Hello, friends, and welcome to the first instalment of an fSobriety deep-dive rewatch of USA Network’s Mr Robot. Join James and a giddier/gigglier-than-usual Craig as they journey back to the year 2015 to appreciate Sam Esmail’s landmark television opus from new perspectives gleaned through the prisms of the show’s conclusion and the post-5/9-esque reality of 2020.

Beginning, logically enough, with the pilot episode, our hosts revitalise their love of Mr Robot while attempting to separate the clues from the red herrings, the ones from the zeros, and ponder the most vital of the lingering questions: What is Tyrell Wellick’s true purpose? Who really was Mr Robot’s “father”, and could it have been Bugs Bunny? Was Magda Alderson truly a monster? Is Fun Society a portal to eldritch dimensions? Does the paucity of windows in Elliot’s apartment reflect a distrust of Microsoft? WHO OWNS THE JET?! And did supposed South American wine connoisseur Craig really mistake a Chilean shiraz for an Argentine one?! This podcast is brought to you by post-funeral catharsis and audible heart emojis.
