Mr. Robot is must-watch again. ... Mostly it's just a welcome relief to tune into Mr. Robot and have it take off immediately in creative, smart and adrenaline-fueling directions. The writing and plotting is spot-on, the directing brilliant and once again Malek proves, in almost every scene, how utterly essential he is to everything working.
Amazing from start to finish — what a journey. Season 3 is an absolute masterpiece. I think Season 2 threw some people off, but if you stick with it until the end, you'll be rewarded with one of the most personal and moving stories you'll ever see on TV
Just finished the last episode with tears in my eyes ... and all I can say is that I love it. The story was mindblowing in my opinion and the way Rami Malek has been acting... Thanks to all the crew , all the actors and Sam Esmail for doing such a great job by creating this masterpiece. God bless y'all One of the best TV show I have ever watched.
The two-hour Season 2 premiere, airing Wednesday night, is as stylish and well-performed as any in Season 1, but it is also confusing, burdened by the series’ dense backstory and intricate, time-skipping structure. The new season will surely rev up: Malek’s performance remains excellent.
For all its cynicism about the elites who run the finances of the country, Mr. Robot is almost genially high-spirited: It excites you to keep following Elliot, Mr. Robot, and their improbable plan of revenge.
The show is vastly more interesting when it shows the dystopian consequences of Elliot’s actions than when it tries to litigate what, precisely, is happening between his ears.
**Positives:**-
**Tech-Savvy Brilliance**: Look, if you're tired of Hollywood's half-baked idea of what hacking is—remember "Swordfish"?—then "Mr. Robot" is your antidote. The tech lingo here isn't just techno-babble; it's the real deal. -
**A Mind-Bender**: Elliott's psychological twists turn this series into a labyrinth of the mind. You're never quite sure what's reality and what's the figment of someone's mental escapade. Intriguing, yes, but they may have milked that cow dry.-
**The First Twist**: Season 1 ends with a reveal about Elliott's father that could make M. Night Shyamalan take notes. Season 2 tried to ride those coattails, but the magic was a one-time deal.
**Negatives:**-
**Narrative Misfires**: Season 2, what happened? The illusion plot seemed like a detour on a road that was already winding. Was the deep dive into Elliott's psyche worth the scenic route? Debatable.-
**The X-Files Syndrome**: Just like Mulder and Scully, "Mr. Robot" has me searching for the truth. After the 5/9 hack, my appetite was whet for answers, but instead, I got breadcrumbs. The elusive truth seems to be locked in a vault somewhere.-
**The Preachy Bits**: Listen, I didn't sign up for a sermon. When the show gets on its soapbox, it feels like Hollywood is trying to give me homework. Thanks, but no thanks.-
**Perspectival Chaos**: Are we seeing what Elliott sees? Because if so, the guy's a master illusionist, misleading not just the people around him but the audience as well. Cool for narrative surprises, but it leaves us questioning what's **** summary, "Mr. Robot" is a hacker's paradise tangled up in a web of narrative complexities and political undertones. It's like a Rubik's Cube—thrilling to solve but frustrating when the pieces don't quite fit.
Above average when it’s about the cyber hacking, but loses credibility / entertainment when it turns to personal issues, corporate politics or anything that involves Tyrell.
Watched until episode 10.
Honestly seems like they make every character gay for no reason. All the men are horrible sexist degenerates and capitalist pigs. Just way too overtly far left in my opinion. Ruins what otherwise could be a great show. I really wish it wasn't so propagandistic.
