Rami Malek stars in “Mr. Robot”

We've seen it time and time again. Whenever a character on a television show faces a roadblock regarding technology, all is solved thanks to a flick of the wrist and a few keystrokes in some sort of super-powered software (complete with flashing green text on a black background). This is usually performed by a quirky, fumbling, rambling character who rarely succeeds in explaining what they just did, but just further contributes to their awkwardness.

Sure, television is an imaginative, unrestrictive and creative outlet, but that doesn't mean it needs to be inaccurate. With that being said, it's unfair to only blame shows based on technology. Historical series often bend previous events, and some action scenes -- even explosive in their nature -- seem unrealistic and far-fetched at times.

Sometimes, you just want a show that does something and does it right. You want as much accuracy as possible blended with the fantasy of TV. If you've ever wanted a show to focus on the extreme uses of technology all the while keeping it pretty real, check out a new episode of "Mr. Robot," airing Wednesday, July 8, on USA Network.

"Mr. Robot" is a psychological drama thriller that pits its protagonist, Elliot (Rami Malek, "Need for Speed," 2014), in a not-quite-here, not-quite-there role. By day, he frequents his time working as a cyber-security engineer, a job that he's often bored with. By night, however, Elliot dons the mask of an anonymous vigilante hacker whose personal mission is often to provide social justice and occasionally using his abilities to learn about others to manipulate them towards his needs. He's a lonely, antisocial character in person. Online, he's a tech juggernaut.

"Elliot is this interesting, complicated guy who's full of contradictions," creator and showrunner Sam Esmail said in a "Behind the Scenes" interview series on the show's YouTube channel. "I don't know if he wants to save the world because he cares about people or because he's a narcissist and he's trying to fix something in himself. The fact that I don't know that is what I like about it."

More often than not, in any form of storytelling, a rebellious youth with untapped potential is usually stumbled upon by a mentor figure who has been through similar trials and tribulations themselves, who then takes it upon themselves to guide the adolescent. "Mr. Robot" has done just that, with the portrayal of a character who shares the name of the show, played by Christian Slater ("Archer," "Robin Hood: Price of Thieves, " 1991). Upon his introduction, Mr. Robot oozes mysteriousness and anarchy.

"Christian Slater's character, well, talk about unpredictable," Esmail said. "[He's a] dangerous guy, you can't read him and don't know if he's going to shoot you or hug you. I don't know if he's a good guy or a bad guy, and those are characters that I love."

Carly Chaikin as seen in “Mr. Robot”

Also starring in "Mr. Robot" are Carly Chaikin ("Suburgatory"), who plays a skilled malware creator named Marlene; Portia Doubleday ("Carrie," 2013), who plays Elliot's childhood friend Angela; and Martin Wallström ("Ego," 2013), who plays the senior vice-president of technology at Elliot's day job.

The show revolves around computer programming and hacking. We get it. But what's the main plot? What are these characters discovering, and what is their purpose? The show emits a type of "Fight Club-esque" vibe, in that its main characters often feel that it's the world versus them. As a refresher, "Fight Club" primarily focuses on the battle between the wealthiest in America versus those who are impoverished. "Mr. Robot" is also just that, something of which Slater's character is a firm supporter.

"I think he's just frustrated with corporate greed and what these corporations have been getting away with for so long. He's really reached the end of his rope with that and he's using Elliot and his skills to achieve the goal of equilibrium," said Slater in the same YouTube series.

For those who aren't super tech-savvy, the show may come off as a wild, foreign and unrecognizable beast. While technology and computers are ubiquitous in our everyday lives, not everyone is as versed in their operations and functionality as the show's cast and crew. This shouldn't be taken as a negative -- the show is simply providing realism to a genre that has been continually watered down and under-appreciated. It also aims to provide more information for people that are interested in it.

"Anybody who's concerned about being hacked or wants to know how that happens is going to find this show informative, scary and enlightening at the same time," Malek said in a "Behind the Scenes" interview on the show's YouTube channel.
