Mr. Robot anyone?
Mr Robot is the best piece of art in the Movie/TV genre I've ever consumed.
I was just about to say, read the thread. It's been brought up numerous times. Personally, I'm a huge fan.Mr. Robot anyone?

Yeah my bad. I typically go back 2-3 pages when I’m thinking about mentioning something and I didn’t see anything within that frame.
I watched the opening episode last night and was immediately in. Fucking loved it; it’s done so well because in theory how can you make a show about an IT guy so suspenseful and tense? But there I am, tense as fuck. I also love Eliot’s character already. Dude kills that role.
I’m saying all this after one episode.
Has anyone seen Sam Esmail's new show, Briarpatch? Also on USA. It's co-written by Andy Greenwald, who is a former (I think) TV critic and co-hosts The Watch podcast on The Ringer network.
I am about 1-1/2 episodes into Briarpatch and I'm not entirely sure how to describe it. The plot hasn't quite caught me. Its style is quirky yet dull and overall is missing the mark for me. I'm going to stick with it for now. I believe the 3rd episode came out last night
On the subject of Esmail, Homecoming (Amazon Video), was a giant disappointment after coming away super intrigued after the pilot.
Was going to echo your sentiments on Briarpatch. Haven't seen Homecoming, but if that's the case, worries me that Esmail is going to pull off one great show, and everything else will pale in comparison.
To backtrack myself a bit here, it looks like Esmail is the Executive Producer on Briarpatch; Greenwald is the creator.
Esmail created Mr. Robot and Homecoming and it appears he has a few mini-series that have been announced or are in pre-production, per IMDB
Not sure how much the distinction matters. I know this is Greenwald's first time diving into TV creating/producing and Esmail is a good friend
Also, it looks like Homecoming has a 2nd season coming out in 2020. Great cast, just found it dull and unimaginitive, personally.
Are any of the star trek shows in 4k/HDR yet?
