On tonight’s new episode of “Mr. Robot,” our hero(?) Elliot had to take on one of his most difficult projects yet in Steel Mountain. The fact that he made it out of there is something that should be commended … even though not all was necessarily a success for FSociety. Yet, somehow he may have […]
Let’s make one thing very clear about tonight’s “Mr. Robot” episode entitled “Daemons”: It will be polarizing. This was far and away the most abstract episode of the entire series today, as a great deal of the story was told to us in a series of visions, carried through by Elliot’s pain-pill-snorting addiction after having […]
“Mr. Robot” has spend four episodes so far focusing on the life, struggle, and neuroses of its main character Elliot, and yet it feels like some of the most intense story is still very much to come. We’ve seen some of Elliot’s skill showcased on the series in one way or another so far, but […]
This just in: If Wednesday night’s new episode of “Mr. Robot” is anything close to the sneak peek that we have just seen for it, it may be fair to say that we are in for quite an enormous treat. This video is all sorts of brilliant, and it offers up some great insight into […]
The second episode of “Mr. Robot” season 1 felt to us like somewhat of a letdown from the premiere, and it is hard to put our finger on why. Maybe we had not figured out the show yet, or we were frustrated by what we did not understand. After three episodes, meanwhile, we are now back […]
Through three episodes, “Mr. Robot” has proven itself to be a brilliant show in many ways, and also one that has a bizarre sort of distance and white noise. It feels almost like they want you to feel detached to a certain extent from Elliot’s surrounding world, almost like they want you to be in […]
Big Brother, Extant, Mr. Robot
We’re going to talk about both broadcast and cable ratings in the span of this particular article, mostly because it is not so much like there are so many different shows out there that merit different articles about them right now. “Extant” – Ouch. A 0.7 rating in the 18-49 demographic for a premiere is awful. […]
When “Mr. Robot” comes back on USA next week, we’re going to see Elliot right away in a very different sort of place than where he was for most of the second episode: He’ll be cut up and in a hospital bed, promising that he will change a certain way in which he does things. […]
To us, there is no question that “Mr. Robot” had one of the best pilots that we’ve seen over the past year. We loved it so much that we’ve gone back and re-watched little pieces of it here and there. Sam Esmail did a wonderful job of putting you in the head of socially-stunted hacker […]
Sometimes, a show manages to do something to blow you away even before it gets anywhere near its first-season finale. Today, that show is USA’s “Mr. Robot.” It is intense, creative, and exposes you to more of the real world of hackers. It’s not like some cheesy conception of what they were like in the […]
