It's an incredibly cynical view of the world but it may be one of the most realistic depictions of our existence, even if it's the parts most of us never see.
If Mr. Robot aspires to evolve into a deep character study, and an even deeper dive into the frightening aspects of mental illness, that is by all means creator Sam Esmail's prerogative, and I will surely be tuning in, out of curiosity.
Remains one of the most dizzying, intoxicating, challenging shows on television, a gripping look at mental illness and brilliance run amok... It's a show that poses Big Questions and dares to leave them hanging.
With plenty of mysteries still left unanswered, characters in flux, and a cyberwar set to only escalate further, Mr. Robot remains arresting and prescient.
For all that Mr. Robot invites us to think about global financial issues, the unchecked power of technology, and imminent societal collapse, it also demonstrates just how efficiently capitalism co-opts all critiques.
Sam Esmail's weirdly mesmerizing cyberthriller continues to pull off an audacious feat of boldly original, eerily relevant and daringly surreal storytelling, reminiscent of the visionary cinema of the 1970s.
Esmail is pulling a Fargo instead of a True Detective, taking his show into surprising new directions while holding onto some of the stuff that made us love it in the first place.
Even in a TV landscape boasting a huge population of anti-heroes, Mr Robot stands alone in its determination that no one should look to its lead character to guide them out of the darkness.
