the right execution” –Alan
Sepinwall, Hitfix
- “Damn near perfect” –Jessica Rawden,
Cinemablend
“Mr. Robot is one the most compelling new dramas on television,”

leads a great cast with an intriguing story full of dark twists.
Prime members are going to love binging on this awesome show.”
“Mr. Robot is a tremendous success and Amazon Prime has provided
a great opportunity to make the show even more accessible to
audiences,” said Frances Manfredi, President, NBCUniversal
Television and New Media Distribution. "We are pleased that Amazon
recognizes the high quality of NBCUniversal’s content and is
partnering with us in a network friendly way that allows viewers to
watch the show when and where they want it.”
