The show follows Elliot, who is a cyber-security tech by day and vigilante hacker by night. He has used his hacking skills for justice and to protect those he cares about, but has problems connecting to people in the real world due to social anxiety. He strongly believes that the world is being ruled by the 1% of the 1% and, that using money and debt, they have enslaved mankind and he wishes desperately to change this. He is recruited by the head of a highly secret hacking group to take down the corporation he is being paid to protect with the hope of erasing 70% of all the debt in the world. He has had delusions in the past and sees a therapist who tries to help him and takes medication for it, but in the end he is unsure what is real and what is not, and so are we as we experience everything from his perspective.
SPOILER ALERT
Here is a description of Episode 00
Mr. Robot: Decoded,
a one-hour special episode of Mr. Robot dedicated to exploring the impact and authenticity of one of our favourite shows. Filled with commentary from creator Sam Esmail, this documentary-style episode also has interviews with the cast and crew.
Other than the cast we know and love, it also includes interviews with high-profile experts, actors, and writers, as they discuss what hacking is and what it means for society.
It's also a great way to prepare yourself for the new season of Mr. Robot. The Decoded special aired on July 6, one week before the two-hour premiere of Mr. Robot's second season on Wednesday, July 13 at 10 ET/PT.
I would advise not watching this until after 01 and 02 since it contains spoilers.
