<i>Mr. Robot</i> – "Pilot” Spoiler Free Advanced Review. 01001101. 1

Last March while at SXSW, USA Network conducted a major PR stunt by taking over downtown Austin, TX with hooded guys walking around promoting its new series Mr. Robot. The campaign topped off with a screening of the pilot followed by a Q &A with the cast. At that time, the premiere date had not yet been set.

In talking with the cast and creators/producers, the conversations were interesting, especially the interview with Rhona Mitra and John Pyper-Ferguson.

Penny Dreadful goes beyond being a dark drama; it transcends this genre, blending it with a supernatural force compelling you to tune in each week to discover what happens to our intrepid troupe of adventurers.
