Last night was the second season premiere of one of our all-time favorite shows, “Mr. Robot.” If you haven’t heard of it before, it’s about time you do. The show stars Hollywood stalwart Christian Slater and our newest swoon-worthy crush, Rami Malek, who both belong to a hacker collective that overthrows America’s largest corporation. The first season was phenomenal, and episode 2.1 was straight fire. It’s that can’t-eat-can’t-sleep-type of TV, perfect for the kind of episode-binging only indulged by pure-bred millennials. And now that Nikki can say Rami’s name correctly, there’s no stopping us when we go off on how great the show is --- and how sexy our crazy-eyed protagonist is.
