More often than not, Mr. Robot is not a show which invites you to buy in. It’s standoffish, reticent, only willing to make you care when prodded to do so, and even then it will resist. Yet if you are willing to engage, willing to challenge yourself, it’s some of the most fascinating television happening right now.
Pretty much a perfect season of TV. The shots, the acting, the story, everything is fantastic. Episode 5 is maybe my favourite episode of the entire show.
Mr. Robot is one of the best TV series I've ever seen. I consider it to be on par with the likes of Breaking Bad. It blew my goddamn mind. It's original, unique, and unpredictable. There isn't any other show like this. The story is excellent and you're always wondering what will happen next. I cared about pretty much all the characters. Solid performances from the actors across the board, especially from Rami Malek. Mr. Robot starts on a high note, continues on a high note, and ends on a high note. The quality and the consistency never falter at all. I **** love it. Go watch it right now.
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.
For those already weary at the prospect of more episodes rife with frustrating mind games, know that in season three, Mr. Robot is much more consistently assured and compelling than it was in its uneven second season.
There are so many interlocking agendas and conspiracies and secrets that the show feels more like work than it originally did, no matter how much Esmail tries to pare things back to the basics. Beat to beat, it can still knock me off my chair, but then we get back to keeping track of who’s really loyal to whom, when Angela might or might not be telling the truth, or what Tyrell’s motivations are, and the episodes can start feeling much longer than they actually are.
The moments where Elliot hacks into systems and works to bring down corruption in globe-spanning corporations is exciting, compelling, and intense. The show works hard to get those moments right, and it pays off. Much of the rest, though, can feel like when Elliot loses time to the obscure machinations of Mr. Robot before getting back to business.
A return to form. Season 3 combines the best elements of Season 1 and 2, and finally advances the plot forward while deepening the characters. It finally moves away from the Fight Club references and blazes its own path. This is still some of the best editing, cinematography and acting on Television, and has some of the best television moments of 2017.
Easily the worst of the series thus far, season 3 is an utter mess. The premise that begins this season is unbelievable even for Mr Robot standards, and I found myself literally caring less what happened at this point, that is, what I could even follow. Add in some cringey ultra-sappy writing, some awful filler, and more unnecessary twists than you can begin to count, and this season was straight up hard to sit through.
And that's the last season I'll watch of this schitz-fest. God! What a plot mess this is and a total 180 turn around plotwise! Episode 6 was the worst of the lot with Elliot in total schitzoid conflict with himself (Mr Robot) and it was just a wholly implausible exhibition. In any realistic portrayal he'd have been rocking back and forth in a looney bin by now. Look, some of the characters are very intriguing and many actors execute their craft well, which is why I continued past ep 6. The problem appears to be Sam, the showrunner. As many have noted before me, he's showing his rabid Lib colors this season and is most definitely bowing to his corporate masters. I defy you, yes, defy you to be interested in this show any further after watching the last scene of ep 10 - it's the middle finger to all of us.
I enjoyed the clever season 1. Season 2 got a bit complicated but there were some twist in the plot that caught my atention. Season 3 I got completely lost and the preach against capitalism started to get really annoying. I live in South america and this writers are taking for granted how lucky people in america are not to have socialist attemps all the time. Great desapointment.
I used to think that show was pure genius, but it seems like the writer couldent deliver what he promises in the first season. All this show is about disappointing misleads and plot twists that always turn out to be exploited in the most boring way. It is very unfortunate for a show that could have turned into a subversive hit series if not for what became clueless writing and plot laziness topped off by pretentious directing effects that used to be original and, without any real substance, becomes annoying and risible.
