Season 3 of Mr. Robot is a masterpiece, ballasting the global ambitions of season 2 while sharpening back to the meticulous build of season 1.
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.

Hello friend.
This is a real work. And this is the work that you will remember a few years later, especially on New Year's Eve, how many of these works do you know?
We will not see such a script, camera work, acting and, most importantly, such an approach. But it's not scary, after watching this series, I'm ready not to watch anything else.
Goodbye, friend.

Last season, Elliot was trying to save the world; now he’s trying to save himself. That battle promises to have lots of casualties.
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.
It’s a mildly interesting fantasy, but the story has too many holes to feel really compelling.
Sam Esmail and Rami Malek, hats off to the both of you for leading the charge on one of the best shows on television.

What a roller coaster of emotions. The acting and directing are superb and the performances are oh so memorable. There are some slower episodes but stick with it and you'll never regret it. I was weeping by the end. I'm going to miss this cast of characters.

**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.

Season 1 catches your interest wanting to know what happens. Acting is mostly poor (the entire series) and supposedly brilliant people come across as idiots (partly acting and looks but mostly horribly written characters). Perhaps the brightest person in the show seems to be a drug dealing gang banger type. I give season 1 about a 6. Season 2 is painful to get through and gets about a 0.2 score. Seasons 3 and 4 get better a bit but you always wonder what drugs the writer was taking to come up with such bizarreness. Overall, maybe the drugs are what make the show as people watch to see how weird and unbelievable it is. Pronunciation of many things gets bizarre. FBI agents have tattoos all over that would prevent the person from ever getting near the FBI. Star FBI agent likes sex with her informant followed by her Toobining every chance she gets while watching or listening to the informant. She does a great job of showing why to many FBI stands for Female Body Inspector or Friends Before Integrity. The whole show is mainly poorly acted and poorly written (unless it was intended to just be weird).
