History Trivia / MrRobot

* StarMakingRole: Rami Malek had spent at least a decade doing mostly supporting roles in movies and TV, but playing Elliot Alderson was what established him as a major actor in both realms of entertainment.

* IKnewIt:
** The fact that Mr. Robot is a [[spoiler: Tyler Durdenesque hallucination/split personality of Elliot's. Some fans managed to guess the twist as far back as the first few episodes due to the fact that Mr. Robot initially doesn't interact with anybody but Elliot. The show even attempts to throw the audience off the scent by having Mr. Robot engage in a few conversations with other characters in the middle episodes of the first season, only for the ninth episode to confirm that the character is in fact a hallucination and that when he interacts with other people, it's Elliot doing so.]]
** The reveal in Season 2 that Elliot is [[spoiler: actually in prison and not staying with his mother as previously established was also predicted by fans. Many of the clues included the highly regimented nature of his day, as well as him watching basketball games (when his character has never shown an interest in sports) and Leon having just discovered ''Seinfeld'', among other things.]]
** Quite some fans predicted that Elliot [[spoiler:we have followed all this time is another personality ala Mr. Robot, due to Angela's specific wording in the fourth episode, Mr. Robot going out of his way to harm him in Seasons 2 and 3 despite being a protector personality all this time, and most tellingly, Mr Robot and his other personalities never mentioning Elliot's antics and the hack by his name.]]
