What I loved about the previous episode is how they showed that Elliot has absolute power, the ability to topple lives and manipulate fates, yet he mostly uses it to fit in with people. He did some things for moral reasons, and didn't do some things he probably should have for personal gain. In this episode, he is challenged frequently on when to use that power. Straight off the bat, he is given opportunities from both sides of the shadow war. His indecisiveness is brilliantly handled by the show runners.

One incident that really stood out was his encounter with a drug dealer. This drug dealer was dating his neighbor, and the only reason Elliot hadn't taken him down is that he is the source of his morphine. This leads to a very interesting moral dilemma. The episode was generally filled with very clever dilemmas for Elliot. I have noticed that the second episode of a series is often one of the weakest in the season. This avoids that pattern, and is even arguably better than the pilot.

The plot twist at the end is even more intriguing than last week's. If people weren't hooked by the pilot, this'll do them in.

Another great episode. Episode 1 was definitely better, but by 0.5. My favorite characters in this episode were Elliot, Shayla, and Darlene. I haven't said this yet, but basically, I am watching this show with my mom. So far, I am still wondering what she will think about episode 8. The only flaws I could find in this episode were the character development of Mr Robot, the change of music, and the 25% of corny comedy, but i don't honestly care to be honest. This episode was still great and should've definitely kept it's 8.7/10 rating. Again, it wasn't better than episode 1, but still was very very good.

The second episode of "Mr. Robot" is not as amazing as the first, and the flaws are more clearly seen, but is an enough good episode. We repeat the same mistakes as in the first episode: way too "smart" people that seem to live above everyone else. Sadly, it all becomes a little bit repetitive, as the story barely advances. Mr. Robot does an "offer you can't refuse" to Elliot and that's basically everything that happens. The cliffhanger from the pilot is dealt in a very childish way (let's come here, Elliot, I'm going to talk to you in private and show you a whole new world...). That Elliot seems to be able to say "no" to all the offers he is getting is the best part of all.

The other part of the episode, the "lonely vigilante", is quite lame. That Elliot is a great hacker seems obvious. But all the story and how is dealt with reeks of laziness. A "Sherlock hacker" deserves better.

It has been one month since the pilot aired and it caught me by surprise. I am a kind of movie freak that has watched a lot of movies and TV and doesn't get impressed easily. The feeling the pilot gave me was similar to what i felt when i watched the first episode of Game of Thrones or Breaking Bad or The Twilight Zone (Original); i would also add MASH but its a comedy.

It mesmerized me, the lead actor seems almost tailor made for the role, great casting choice and Christan Slater......., saw him after a long time and must say that the way he is handling the part, I am starting to wonder why has he not been working in better movies. The sisterish friend of the lead may be considered a bit weak but not by much. Anyways, the point was that i was in awe of the pilot and during last month saw it 3-4 times.

I was apprehensive that the followup episode may not be able to carry the momentum. We have all seen shows that show promise in the beginning but then very soon stoop down into driveldom, or at-least loose our interest.

This is not one of those. The second episode was at par and maybe even a bit better then the first. The characters are fleshed out during the course of the 46 odd minutes. The absolute power image of the pilot is brought up against the absolute powerlessness that the characters sometimes feel.

I loved it too much, so ill keep on chattering..... you guys go see this. But remember..... you need your brains about you with this one... in-fact you may even need to borrow some from the local chop shop.

Have fun.

Episode 2 was very good. The pilot left us off with a cliffhanger as the Linux guy (Tyrell) had Elliot brought to him. Why? To offer him a position at E Corp. Elliot has to decide. He has no interest in working there.

On the other hand, Mr. Robot is moving more and more toward his plan of toppling a conglomerate and deleting debt. He wants to do something that will be bad for a lot of people that Elliot wants no part of.

There are little subplots involving Portia and her boyfriend. A lot of people have mentioned Mr. Robot being like Fight Club. It very much is with him being inside his head a lot. They will probably tell you the truth before the end of the season.

Episode 2 does leave us with...another cliffhanger. USA is doing Mr. Robot right and hope it lasts for 5-8 seasons.
