Commentary: Mr. Robot, although not explicitly focused on social justice issues, does contain a broader critique of capitalism and societal power structures, hence the wokeness score. The main character, Elliot, is a socially awkward and brilliant hacker dealing with issues surrounding identity, mental health, and societal disconnection. It has a few strong and complex female characters, accounting for the feminism score of 2.0, but is centrally driven by its male protagonist. As for its chickflick score, this show leans heavily into thriller territory and cybercrime, rather than romantic storylines, leading to a low score in this category.
