Re: Mr Robot
Been thinking of watching this one. I heard that the story deteriorates though. Does it sustain interest over time or are there some slow periods?

I've seen the first 2 episodes and though it had some good parts, the incessant narration, overarching 'society-is-fucked-mkay' speeches and the shitload of emotional baggage of the main character made it hard to watch for me. Not sure if I'll pick this show up again sometime soon.

Fight Club meets the Social Network, still one of the better shows on TV thanks mainly to the lead actor.
UBM CD COMING SOON
Re: Mr Robot
The finale has been postponed a week. Apparently there's a scene that is reminiscent of the murders that happened today in Virginia, where a TV news reporter and a cameraman were shot and killed on live TV.

Re: Mr Robot
Not that the big reveal wasn't obvious, but I'm interested to see how they carry this story forward for multiple seasons. It's a good show.

Re: Mr Robot
Caught up with it over the weekend. It's a lot of fun, with some really strong acting and a great sense of unreliable narration. But it also reminds me of Snowpiercer in the sense that you just have to accept the premise and barrel roll with it without thinking about it too closely, because if you start picking at the seams the whole thing might just fall apart.

Re: Mr Robot
Pretty good finale, I was happy with it. Glad that they def have a long term plan and the big twist was just a step in a larger progression instead of an end onto itself. The after-credits sequence sets up some really great shit for next season too, really hope we get more of the CEO maneuvering and plotting.

Re: Mr Robot
I tried to watch this show but the drug use hit a little too close to home and REALLY made me want to go get high which is not a comfortable feeling for me these days. It's unfortunate too because up until maybe the middle of the second episode where It got a little much for me I was really enjoying this show. Do the drug use scenes continue through out the season?
Re: Mr Robot
I thought this was a great season. Finale did not disappoint. Some great, tense scenes throughout the series.
Odi, the drug use continues, as well as an episode where he's forced to go through withdrawals. That might be even tougher to watch.

Re: Mr Robot
Solid finale. They left enough up in the air that there's a number of interesting places to go next season. I really enjoyed both the writing (occasionally cringeworthy, but great for the most part) and camera work (the use of space).
Anyone know what changes they made to the suicide scene because of the news shootings a couple weeks ago? Pretty goddamn graphic. I'm assuming it was a murder vs. a suicide.

Re: Mr Robot
No changes were made. It was just the fact that airing a suicide scene on live TV the same day as a gunman killing 2 people on live TV wasn't exactly good timing.
Re: Mr Robot
Ah, that makes sense. I would have thought it damn near impossible to pick up and edit a shot like that in a week.

Re: Mr Robot
I watched the first season in two days. I really liked the show. Can't wait for the second season.
Re: Mr Robot
LOL. I'm on the 2nd episode and cosign this post to a tee. I literally wanted to turn it off and delete 15 to 20 minutes in .... but every single one of those UNIX commands are ones I use on a daily basis. My home rig is also almost set up the exact same way as the main character's. The technical aspect of the show is somewhat interesting so I will continue to watch the show to see where it goes.Yohan wrote:Really?Dan wrote:Been waiting for this show to get its own thread.

Re: Mr Robot
They leaked the first half of the 2part premiere over the weekend, anybody else catch it? It was a promising start, but maybe too much time spent on him wrestling with seeing shit. Hopefully the second half has more intrigue in Evil corp and the fallout from the hack and all that

Re: Mr Robot
I watched it. I liked it a lot, just was surprised that it didn't immediately pick up from the end of season 1 where we're left wondering who was knocking on Elliot's door.

Re: Mr Robot
I think his memory loss is too good of a narrative device for them to just lay everything out plainly. What actually happened in the 3 days he blanked out and immediately after the end of s1 is probably gonna be the central mystery of at least the beginning of the season
