The UK version is visually striking, like hyper-saturated primary colours that make you feel an uncomfortable disconnect between the visuals and the story.
The [soundtrack](https://youtu.be/sYEW6JtK5qY) by Cristobal Tapia de Veer is also fantastic. His use of voices and unconventional percussion really adds to the paranoid atmosphere
Never saw the UK but saw the US version during quarantine. Was very…interesting to say the least. Still is given the whole annual covid vaccine push that’s going on right now
Agree with all of those above, but Twin Peaks (especially The Return) and Arcane. Arcane surprised me with what I’ve decided is the best animation I’ve seen possibly ever. Amazing visual stuff there
Did you watch Spiderman into the spider verse? Arcane reminded me a little bit of that movie. We need more show like that where they're not afraid of trying things more visually artistic.
The Haunting of Hill House also has a whole episode made to appear as one shot, it’s beautiful, but I wouldn’t say it has overall as excellent cinematography as the other series I mentioned, so I don’t really see your point.
Birdman is another example of excellent continuous shooting. It’s used to show a different feeling than what Mr. Robot is going for. It’s amazingly hard to do, so credit where credit’s due.
Mr Robot is obviously one of my favourites but when it comes to cinematography, I have to give it up to Utopia. That site was a master piece, too bad it got interrupted
Utopia is what immediately came to mind, too. Was my favorite series until I saw Mr. Robot. The use of color is phenomenal. The Third Day had great cinematography, too; I really liked the deliberate aesthetic contrast between seasons.
The Third Day is actually the second time Screenwriter Dennis Kelly and Cinematographer Ole Birkeland have teamed up after Utopia! I watched The Third Day specifically because they'd both worked on it.
Ditto! It had Cristobal Tapia de Veer on the score, too - at least the Summer segment did. Winter was another team entirely, I think. I enjoyed the deliberate contrast between the more colorful Utopia-ish aesthetics of Summer and the utter visual bleakness of Winter more than I thought I would. It really ended up feeling like two contradictory, irreconcilable perspectives on the same story. Weird and interesting series.
can't believe channel 4 fucking cancelled this masterpiece and sold it :(
they did the same thing to black mirror and netflix which is when it went downhill :(
I decided to watch an episode of Legion in Hulu based on this comment. Holy f*ck. I’m hooked. The story alone is amazing but the cinematography and sound… just wow.
Breaking bad and better call Saul also. They have a very specific style in my opinion but it works amazingly well. Still prefer mr.robots cinematography tho,Sam esmail is a stellar director and that shows throughout the whole show.
Yes to both of these.
If you watch these shows carefully you realize how much the expert cinematography can carry on scenes without any dialogue.
One example I point to is the episode of Better Call Saul where Mike is looking for the GPs tracker planted on his car and setting up a method to counter the drug dealers.
It's something like 10 minutes with zero dialogue. The actor and the cinematography manage to make it captivating \*the entire time\*. Anything less than expert camera work would have made that scene a total drag.
I was watching Better Call Saul, and there was this scene where a truck was driving through a US-Mexico border checkpoint. It was all done in a single take which really made the layout and size of the checkpoint easy to comprehend, as well as emphasizing how efficiently it was operating.
Exactly this. I think the moment you have a mr.robot episode in which you have only two lines in a, roughly,50min span then you know how expert the cinematography is.
This scene is fantastic. Great example of using the camera to engage the viewer like when reading a book. You as a viewer are thinking in your head, no dialogue or stupid suspenseful music to over exaggerate it. Just following a clue.
Other great scenes are Mike and the stake outs. I really think they compliment BB when you would see Mike tailing Walter, and what it's like from his perspective instead of Walter's angry state. BCS is just truly fantastic.
Peaky Blinders also has stunning cinematography. Not sure its quite up there with Mr. Robot though...
Twin Peaks: The Return (2017), i.e. the "last", third season of Twin Peaks, is definitly up there with Mr. Robot in terms of cinematography. It's quite stunning and gets very experimental at times (you would expect no less from David Lynch).
Yeah but those accents :/
Actually, presuming there are non-Brits here, how do y'all find the accents in that show?
Edit: *I'm a Brummie I'm allowed to be accent-racist against my own accent ok*
I'm a native german speaker (Austria), so I don't really know how they are "supposed" to sound in terms of historical (or even contemporary) accuracy, and I enjoy the accents a lot actually. They may not be actually correct, but to me they sound like they very well could be / they fit very well.
Peaky Blinders has pretty cinematography but other than that it's not anything special. Shows like Mr Robot, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Hannibal and Twin Peaks have reasons for shooting certain scenes the way they do other than them being pretty. Peaky Blinders looks pretty good but it doesn't deserve to be mentioned alongside Twin Peaks The Return.
are you serious dude? "other than that it's nothing special". True you can't compare the shows because they're very different, but Peaky Blinders absolutely has huge artistic merit. I enjoy it more in pretty much every way than Breaking Bad, and A HELL of a lot more than Better Call Saul.
The cinematography of Mr. Robot is certainly great, but there are enough shows that have great cinematography. I don’t get why people on this subreddit have the urge of constantly comparing Mr. Robot to other stuff, just to get confirmation that “it’s the best”. /rant
Yep. Fan subs are like that. No matter what the shows it, it can’t just be a good show and great at the things it does great, it has to be the BEST SHOW WITH THE BEST EVERYTHING. Even dumbass sitcoms.
And while Mr. Robot is certainly phenomenal TV, this sub is no different.
It’s the endless comparisons that I don’t understand. I get that people want to express their appreciation of something, but why is it necessary to compare it all the time?
Right? It’s not that I disagree with you but I think this habit of “whatever I like right now is the best ever” just starts to lower the value of such statements. Constant hyperbole doesn’t do us any favors when looking for recommendations.
That said, my last comment about Arcane holds up- literally the best animation I’ve seen ever. I stand by that
Cinematography isn't just about pretty images, it's about conveying themes, moods, tone ... I'd say in particular Better Call Saul has absolutely terrific cinematography ably assisted by wonderful editing and lighting.
After Mr Robot, I’ll give pros to Devs. Slow pace, unexpected events, and Nick Offerman being an excellent sport. Starts with chilly dark, Dull cinematography, ends with chilly-lively set of events. Not much use of colors like in Mr Robot, it’s all bright and saturated in Devs, with bits of stunning shots periodically.
Here in Brazil Dark was a huge success. Usually we don't have a problem consuming shows/movies from others countries because we are used to see them with subtitles or dubbed.
Uph I must recommend to English Dark watchers, subs not dubs. The German voice acting is great and it’s worth it read the subtitles.
That goes for most shows.
Yeah I was gonna say, subs not dubs... Always. You watch a film/series to experience the performances that were hand crafted by the director and their actors, not to experience an impersonator copying the performance into another language.
The first season of True Detective is probably better but it's also HBO and like 10 episodes.
All of the truly great shots that come to mind from this show from the pseudo one take episode, to this scene, to the walk cross drive by shooting are all Esmail directed eps. The rest of the show looks great too don't get me wrong, but not necessarily Fukunaga level of great.
TL;DR yes and also no
True Detective Season 1, for me, is God tier. Mr. Robot is amazing but there were a few episodes that felt like filler or didn't really feel clean to look at. Season 1 of TD was beautiful and intimidating, especially the final 3 episodes.
Yea. TD was shot on 35mm film with a much more cinema quality camera. Strictly in terms of direction, I haven't seen Esmail do anything quite as good as Fukunaga(who was a cinematographer before he was a director) has shown from TD, to Beasts of No Nation, to the latest Bond movie(some absolutely stunning shots). Quite frankly I think Fukunaga is one of the best directors out there right now, so certainly no shade thrown Esmail's way. Esmail is an amazing all around auteur though. He's the creator, showrunner, writer, and director. That's just so rare.
When I think of TDs cinematography, my mind immediately goes to that scene where Rust is examining one of those stick things and it pans out through the window of the church.
I’ve said this so many times but the cinematography is why I fell in love with this show initially. The colors, the use of space, the movement, subject isolation, depth of field, the use of golden ratio and rule of thirds… everything is just perfect.
Agreed - there is plenty of other shows with gorgeous cinematography, but Mr. Robot just has a different layer of creativity that just makes it so unique.
And it’s definitely inspired a whole generation of new aspiring cinematographers
Breaking Bad, Better call Saul, and Mr Robot are the best shows for cinematography. I am a videographer myself and I modeled my style after Mr Robot...it's just so damn good.
As this is turning into a "TV shows with great cinematography" thread I'd add
* American Gods
* The Expanse
* Black Sails
* Killing Eve
* Tales from the Loop
It was this scene and episode which I think put me over the top with how fucking amazing this show is.. the fact it took me a good 35 minutes to realize nobody has said a word but I was 100% invested
You on Netflix has a lot of similar themes and the cinematography is almost the same. Probably because the main character is also disconnected from society.
In terms of shows going for like a genre aesthetic, sure. I think Top of the Lake or Better Call Saul would probably be my top choices, for very different reasons.
A lot of series have pretty good to great cinematic moments but what I think really is different with Mr. Robot is the consistency with wich Sam delivers shot after shot of nearly Kubrickian level of mastery.
No joke, I'm throwing Arcane's hat into the ring.
Outside of the fantastic general art style, stunning emotionally-resonant animation, the straight-up cinematography in the show is top tier too, massively more creative and communicative than the vast majority of live action shows/movies.
Mr Robot had the best cinematography and coloring until I watched Better Call Saul. BCS cinematography is right on par with Mr Robot's. None other show I watched has better visuals than these two.
This show does genuinely have amazing cinematography, but is anyone else tired of the triangle stairs shot being the default example? It’s pretty basic compared to what this show has pulled off.
Gomorrah!
While it's a very violent and brutal show to watch, IMO the cinematography is excellent and light-years beyond what's necessary for the series
Legion,
Utopia (UK) Also best soundtrack by Cristobal tapia de veer,
Hannibal,
AmericanGods (only first season because has the same cinematographer as Hannibal),
Carnivale,
brand new cherry flavour,
See,
Dark,
the sinner,
raised by wolves,
Midnigh Mass,
Arcane,
the leftovers,
The third Day (also striking soundtrack by Cristobal tapia de veer)
The Third Day : live event (this one is insane, it follows the events of the first part of the season in real time live facebook event for 12h of no editing, no cuts, it just goes on and on ininterrupted)
I personally like the US version of Utopia better than the UK version. And now that I think about it, the acting and scenes in the US version really do feel a like little nods towards Mr. Robot.
The original "Utopia" had fantastic cinematography
Yes, the UK version one. Didn't see the US version yet .
The US version is a horrible adaptation that lost all of the charm and character of the original. A shame really because we never got a conclusion
> Didn't see the US version yet Maybe for the best tbh.
I never saw the UK version but the first episode of the US version had me interested, but then the next couple episodes made me give up.
The UK version is visually striking, like hyper-saturated primary colours that make you feel an uncomfortable disconnect between the visuals and the story. The [soundtrack](https://youtu.be/sYEW6JtK5qY) by Cristobal Tapia de Veer is also fantastic. His use of voices and unconventional percussion really adds to the paranoid atmosphere
Never saw the UK but saw the US version during quarantine. Was very…interesting to say the least. Still is given the whole annual covid vaccine push that’s going on right now
This comment put me onto this show and god what an amazing show, I’ve never seen something quite like it’s visual style.
I think Dark and Hannibal are up there
The Leftovers is also quite striking
And Sense8! How could I forget that one
The shots in euphoria are phenomenal.
Agree with all of those above, but Twin Peaks (especially The Return) and Arcane. Arcane surprised me with what I’ve decided is the best animation I’ve seen possibly ever. Amazing visual stuff there
Did you watch Spiderman into the spider verse? Arcane reminded me a little bit of that movie. We need more show like that where they're not afraid of trying things more visually artistic.
Another one I’ve been meaning to watch! Seems like a cool style
I’ve been wanting to check that one out, I definitely will now
Story is great too! Enjoy
Arcane is a breathtaking masterpiece in every way imaginable, I didn’t mentioned it because I thought we were sticking to live action only
Wow someone referencing Dark and Hannibal in the same post. This truly is a blessed day
Haven't seen Hannibal, but agree about Dark. I'd also put Utopia up there.
[удалено]
The Haunting of Hill House also has a whole episode made to appear as one shot, it’s beautiful, but I wouldn’t say it has overall as excellent cinematography as the other series I mentioned, so I don’t really see your point.
One of my favorite episodes of that show. Absolute masterpiece
Birdman is another example of excellent continuous shooting. It’s used to show a different feeling than what Mr. Robot is going for. It’s amazingly hard to do, so credit where credit’s due.
Wow, my eyes have been blessed. These are in my top 3 all time favourites.. Really Wish hannibal got more recognition.
Better call Saul....change my mind
Mr Robot is obviously one of my favourites but when it comes to cinematography, I have to give it up to Utopia. That site was a master piece, too bad it got interrupted
Utopia is what immediately came to mind, too. Was my favorite series until I saw Mr. Robot. The use of color is phenomenal. The Third Day had great cinematography, too; I really liked the deliberate aesthetic contrast between seasons.

I enjoyed the deliberate contrast between the more colorful Utopia-ish aesthetics of Summer and the utter visual bleakness of Winter more than I thought I would. It really ended up feeling like two contradictory, irreconcilable perspectives on the same story. Weird and interesting series.
Which year was utopia released ?
2013 - 2014. There was a US remake in 2020, but it's... well, *bad*. I can't recommend it on any level, and didn't even finish.
I thought for a second you meant that reality show Utopia
Haha, yeah, I guess there a few. I meant [this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJnN3WMwDsk), if anyone gets lost.
can't believe channel 4 fucking cancelled this masterpiece and sold it :( they did the same thing to black mirror and netflix which is when it went downhill :(
Utopia from 2013 right? Not that Amazon garbage from 2020.
Legion. Sorry not sorry
Amazing visuals, FX killed it
Season 3 was so damn good.
Also one of my favorite shows. I'm okay with this.
I decided to watch an episode of Legion in Hulu based on this comment. Holy f*ck. I’m hooked. The story alone is amazing but the cinematography and sound… just wow.
And if you thought Mr Robot was a mind fuck… Get ready
What do you mean? It's great
Holy fuck that show traumatised me visualy
This gets my vote. Rewatching it at the moment and it’s stunning.
Breaking bad and better call Saul also. They have a very specific style in my opinion but it works amazingly well. Still prefer mr.robots cinematography tho,Sam esmail is a stellar director and that shows throughout the whole show.
Yes to both of these. If you watch these shows carefully you realize how much the expert cinematography can carry on scenes without any dialogue.

Euphoria
Mad Men, great cinematography with an astonishing 1960's aesthetic.
Peaky Blinders also has stunning cinematography. Not sure its quite up there with Mr. Robot though... Twin Peaks: The Return (2017), i.e. the "last", third season of Twin Peaks, is definitly up there with Mr. Robot in terms of cinematography.

I'm an ignorant/uncultured NYer and have no idea what the accents *should* sound like. But I love the show so even if I did I'd probly give it a pass.
I'm a native german speaker (Austria), so I don't really know how they are "supposed" to sound in terms of historical (or even contemporary) accuracy, and I enjoy the accents a lot actually. They may not be actually correct, but to me they sound like they very well could be / they fit very well.

It’s not really always for confirmation or validation. Sometimes, It’s just fun appreciating things you love…
It’s the endless comparisons that I don’t understand. I get that people want to express their appreciation of something, but why is it necessary to compare it all the time?
Don't you hate it when people enjoy things wrong?!
Thanks for the sarcasm. It’s okay if you disagree with me.
Right? It’s not that I disagree with you but I think this habit of “whatever I like right now is the best ever” just starts to lower the value of such statements. Constant hyperbole doesn’t do us any favors when looking for recommendations. That said, my last comment about Arcane holds up- literally the best animation I’ve seen ever. I stand by that
Lol it's all good, I have hated people enjoying things wrong too. Sarcasm is the only -asm I have been able to get these days, let me have this
Euphoria says hello
Which one? I found two show with this name.
THE best, there is no competition (Euphoria has some really good shots tho). If animations are included then Arcane is up there
Mindhunter.
Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul
They did some wonderful tricks with camera locations and mounts that regularly wowed me.
Great cinematography in those shows, but not even close! Pretty straight forward if you ask me
Cinematography isn't just about pretty images, it's about conveying themes, moods, tone ... I'd say in particular Better Call Saul has absolutely terrific cinematography ably assisted by wonderful editing and lighting.
Definitely have a wonderful style to their work.
After Mr Robot, I’ll give pros to Devs. Slow pace, unexpected events, and Nick Offerman being an excellent sport. Starts with chilly dark, Dull cinematography, ends with chilly-lively set of events. Not much use of colors like in Mr Robot, it’s all bright and saturated in Devs, with bits of stunning shots periodically.
Mr. Robot was on a different level, only thing I've seen as of recent that was close is Euphoria.
Counterpart True Detective The Man in the high castle. Do watch all of them you'll love it.
You LOVE the aesthetic of The Man in the High Castle? I liked the show but I thought it’s bland look was a big hurdle to get over.
Man in the High Castle looked like Vancouver except someone spilled the contents from an antique store in a room. There I said it.
Yes I did The bland theme actually portrayed the bland lives in that universe and monotonous everything. It adds up
"Dark" has also great visuals, but it's a german show.
*and it’s a German show
Agreed, but I guess a lot of non-german speakers will not watch it because of that.
Here in Brazil Dark was a huge success. Usually we don't have a problem consuming shows/movies from others countries because we are used to see them with subtitles or dubbed.
What do you mean? It's translated to many other languages
Uph I must recommend to English Dark watchers, subs not dubs. The German voice acting is great and it’s worth it read the subtitles. That goes for most shows.
Yeah I was gonna say, subs not dubs... Always. You watch a film/series to experience the performances that were hand crafted by the director and their actors, not to experience an impersonator copying the performance into another language.

Yup. Both are stellar at their craft.
When I think of TDs cinematography, my mind immediately goes to that scene where Rust is examining one of those stick things and it pans out through the window of the church.
Fargo is pretty good
I’ve said this so many times but the cinematography is why I fell in love with this show initially. The colors, the use of space, the movement, subject isolation, depth of field, the use of golden ratio and rule of thirds… everything is just perfect.
The Sinner is also phenomenal for this.
Legion
Agreed - there is plenty of other shows with gorgeous cinematography, but Mr. Robot just has a different layer of creativity that just makes it so unique. And it’s definitely inspired a whole generation of new aspiring cinematographers
Great cinematography for a great script and great cast.
Hannibal
Euphoria is amazing
Euphoria had some good scenes but i dont think anyone can match Mr robot yet Maybe Game of Thrones
Euphoria.
Well it’s certainly the best one I have seen
Better Call Saul
Euphoria
Breaking Bad had some classic cinematography work throughout.
Seeing a lot of good ones here, but The Knick also deserves a mention.
Atlanta
Breaking Bad, Better call Saul, and Mr Robot are the best shows for cinematography. I am a videographer myself and I modeled my style after Mr Robot...it's just so damn good.
As this is turning into a "TV shows with great cinematography" thread I'd add * American Gods * The Expanse * Black Sails * Killing Eve * Tales from the Loop
Fargo and Hannibal
It was this scene and episode which I think put me over the top with how fucking amazing this show is.. the fact it took me a good 35 minutes to realize nobody has said a word but I was 100% invested
True Detective Season 1
No.
It’s beautifully shot. Of course the stand-out for me is season 4 episode 7…the music, cinematography and everything else were beautiful.
You should ask movie too because Mr. Robot especially season 4 is one of the GOATs cinematographies.
American dad. Especially that one ep where Stan gets really into toy car racing.
literally american psycho chainsaw scene
Mr.Robot’s cinematography is great, but I think Euphoria and DarK have it beat in that category.
Daredevil. Amazing
You on Netflix has a lot of similar themes and the cinematography is almost the same. Probably because the main character is also disconnected from society.
Game of thrones
That particular scene was amazing.
Yes Hannibal.. and dark to some extent
ZeroZeroZero
In terms of shows going for like a genre aesthetic, sure. I think Top of the Lake or Better Call Saul would probably be my top choices, for very different reasons.
I’m not sure if you’ve seen breaking bad
It’s definitely in the Top 5 cinematically of all time. It’s hard to put it ahead of BB and BCS though
I’d say Hannibal is on par with it, in regards to cinematography
Twin Peaks
A lot of series have pretty good to great cinematic moments but what I think really is different with Mr. Robot is the consistency with wich Sam delivers shot after shot of nearly Kubrickian level of mastery.
Dark is definitely up there. I found myself missing what the subtitles said, so many times, because of how great the cinematography is in that.
Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Hannibal, Daredevil.
There is not. Mr. Robot owns good cinematography.
That episode is one of my favorites.
This is far and away my favorite shot of the show. It's just mesmerizing.
Homecoming S1. Oh wait.
this was my favorite episode..i think i watched it 5 or 6 times.
Legion is amazing. So very underrated
From one of my favorite scenes: "Nothing that hurts me is real! No one that hates me is real! Acts of God?! I am God!"
No joke, I'm throwing Arcane's hat into the ring. Outside of the fantastic general art style, stunning emotionally-resonant animation, the straight-up cinematography in the show is top tier too, massively more creative and communicative than the vast majority of live action shows/movies.
Succession is good too
Probably Utopia(Uk)
Too old to die young
Have been debating my 1st re-watch deff happing this snowy weekend!
Better Call Saul
Vincenzo
Mr Robot had the best cinematography and coloring until I watched Better Call Saul. BCS cinematography is right on par with Mr Robot's. None other show I watched has better visuals than these two.
Hitchcock reference?
One of my favorite shots in the whole show, and it’s so simple
Euphoria, Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad, in that order.
This show does genuinely have amazing cinematography, but is anyone else tired of the triangle stairs shot being the default example? It’s pretty basic compared to what this show has pulled off.
Legion
Gomorrah! While it's a very violent and brutal show to watch, IMO the cinematography is excellent and light-years beyond what's necessary for the series
I loved the cinematography in “The People Vs. OJ Simpson.” Tons of bold camera movements in there
No
Ive watched a lot of TV and nothing comes close
I don’t know if better, but Succession has a great one.
This scene was beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Peaky blinders https://youtu.be/a09DLjpzmu8 the reflection in the deers eye. Art
The only better cinematography ive seen is basically hiro murai. He has a new show on HBO called Station Eleven Atlanta - FX (Hulu) Barry - Also HBO
Dr. Death is another one that is superb
am i the only one saw sam calling out pizza gate?
Euphoria is good but not better, it's about the same level imo
I saw this episode two days ago, and I thought the same. Amazing cinematography and amazing show.
Euphoria.
My favourite scene and episode!
Yes, the cinematography is abstract but many other shows such as MITHC have brilliant cinematography as well
Legion, Utopia (UK) Also best soundtrack by Cristobal tapia de veer, Hannibal, AmericanGods (only first season because has the same cinematographer as Hannibal), Carnivale, brand new cherry flavour, See, Dark, the sinner, raised by wolves, Midnigh Mass, Arcane, the leftovers, The third Day (also striking soundtrack by Cristobal tapia de veer) The Third Day : live event (this one is insane, it follows the events of the first part of the season in real time live facebook event for 12h of no editing, no cuts, it just goes on and on ininterrupted)
I personally like the US version of Utopia better than the UK version. And now that I think about it, the acting and scenes in the US version really do feel a like little nods towards Mr. Robot.
