Mr. Robot is an American drama series following cyber security expert and hacker Elliot Alderson as he struggles with mental health issues, social anxiety and drug abuse. Elliot is recruited by the anarchist Mr. Robot to join the hacking group Fsociety and is slowly drawn into a complex conspiracy.
Canon
Suffering from delusions, Elliot is an unreliable narrator who rarely understands his own motivations and sometimes intentionally misleads the viewer. Often breaking the fourth wall, he refers to the audience as his imaginary friend. His decisions are the driving force for much of the action in the series, but he only partially understands his own role.
