Now, I'm not just saying this because this summer's TV offerings have been a snooze-fest (which they have), but the oddly named Mr. Robot on the USA network has taken TV lovers by storm, and if you haven't watched it yet? GET ON IT. Tonight is the first season finale of Mr. Robot (10 p.m.)—which is about a young hacker who decides to help take down the country's biggest money-grubbing corporation.

Obviously this show has a lot going against it: It's on the USA network (home of many a cheesy series), it's about hacking (which TV has NEVER done well), it costars show killer Christian Slater (uh-oh), and it's named Mr. Robot (which is all kinds of dumb, and I shouldn't even have to say it). HOWEVER! As it turns out, USA has found a winner with this show, which is one of the most gorgeous, visually interesting series on television. (Check out the way each shot is framed. Historically most shots feature the person who's talking placed on the far side of the frame—Mr. Robot often reverses it, or adds a lot of extra head room, to a cool and claustrophobic effect.)

For me, this series is the best show about technology since the much beloved Black Mirror. Because while it may center around the world of hacking, the writers have taken great pains to get their technology right—and Elliot, the main character and hacker, isn't exactly an Edward Snowden-style hero. I won't spoil the many reveals that this series has offered, but I will say the writing and plotting are terrific, and there is so much more to this show than meets the eye. AND YES! As it turns out, Christian Slater is actually very good, and there's even a logical reason why a show this great is called Mr. Robot.

Creator Sam Esmail talked to Co.Create about how he developed some of the striking visual aspects of the show, including the opening title card. (Font geeks, prick up your ears!)

"The typeface was the one ingredient about the opening titles that we kept as our flag of consistency. Fonts are something I obsess about constantly. People might find that silly, but for me, everything in a film should be deliberate and designed. This was also something that was going to serve as our signature for the overall series, not just an episode. I must have looked at hundreds of fonts before settling on our current one. I've always likened our genre to the paranoid thrillers of the '70s and '90s, and this title card checked that box for me perfectly."
