Mr. Robot
Date/Time:
24/6/2015
Where did you find it?:
Online
What is the purpose?:
As a television series, the purpose of this piece of media is to entertain and keep viewers wanting to return and watch more of the programme. Also, as a byproduct of enjoying it, the writers of the series also want the viewer to refer it to friends and family or online in order to keep the view count rising and raise the profile of the series.
Institution:
Produced by Universal Cable Productions, broadcast on USA Networks.
Target Audience:
Young adults, as the programme is about computer hacking and contains some explicit scenes therefore it would not be for the older demographic as they may not understand or be interested in what is happening and not for children who are too young as their parents may not allow them to watch it.
Your reaction to the Text:
Unfortunately, in an age where land all across the face of the world has been explored and ventured across, there is not much hope for any budding explorers or adventurers as there was as little as 100 years ago. Yet after a long, arduous search and meeting several dead ends or despairing destinations, stumbling upon Mr. Robot will arguably go down as the best discovery I will make.
It seems that the formula for making a popular television show these days is 'include the supernatural', so it is refreshing to see a good old fashioned crime drama not too far off reality. Mr. Robot appealed to the Explorer in me as (mentioned earlier) it was not a fantasy series which is the present day norm. Instead, the programme is about a group of computer hackers attempting to bring down the 'corporation' and, as a result, change the world and bring about a fresh start for everyone. Personally, I find the storyline very interesting and I am absorbed by the well written characters, each of whom are just as intriguing as the next. After seeing the season through, I would definitely say I am a fan and will continue to watch when any future episodes are released all the while recommending it to anyone who gives me five minutes of their time.
Why would people consume the Text?:
People would consume this piece of media because they enjoy it and would return to watch it every week when a new episode came out. Alternatively, people may consume it after a recommendation from a friend or reading a review online or in a newspaper.
Could some people react in different ways to the text?:
Viewers of the programme could really enjoy it and become big fans of the series and continue to support the makers by continuing to watch the episodes and being aware of new releases. On the other hand, people could very well not like it and find it mundane or unappealing to them. This is all personal taste as no piece of media can, or is made to, appeal to every demographic around the world and must face the facts that people are individuals and have their own likes, dislikes and interests which decides what media they consume.
