What critics compared Mr. Robot to
He plays to type here, essentially reheating his role as introverted hacker in Mr Robot (2015-19).
Malik is perfectly suited to this role, not dissimilar from “Mr. Robot,”…
It’s not unlike his Elliot Alderson from “Mr. Robot,” but here, Charlie isn’t guiding us through techno-anarchist rabbit holes.
…have Malek use his Mr. Robot acting abilities for good measure…
…as if photoshopping the “Mr. Robot” star right into a Langley office and calling it a day…
Malek is a charismatic actor at his best (Mr Robot; Short Term 12), but he’s somewhat ill-fitting here.
