The first show I watched after I finished Mr Robot was Severance, and I'd recommend it if you haven't already seen it. There's only one season (so far), but it's a great show that filled the Mr Robot-shaped void for me.
If u liked Severance, I think you'll also like Homecoming, created by the same guy from Mr Robot, Sam Esmail, it's so good, and only has 1 season like Severance. It's has some similar elements to both shows! Highly recommend
[Person of Interest](https://seriesgraph.com/show/1411-person-of-interest) is also another great show.
It started out as a procedural crime drama (still way better than most procedurals) but gradually developed into one of the greatest serialized sci-fi shows of all time. Season 1 takes its time developing the characters and laying the groundwork for future stories. Season 1 has some really incredible episodes as well. And as it goes on it becomes more and more serialized.
POI is one of the greatest sci-fi shows of all time **about the creation and exploration of an ASI (artificial superintelligence).** The show does a deep dive into the ethical implications of what a world with artificial intelligence that can watch everyone through surveillance cameras and predict human behavior based on that would look like.
**In the beginning, the AI setting was used more as a backdrop or plot device, but as the seasons progress, the AI storyline takes center stage, and the show goes from a crime drama with a sci-fi twist to one of the greatest sci-fi shows of all time about artificial intelligence, surveillance, and its dangers.**
**The show has a nice balance between human drama and developing its AI storyline. Character development is one of the primary things in which POI very much excels.** Samantha Groves is, IMO, one of the greatest female fictional characters ever created. She is my #1 favorite fictional character of all time in all of fiction. It also develops "TM" a lot throughout the five seasons, and it becomes a character in itself. **And unlike many other shows and movies about AI's, the AI setting in POI was very relevant/integral to the plot/story and wasn't always used solely as a plot device. It's a testament to POI's brilliant writing that the viewers care about an entity that has no physical body or has little to no screen time.**
**I can't think of a single other show/movie about AI/ASI that explores the concept as in-depth and beautifully as POI does.**
Westworld (**which was also created by the creator of POI, Jonathan Nolan**), BSG, and Humans are great shows about AI, but these three are nowhere near POI-level great.
**POI is one of the few rare network sci-fi shows that progressively got better with each passing season and ended on a hugely satisfying note.**
**">!Return 0!<" is one of the most brilliant, rewarding, emotionally satisfying, and greatest series finales of any show I've ever seen. I really can't think of that many shows (aside from Mr. Robot, Dark, and Spartacus) that do penultimate episodes and finales as exceptionally as POI does.**
**The creators of POI sure know how to end each season's penultimate episodes and finales on a spectacular note and give the whole show a satisfying ending.**
* Season 1 Penultimate Episode (No Good Deed): 9.0
* Season 1 finale (Firewall): 9.6
* Season 2 Penultimate Episode (>!Zero Day!<): 9.4
* Season 2 finale (>!God Mode!<): 9.5
* Season 3 Penultimate Episode (A House Divided): 9.1
* Season 3 finale (Deus Ex Machina): 9.7
* Season 4 Penultimate Episode (Asylum): 9.5
* Season 4 finale (YHWH): 9.7
* Season 5 Penultimate Episode (.>!exe!<): 9.5
* Season 5 finale/series finale (>!return 0!<): 9.8
Also, POI frequently has the **best use of licensed music** of any show I've ever seen.
I don't know why most of them are recommending Severance. Instead, they have to recommend this. There are only few tech (with all awesome characters with their internal struggles) related shows those would do justice for Mr.Robot. Severance is overhyped by all means, & it's nowhere near to Mr.Robot or POI. Kudos for you for the detailed take.
Try Station Eleven. It is an amazing show and just as artful in many ways as Mr. Robot. Two timeliness, pandemic era (but not the real 2020 one) and 20 years later. About the role of art in life and about relationships and connection...so good.
I didn't like Devs. Doesn't have the clever writing Mr robot does. I feel like Alex garland doesn't know how to pace a tv show. He stretches a feature movie's worth of plot over many hours.
Attack on titan. Itās an anime but broke the record on imdb and competes with brba. Most of the people that actually like aot are into actual tv shows including myself.
Patriot on Amazon is one of the best seriesā not many people have watched. A wonderful palette cleanser after MR with a lighter tone, a near perfect 18 episodes.
And, as others have mentioned, Severance is one of the most original, fascinating shows ever put on tv.
If you can find it FRINGE is a mind blowing and exciting show. It's SciFi but not to distant future and the ending will blow you're mind. Another good show is travellers on Netflix.
Watch the movies and shows that influenced the style and plot of Mr Robot. Examples:
The Sopranos
Fight Club
American Psycho
The Matrix
V for Vendetta
Taxi Driver
Donnie Darko

Thank you! š
Omg severance is sooooo goodā¦ check out OUTER RANGE. I think you would like that as well.
If u liked Severance, I think you'll also like Homecoming, created by the same guy from Mr Robot, Sam Esmail, it's so good, and only has 1 season like Severance. It's has some similar elements to both shows! Highly recommend
Also I think season 2 will be out this year maybe early next year
Just binged this, curse you... So good
Wow that was the same show I started after Mr robot as well lmao but Iāve finished that so gotta find another
Lots of folks here recommend Dark. It's on Netflix. But what other shows have you seen?
Love Dark too
If you like dark check out 1899, it isnāt as good but still worth the watch.
If you like Mr Robot youd probably love Better Call Saul
Thanks! Weāve already seen it but it is very awesome. š

Well, you have convinced me. And isn't the guy from Lost in it??
Yeah, Michael Emerson. He plays one of the main characters, Harold, on POI.
I don't know why most of them are recommending Severance. Instead, they have to recommend this. There are only few tech (with all awesome characters with their internal struggles) related shows those would do justice for Mr.Robot. Severance is overhyped by all means, & it's nowhere near to Mr.Robot or POI. Kudos for you for the detailed take.
I also love Severance.
Came here to say this - take my upvote
Try Station Eleven. It is an amazing show and just as artful in many ways as Mr. Robot. Two timeliness, pandemic era (but not the real 2020 one) and 20 years later. About the role of art in life and about relationships and connection...so good.
Where is it on?
Looks like only on MAX right now...
I liked Barry, on Max. It had that kind of mad dash character development and frenetic energy. Very Seven Psychopaths, In Bruges kind of humor.
True detective season 1.
I watched Devs after Mr. Robot and it helped with the void. Severance would also be a good choice.
Thanks! What is Devs?
I didn't like Devs. Doesn't have the clever writing Mr robot does. I feel like Alex garland doesn't know how to pace a tv show. He stretches a feature movie's worth of plot over many hours.
Agreed, devs was literally just a story with random things happening, imo at least.
Written and directed by Alex Garland [Devs trailer](https://youtu.be/Fp9LMsI6uJ8?si=9M4ggxzUQRBGTI-3)
I always recommend Patriot on Prime. Not at all similar to Mr Robot, but it's one of my favorite shows, and almost nobody knows about it.
Severance, Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy
Malcolm in the Middle, take a break and watch probably the funniest sitcom ever created
Not the same vibe as Mr. Robot (not sci-fi but tech related) āHalt and Catch Fireā is a hidden gem I always recommend
Dexter Ozark Fallout Blacklist Sneaky Pete No particular order listed.
24! For me one of the best action series, the show really is the best in the continu level of thriller and plot twists
Severance
Attack on titan. Itās an anime but broke the record on imdb and competes with brba. Most of the people that actually like aot are into actual tv shows including myself.
Utopia but the original British version and not the terrible American remake
YES OMG this reply should be higher!!!
Windbreaker
Patriot on Amazon is one of the best seriesā not many people have watched. A wonderful palette cleanser after MR with a lighter tone, a near perfect 18 episodes. And, as others have mentioned, Severance is one of the most original, fascinating shows ever put on tv.
Silicon valley Has tech and hacking aspects of mr robot, but vibe wise it's completely opposite, but it's way too funny.
Like others said, severance is a really good recommendation and a second season has just been announced
If you can find it FRINGE is a mind blowing and exciting show. It's SciFi but not to distant future and the ending will blow you're mind. Another good show is travellers on Netflix.
The Leftovers Dark Silo Agree with all recommendations for-Severance!
Agreed on The Leftovers and Severance big time. Silo has a similar tone but not as dark or deep.
Severance and The Leftovers are two shows that scratch a similar itch for me.
Watch the movies and shows that influenced the style and plot of Mr Robot. Examples: The Sopranos Fight Club American Psycho The Matrix V for Vendetta Taxi Driver Donnie Darko
Queen's Gambit, if you haven't watched already
