NBC Universal held its series of Television Critics Association panels Wednesday. Naturally, USA Network’s Emmy-nominated “Mr. Robot” received attention.
That attention was not, however, on male leads Rami Malek and Christian Slater. The critically acclaimed series was instead represented by its female stars Portia Doubleday, Carly Chaikin, Grace Gummer, and Stephanie Corneliussen.
The actresses spoke about the show hours prior to Wednesday’s episode.
