If you haven't watched this show yet, what the hell have you been doing with your life? Go, watch it! The first season is out in Amazon Prime. If you don't know anything about the show, it's basically about hacker, people, perception and crazy. The second season starts in July and Envie and I will be discussing it, so, come and join us.

Yeah I can't say enough good about this show to convince people. I did NOT expect to like it let alone get hooked on it so quickly. It's definitely a show you can really get into for it's psychological aspects as well as being a relevant modern topic. The 1% vs. 99%, corporate greed, internet security and privacy, Anonymous, overthrowing the powerful, financial collapse... it's all there and much of it based on real life parallel issues. The writer is amazing and of course Rami Malek as the lead is out of this world good. Christian Slater is also fantastic.
If you're looking for a new series that's totally different and still new and hyped, this is the one to go for this summer. Season 1 on Amazon Prime Instant Video, Seaon 2 coming up soon!

"Hello, friend."
What a fantastic beginning for a television show. It nearly rises to the literary genius of "Call me Ishmael." (Sorry, Melville).
It certainly had me at "Hello."
Watched the first episode of season two last night. It was a wonderful beginning to the new season.

Finally got to watch last night's episode. Elliot's new life is essentially a prison sentence. Maybe I've watched too much OITNB recently, but that's exactly what it reminded me off. Could Elliot actually be in prison? And this is just his mind processing it all? Or is it just symbolic of how he's forcing his mind to become his prison to keep him away from the internet.

That's Interesting, I dodn't even think of the possibility that Elliot might be in a real prison. Generally, I thought the premier was very good, it shows you what happens after the euphoria of the revolution is gone. Elliot he's trying to keep the chaos at bay but the chaos won't let him. His battle with Mr. Robot continues, but I wish we would have gotten more time with Krista, like why would she take him back after everything that happened. Also, Darlene's talk with the other hacker, whose name I can't remember, about feeling like they lost after everything that happens is very after the revolution sentiment. Also, WTF Angela. What is going on there?

What is going on there? I guess the prison/institution theory is pretty popular online. I had to look around to make sure I wasn't insane. Angela, I really hope she's still thinking of sabotaging them. She's my favorite character after Elliot. She's definitely in a bad place now. My heart kind of broke for her when she was watching that self help video.

day dreamer You were not kidding. That was phenomenal, though I'm not quite sure what to make of the FBI cliffhanger. I'd kind of surmised just how shady Ray was by how simultaneously mysterious but relatable they were pushing him as. 'Don't look where you shouldn't' is a telltale sign of that shit. Craig Robinson is perfect for this kind of dialled back villain and I love that they're going to play this smaller scale evil up against the bigger picture evil Mr Robot always has his eye on. Elliot's like a fucked up superhero. Also as much as I'd been loving the properly introspective, psychological start to the season, focusing in on the machinations of Elliot's mind, this felt like a return to peak pre-reveal Season 1 Mr Robot. Things happened and hands were played, has jolted the season alive.

I can't wait to see what happens next week. The way this last episode ended was just phenomenal.

So my gf thinks Tyrell is really Elliot. I don't buy it. Anyone else think that's a possibility?
Glad Meryl Streep's daughter survived the shooting. I like her so far.

That was a crazy ass episode. Never thought I'd see Alf on Mr. Robot. The Angela ECorp stuff was tense af, and overall the last couple episodes have been better than the first 3 or 4, but I'm not liking it as much as S1 tbh. They need to bring back Tyrell already.

The entire sitcom opening was one of the balliest things I've ever seen a show do. I thought it was going to be quick and then they just kept going. Angela in the FBI headquarters was so nerve racking.
Amazing episode all around.

I really liked the twist. Although in retrospect I should have totally scene it coming by the time we got the reveal. The routine of Elliot's days, the unavailability of a computer and Internet which led to him working for Ray, and especially the near rape. Since Krista said he'd be getting out soon I assume he's not in there for anything serious like murder (I think Tyrell is alive) or the 5/9 hack. I'm guessing it's from hacking the guy Krista was dating and stealing his dog.
On another note, how the fuck is fsociety still using the ECorp woman's apartment? You're telling me she hasn't come back at all?
