BINGE THIS:
As of Thursday, July 13, you can watch both seasons of “Mr. Robot” on Amazon Prime. The gritty cybermystery series has won two Golden Globes and two Emmys so far, and it shows no signs of slowing down — season 2 is just as intriguing as the first, and the squirrely-but-cute protagonist keeps you coming back for more. The enigmatic Rami Malek (“The Pacific”) stars as Elliot Alderson, a hacker of unparalleled skill who struggles with a number of psychological disorders, and his daily battle to discern what’s real and what’s not is a compelling story in itself. The show’s scope is much more grand than that, however, as it tracks the fallout of Elliot’s actions and the actions he inspires in others. Christian Slater (“True Romance,” 1993), Portia Doubleday (“Mr. Sunshine”), Carly Chaikin (“Suburgatory”) and Grace Gummer (“The Newsroom”) make up the main supporting cast, and more great talent has signed on for season 3, including Bobby Cannavale (“Boardwalk Empire”). Get caught up with the first two seasons of “Mr. Robot” before the third premieres in October. You can watch it all on Amazon Prime.
If you’re a “Heroes” fan still going through withdrawal, your ship has just come in. Crackle presents, for your bingeing pleasure, all four original seasons of the show, as well as the recent reboot of sorts, “Heroes Reborn.” If you’re unfamiliar with the series, now is a great time to jump in. The show stars Hayden Panettiere (“Nashville”), Masi Oka (“Hawaii Five-0”), Milo Ventimiglia (“This Is Us”) and more as regular people who suddenly find they have extraordinary powers. As they race to stamp out the evil forces that threaten their loved ones and the general population, the heroes find it difficult to know who to trust in their ever-changing world.
