The Music of Mr. Robot Season 2.0
After resisting the television show Mr Robot on USA Network, I gave in and watched the first season. It was pretty good, it did remind me of plot from Fight Club… and despite figuring out the “twist” midway into the first season, it was still quite enjoyable.
I recently picked up Season 2 on Bluray, mostly because I had extra cash from the holidays and really wanted to get that Mr Robot patch, exclusive on Best Buy editions.
If you love the show, you might want to check out the original orchestral soundtrack by Mac Quayle.
Anyway, while I’m waiting for Season 3, I have started watching Season 2 again… this time with all the spoiler knowledge, and paid more attention to the music in the show. I knew most of the popular songs they used on Mr Robot, but there were a few (like that Japanese trashcore band Bleach) that I didn’t know, and, of course, none of the music were actually credit in the TV show!
