USA's 'Mr. Robot' Spoilers: Will Christian Slater, Rami Malek, Portia Doubleday Discover Elliot's "Fight?"
USA Network will premiere their highly anticipated hacker drama, Mr. Robot, tonight alongside with the Season 5 premiere of Suits. Will viewers discover the "fight for survival" between Mr. Robot (Christian Slater), Angela (Portia Doubleday) and Elliot (Rami Malek)?
As we previously mentioned, Mr. Robot centers on a young and isolated programmer named Elliot (Malek). Suffering from an anti-social disorder, Elliot can only connect to people by actually hacking them. Elliot is then recruited to join an underground hacker organization determined to bring down corporate America by a mysterious anarchist named Mr. Robot (Slater).
We also mentioned, Angela and Elliot are childhood friends, who now work at a corporate cyber security firm. Angela is ambitious and determined to get ahead, unaware that her best friend is secretly trying to destroy everything she stands for with his underground hacker ring.
In an interview with Forbes, Malek describes how New York serves as a reflection for Elliot's inner turmoil, "I have to say right off the bat shooting in New York, it just gives us an incredible element to play with. It's another character for the show. It really grounds our world, because once you go out in this city, you just see how nominal your existence can be. And what makes it incredibly special is that there are characters like Elliot who are fighting to do something about his own personal life, the lives of his friends, and the society he lives in as a whole."
Malek adds, "When you go out and you see just how massive that undertaking can be, it speaks to his character, his perseverance, and all of our capabilities as human beings when our survival and wellbeing is at stake."
