‘Mr. Robot’ season 2 spoilers: Rami Malek lays the groundwork for Elliot’s journey
Tomorrow night is going to be a big one for “Mr. Robot.” After all, the first two episodes of the season are coming on back-to-back! Through these episodes the opportunity will be there to figure figure out where Elliot Anderson is, and then also at the same time where he is going.
First things first, he must sift through more of the aftermath of what happened at the end of season 1 with the hack that went much bigger than even he anticipated. In talking about this situation further to The Hollywood Reporter, Rami Malek had the following message to pass along:
“In true Elliot form, he’s trying to cope with all of the consequences and repercussions of what happened … He feels there’s a lot of blood on his hands, and what he thought was going to be a really transformative event ended up almost backfiring. He’s in a very guilty place. On top of that, he’s dealing with this revelation that he and Mr. Robot exist together as one person. I think he’s pretty fractured at the time you meet him. He’s just trying to pick up the pieces of who he is. He’s trying to glue it all together, and hope it doesn’t fall apart.”
Where this season ends up remains to be seen, but rest assured that we’ll have some further news on that every step of the way. The biggest thing that we expect is an emotional journey, and a mixture of high highs for the character coupled with some fairly shattering lows.
