Though, sigh now I have to wait a fucking year for more  . Was I the only one who was kind of creeped out by Tyrell's wife? she looked all kinds of dangerous/scheming in that scene with that look she was giving Elliot. This shit seriously left me with more questions than answers. + Show Spoiler +Specially with Tyrell, where is he? and what happened between him and Elliot?. Also I was very surprised to see White Rose talking to the Evil Corp CEO, but I also think that the person the CEO thinks is behind the attack is someone else and White Rose is not correcting him or talking about it. This show is amazing - I can't get enough of it. Very glad it already got renewed. Joanna Wellick is definitely a power player and it's not really clear what her plan or goals are with Tyrell out of the picture. I interpreted the final conversation with Price (Evilcorp CEO) and White Rose as Price suspecting Wellick with White Rose playing dumb. Price just had that falling out where Wellick flipped out and he probably knows Wellick is rather tech-savvy. This would give him strong motive to get revenge and also the means. We know Price lies extensively based on what he said to Angela about the guy killing himself, right before honoring him with his speech. So maybe he lied when saying that he didn't suspect Wellick. As for what game White Rose is playing, no idea really. That's one of the biggest mysteries to learn more about season 2, along with Wellick of course. How much does Gideon suspect Elliot? It seemed like a whole lot in their last interaction based on his line of questioning. Also, why does Joanna go from "i won't let them take you" or whatever showing intense loyalty, to "you're out of the family" pretty much?
Yeah that woman is scary as hell, Elliot was smart to figure out that he better gtfo and go as far as possible from her. To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that she killed Tyrell. I think her change in attitude was simply due to her perceiving their situation, what Tyrell did (killing that woman not manipulating her and her husband to get that job) as a failure which doesn't seem like something she tolerates. At first those two strike me as together we'll make this shit happen or die together type of relationship, but it quickly became obvious that Joanna was behind the scheming and she was in charge, so when Tyrell started to look weak and like he wasn't getting it done anymore she kicked him out. Who knows what will happen with him next season if he's even alive, but she's probably on her own next season (not that she needs Tyrell).
Yeah obviously the CEO thought he knew something about whoever was behind the attack, but going by White Rose's response, it seems to be wrong information?. Who knows what White Rose is up to anyway, probably the type of person who only collaborates when he has to or benefits him. Also yeah that CEO is a scumbag, honestly don't know how Angela stuck around after what he said about that guy.
I doubt Gideon trusts Elliot anymore, so he's probably looking into it thinking Elliot had something to do with what has happened. He looks like he's smart and he knows Elliot is very good at what he does. I doubt he can link him to anything but like with everything else, we'll have to wait a year to find out.

The finale points to many clandestine dealings between Evil Corp and the Dark Army. Love it!
Where has Tyrell gone to? My theory, in short, is that he helped Elliot to do the hack and is now in hiding because the Dark Army and Price knows he is connected to Fsociety

Joanna is definitely super creepy and has been from the beginning. I don't think she has rejected Tyrell at all, I think she was just putting pressure on him to fix his fuck up.
The thing that leaves me feeling the most uneasy is that they put all this build up around that gun that Darlene stole and hid in the popcorn machine, even showing it in the recap at the beginning of the finale, then did not mention it or show anything about it even once...

Mr Robot tv show is very popular tv show. Even i am also big fan of this show.

Tyrell is the one pounding on the door no? Anyway, other than the romance stuff (not my cup of tea in pretty much any movie/show), best story on TV this year imho.
That even here, this show wallows in obscurity, baffles and concerns me. I feel like we're at a point in society where we will look back and see a fork in the road. One path leading to revolution, the other Idiocracy.

i'm watching episode 1 and i think he should just start dating the psychologist woman she's pretty totally hot
i don't like the staged dumb shit obviously like + Show Spoiler +him deciding not to give that IP address then suddenly changing his mind (without them making it clear that he didn't intend to do it in the first place (and why)... ) and switching the paper infront of like 10 people
but i like the theme , i'm watching mainly coz i liked Zankyou no Terror and it reminds me of that a bit (anime where 2 guys take on the world)
i like the ambient music style

Hah, I didn't even know I did that to be honest. Yeah I watched it all in one sit through also, and by the time i was done thought it had gone pretty fast. An honest interview by him, so it's really interesting.

This show is crazy good. Goes on the top of my list along with Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones.
A lot of nicely nuanced hints, good flow, good realism, good drama, good acting, and plot.
Spoiler:
+ Show Spoiler +Right the same episode he appeared, I had a huge feeling that the father was imagined; regardless it was a great job they did with it. It was maybe even intentional since he says "you knew, didn't you?"

This show is worth watching for the music alone. Amazing soundtrack. Reminds me a lot of DeusEx:HR soundtrack.

True, the soundtrack is really good. I downloaded/bookmarked a lot of the show's songs and it led me to finding Alabama Shakes, whose album is now surprisingly-nominated for Album of the year.

+ Show Spoiler +I started disliking the show after they slit his girlfriend's throat. Things were starting to get happy up to that point. It also seemed kind of unreal.
Overall the show seems to be examining different kinds of power people can have, and how they can use it. The big one missing so far is legal power.

Because legal power is sand in the eyes for the people that have no power.

Well, the show is good but not stellar. The cinematography is great, music is amazing but...
+ Show Spoiler +
...there's a bit too much of the schizo stuff with the protagonist. Social anxiety and drug addiction were enough in my opinion, entering Rainman territory was overboard. Instead of spending so much time and effort building this entire "twist" they could put in more stuff including his actual work at Allsafe (the part where they call him in at night because of the attack is one of the best in the series in my opinion). I also didn't enjoy most of the trippy flashbacks. Instead they could've given more screen time to the supporting cast and develop their backstories a bit (the chemist hacker, the fat dude, Darlene, Darlene's ex etc.). Some Tyrell backstory would be a nice touch too.
As it is it's too much a one-man show like Rainman or Donnie Darko. I'd prefer more character development on others.

And yet it is the way to get the strength of the power of the state behind you. Policemen will come to do your bidding. The law is an incredible force.

Season two background and trailer added! I needed it unlocked by staff  Thanks FO-nTTaX!
Who's ready?
|
Season 2 preview looks good... As much as I liked season 1, this is a show that could go all Dexter at any moment so I'm always a little bit hesitant to get excited about this show, but that trailer seems to be still going in the right direction!

I really like the show. It sits at a strange crossroads between 80's cyberpunk fiction and 90's pop culture (obviously Fight Club). However, can someone answer this question?
+ Show Spoiler +
Mr. Robot has been seen acting independently with other characters (Tyrell and the black guy in particular), but they don't notice Elliot looks / acts completely different? Why didn't Tyrell recognize Elliot as Mr. Robot?
Elliot looks at the popcorn machine where Darlene stashed the gun. However, he didn't see her stash the gun. This leads me to believe that they are, also, the same person.
Then again, I think Elliot is everyone. He can will people in / out of existence and is seemingly omniscient. The show operates from a limited first person perspective--the audience only knows what the main character knows--but every character calls E-Corp "Evil Corp," even though Elliot isn't around to mishear it. That might seem like a small detail, but it's an important one.
Mr. Robot's line "I was only the prophet, you were supposed to be my god," along with Tyrell's line "we never paid attention to what's above us, God," leads me to believe that a great deal of the show is in Elliot's head, and that the *actual* theme of the narrative is about post-modern solipsism rather than corporate greed, etc. How Mr. Robot's been interacting with multiple characters sans Elliot and their not recognizing him is beyond me.
Before the police show up, Tyrell seemed like he was on the verge of saying something. He began with, "You turned me into this" (or something like that), which in conjunction with the Elliot-being-god thing makes me think that Joanna has somehow brainwashed Elliot into thinking he's Tyrell.
Or maybe Angela is Joanna (alludes to being adopted [I *think*] after giving birth) and Elliot is Tyrell, and they've both entered into a shared delusion.
Another theory: while learning to program, Elliot used to copy-paste source code to create his own websites; the following scene depicts people wearing their dark secrets around their neck. Anyway, the point is that people, too, can be copied and pasted onto a blank space. Mr. Robot's disk is blank; Mr. Robot is also Elliot. Maybe he is literally everyone.
For a show that's stolen every trope from Neuromancer to Fight Club, it's somehow unoriginal without being derivative. I'm annoyed that I like it, honestly.
