Popular show: Mr. Robot + underrated pick: Taxi Driver

“One of my favorite shows of all time is Mr. Robot. If you miss Rami Malek as Elliot Alderson, the themes focusing on bringing down the 1 percent’s corruption, facing past traumas, accepting the love of others and yourself, facing your demons, and a neo-noir grunge aesthetic — I’d recommend trying out Taxi Driver. It’s a highly underrated series from South Korea. It’s almost like Mr. Robot, but without the extreme horrors and mindfuckery. The series has strong Mr. Robot vibes, and Lee Je-hoon as Kim Do-ki will remind you so much of Elliot. It highlights a lot of topics that are based on IRL cases in South Korea, including bullying, ableism, sexual harassment, medical malpractice, abuse, PTSD, corrupt law, grooming, gaslighting, etc.”
