I never watched Mr. Roboto, but that sounds like what I heard it was about... I think the issue may be social status, software gurus aren't viewed the way doctors or lawyers are. They're paid well, but they aren't respected the same way for some reason.
It's probably also an issue of writing - walking the line between realism and cool isn't easy, doubly so if the writers aren't themselves technical people. People are still referencing Mcguyver, but nobody's had the hubris to try and reboot that classic.
- Levitz 5y agoMr. Robot is less House M.D. and more Paper Trail, only with a definite protagonist and a whole lot of mental issues. At least as far as first season (of Mr.Robot) is concerned.

It survived 5 seasons despite receiving abysmal reviews. "Young Angus "Mac" MacGyver works for a clandestine organization within the U.S. government, relying on his unconventional problem-solving skills to save lives."

- Kbelicius 5y agoA reboot started airing last year. Sadly no Ryan Reynolds.
- SuoDuanDao 5y agoOh dear. I don't know whether to feel silly or vindicated for not knowing that.
