Hailed by critics and audiences as one of the most exciting television news of 2015, “Mr. Robot “is a cake with carefully chosen ingredients and impeccable cooking, but who lack the yeast. There is a surprisingly subtle depiction of psychological problems and addictions. There is an admirable attention to detail computer, which made a miracle of the freak party. There is a faithful and updated portrait of the sociological to the helm of every revolution, the angry young man. There is an investigation very nuanced about the real, headed by an unreliable narrator construction: a search by postmodern vague inkling perfected by another recent product, “The Affair”, with the kaleidoscopic story of horns. Add in the icy Joanna, the Valkyrie from which everyone would like to be handcuffed to the radiator and gagged with a ball gag.

RELATED Mr. Robot tells the true generational hero wants to subvert reality, but does not know if reality exists Privacy & amp; Microwave The ideological approach of the narrative, however, is idling: and not just because Fsociety, the group of hackers around which the story revolves, apparently explanted from an advertising campaign by Oliviero Toscani. The villain of the story is E-Corp, ubiquitous industrial agglomeration by illustrious references: a little ‘Microsoft, a bit’ Google, a bit ‘JP Morgan – but the logo mirrors that of Enron, and certain scenes transpire even disturbing aesthetic Hitler . The pretext that sews the trajectory of the company to that of the protagonists is the environmental scandal inevitable unpunished, but to make it a significant goal is the role that it plays in the global banking system.

E-Corp – indeed, for “Evil Corp” – also works Elliot Alderson, the reluctant leadership of colored handful of telematic raiders. the talented but fragile security expert, Elliot has an imaginary friend (the viewer), hovers with binary rigor between morphine and Suboxone, violates the virtual lives of those who love (to ensure the emotional safety) and who despise (to recompense to the misdeeds). Become hackers out of necessity rather than by vocation: it is the only code that knows to relate to the people around him. When his protective instincts misunderstanding ferments up to embrace the whole of humanity, however, that same code appears to him the ideal tool to liberate it.

From the power? No: by money, debt, “from one percent of one percent.” Not deceive the nostalgic reminder of the “gold standard” wet chimera of a consistent libertarian fringe. Whips pull of anti-capitalist “Mr. Robot “leave no room for interpretation: if we are manipulated through the food we trangugiamo, communication networks that pascoliamo, medicines we take, the publicity that we sorbate, then the planet must be removed from the invisible hand” that there marchia with a “card and” controls us without our realizing it. “

even when the plan – clear the memory of millions of financial transactions – was accomplished, Elliot grabs the debt is simply a photograph in negative credit, and to fade away mortgages must also sacrifice deposits. Especially, even when the catastrophe opens the way to government emergency solutions, Elliot recognizes that the alleged emancipation has missed the target. Claiming to speak of freedom without ever frame the policy is “Mr. Robot “a coitus interruptus: the story focuses on the social relations with some credibility, but never come to light the fulcrum on which govern. In this way end up witnessing the genesis of a revolution without s’intraveda no power to replace.

If we spoke of a series on the role of technology, this weakness would perhaps excusable. But the ambition of “Mr. Robot “is to illustrate fully, through the technological dynamics, a precise vision of the company – the script, in fact, highlights scrupulously as any computer intrusion reveal the helplessness of man, even more than the inexperience of the specialist. The problem is that it is a partial and fallacious. In this sense, the many similarities with topical accidents – since the attack on Ashley Madison to that to Sony, live up to the murder case in Virginia, who recommended the postponement of the final of the first season – denote descriptive capabilities outside common, but not enough to prove equally remarkable analytical skills.

the showrunner Sam Esmail – of Egyptian origin as the hallucinatory character Rami Malek – often identified in the “Arab spring” the fundamental inspiration for this his work. And though the result looks more picturesque camping Occupy Wall Street. “Why do you do?” They ask. “To save the world,” Elliot replied. Commendable intention, but should first understand it.
