'Mr. Robot' is now on Netflix — and this flawless techno-thriller has only gotten better with time

Whether you missed the hype the first time around or you're looking to jump once more down the rabbit hole of "Mr. Robot's" many mysteries, Rami Malek's hit hacker thriller series just landed on Netflix. And already viewers can't seem to get enough. All four seasons of USA Network's Emmy-winning "Mr. Robot" arrived on Netflix on July 3, and the techno-thriller is already sitting pretty in the #5 spot on Netflix's top 10 shows. It's hardly a surprise that fans would be eager to revisit the series; "Mr. Robot's" anti-capitalist portrayal of withstanding the yoke of tech-driven corporate control feels as relevant today as when it premiered 10 years ago. Before diving in (or should we say hacking in?) to the show, here's everything you need to know about "Mr. Robot" on Netflix — and why it deserves to be your next binge-watch. "Mr. Robot" follows Elliot Alderson (Malek), a brilliant but troubled cybersecurity engineer in New York City. While working for the megacorporation Allsafe Cybersecurity, he's recruited by an anarchist known as "Mr. Robot" (Christian Slater) to join a society of hacktivists. Their radical mission includes wiping out global consumer debt by encrypting the data of one of the world's largest corporations, which is also Allsafe's biggest client. Caught between his day job as a tech worker and his new secret mission to destroy the very system he serves, Elliot walks a dangerous tightrope. All the while, he also grapples with severe mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, and dissociative identity disorder. His fractured sense of reality often fuels his hacking abilities, giving him a unique edge, but at the cost of serious problems in his personal life — many of which he doesn't fully understand or even recognize. Beneath that premise, however, lies a gripping psychological thriller that explores the isolation of a hyper-connected digital age as well as the perils of unchecked consumerism and capitalism. The show blends the high-stakes tension of an espionage thriller with the unsettling paranoia of a psychological drama. It doesn't just make computer hacking exciting to watch (and with an impressive level of technical accuracy, I might add), but demonstrates how it can be a catalyst for revolution. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. All four seasons of "Mr. Robot" landed on Netflix on July 3. The show was a sensation when it first premiered back in 2015. "Mr. Robot" wrapped up in 2019, before the rise of TikTok and transition to AI-powered everything sparked by ChatGPT and the like. Technology has only become further entrenched in our lives since then, likely why viewers are eager to watch Elliot and his fellow hackers turn the very tools of corporate control against their creators. Its message is just as resonant today as it was when season 4 wrapped. I'm far from the only one raving about USA Network's hit show. The first season received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Drama Series, and Malek won Outstanding Lead Actor for his breakout performance. Every season of "Mr. Robot" earned a 90% critics' score or higher on Rotten Tomatoes, and the series finale is a particular high point with the second-highest rating of the bunch (96%, just shy of the first season's 98%). The Guardian's Richard Vine described "Mr. Robot" as "perfect binge-watch material: turn it on and on again." The Rotten Tomatoes critics consensus for season 1 reads: "'Mr. Robot' is a suspenseful cyber-thriller with timely stories and an intriguing, provocative premise." With the show's recent arrival on Netflix, longtime fans who watched "Mr. Robot" during its original run on USA Network can now revisit it a decade later, while newcomers finally have a chance to discover why it's earned such a devoted cult following. Stream "Mr. Robot" on Netflix now.

Man goes viral on TikTok for claiming his home rental guests demanded ‘weight accessible' accommodations

A man on TikTok has gone viral for claiming that he received a two-star review by guests online because his rental home was deemed not 'weight accessible.' In a video that garnered over 20,000 likes and hundreds of comments, the host shared the grievances his guests supposedly communicated to him after their stay. 'I guess they were on the larger side and my house didn't perfectly accommodate their size,' said the host. He claimed the guests said they couldn't fit through the doorway, after which the host commented, 'I have standard door frames.' He also said the guests alleged that 'some of the furniture seemed shaky at best, and we felt scared we were going to break it.' 'And then they were like, 'I noticed your egg chair on your deck had a weight limit of 330 pounds on it.' That's the manufacturer that puts that [there], not me, and that's for one person,' the host added. 'Then they were like, 'Unfortunately, none of us could use that.'' 4 A man on TikTok has gone viral for claiming that he received a two-star review by guests online because his rental home was deemed not 'weight accessible.' @crazybnbstories / TikTok The TikToker host claimed the Airbnb guests said his bed was super soft and they felt like they were going to cave into the middle when they were both on it. 'I might say this house isn't a good fit for you,' the host added in response, in part. The host concluded that it was 'not a learning lesson' for him — but 'hopefully [it was] just for them.' 4 'I guess they were on the larger side and my house didn't perfectly accommodate their size,' the man said in the video. @crazybnbstories / TikTok Fox News Digital reached out to the TikToker and Airbnb for comment. The website of Airbnb lists various accessibility features that hosts can add to their listings. Some related features potentially pertaining to guests who are of a larger size could be the width of the home. @crazybnbstories Just there feeling, my home is open and accessible to everyone ♬ original sound – crazybnbstories The phrases 'guest entrance wider than 32 inches' and 'room entrance wider than 32 inches' are both listed. TikTokers took to the comments section to share their opinions on the matter. 'As a plus-sized person, I cannot imagine being this entitled,' wrote one woman. 'It's no one's job but mine to make sure it's somewhere I'll be comfortable.' 4 The host claimed the guests said they couldn't fit through the doorway, after which the host commented, 'I have standard door frames.' kaew6566 – A user asked, 'If they couldn't fit through the door frame, how'd they know about the rest of the things?' 'Thank you for handling this with professionalism. Unfortunately, entitlement comes in all sizes,' said one woman. Another user wrote, 'I'm plus size. This level of entitlement is crazy. I always check weight limits.' Still another wrote, 'I read the low reviews for this reason. Sometimes the issues do not apply to me.' 4 'I might say this house isn't a good fit for you,' the host added in response, in part. Connect Images – A different TikToker wrote, 'I think you should have very sturdy furniture if you're going to [do] this. I think hotels use that kind of furniture.' Airbnb began in 2007 'when two hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 5 million hosts who have welcomed over 2 billion guest arrivals in almost every country across the globe,' the company notes on its website. 'Every day, hosts offer unique stays, experiences and services that make it possible for guests to connect with communities in a more authentic way.'

Heartbreaking Reason Woman Has Kept Homemade Sauce in Fridge for 4 Years

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A woman explaining why she has saved a homemade sauce for four years has gone viral on TikTok, gathering 2.5 million views. Hanna Kim (@becominghanna) shared a video of herself holding an almost empty jar of gochujang—a Korean condiment—on June 28. She explained, "this is what grief looks like." During the clip, Kim, 36, explained it was the last batch her mom Kyung, 72, made before she passed away and added that she has no plans to consume it but will continue to smell it every once in a while. Kim, who lives in Maryland, told Newsweek: "I initially kept the jar from her fridge because I knew gochujang isn't something that spoils quickly and she had made it recently. But I became more protective of it when I remembered how proud she was the day she told me she'd made it." Two screenshots from the viral video showing Kim holding the almost empty jar of sauce. Two screenshots from the viral video showing Kim holding the almost empty jar of sauce. TikTok/@becominghanna Approximately 30.8 percent of people in the United States have lost their biological mother, according to the United States Census Bureau. Slightly more (39.8%) have lost their biological father. When Kyung passed away on April 19, 2021, from lung disease and heart failure, Kim "regretfully" gave away and donated many of her belongings. Kim recalled: "lung disease had left my mom feeling so weak by then that even simple tasks like cooking were major accomplishments. "My husband and I used the gochujang for a while, but last year I realized I was reaching the bottom of the jar. I couldn't bring myself to finish it. It felt like the last meal my mom ever made for me." During the clip, Kim jokes "will I fight anyone that tries to throw it away? Yes." She told Newsweek: "I moved into my current home after my mom passed so seeing the jar in the fridge is a way of bringing my mom with me. "Over time, it's come to represent more than just something she made, it feels like a symbol of her love and strength. It reminds me of her unconditional care, how even when it was hard for her to take care of herself, she still wanted to feed and nurture me. It feels like her way of loving me one last time." Kim and her mom smiling for the camera, both wearing pink items of clothing. Kim and her mom smiling for the camera, both wearing pink items of clothing. Hanna Kim Kim describes her mom as "beautiful and strong," she said: "Life dealt her more than her fair share of challenges, but she still moved through the world with grace and gratitude. "She taught me to lead with kindness and love, even when life felt impossibly hard. I wish more people knew just how loving and generous she was. "Her absence is a loss not just for me, but for everyone who never got the chance to know her." Kim's video has resonated widely, racking up over 456,000 likes. "I think your grief is beautiful," said one comment with more than 25,000 likes. Other users have shared their stories. One said: "I have one perfectly folded t-shirt left that my mom folded for me. It's been sitting in my closet untouched for a decade." "My mom rolled her hair with rollers every night of her adult life until cancer took her. I still have them in a little cloth bag, and sometimes I open it [because] they still smell like her hair," said another.
