This episode was packed with character development. Tyrell took center stage for the first time. We get a very interesting glimpse into his life. Everything seems to be about power for him.

Rami Malek continues to kill it as Elliot. In this episode, he tries to lead a normal life. This led to some of the series' funniest moments so far. The soundtrack when he lists the things that make a normal life was absolutely brilliant, and really added to the hilarity. It was also a really clever moment when Sheila interrupted his inner monologue. Up until now, she has been a nothing character, not particularly deep or developed. In this one, we see a bit of who she is, and why she's perfect for Elliot.

But the highlight of this episode is Christian Slater as Mr. Robot. He steals every scene he's in. He really feels like he could end up being the hero or the villain. Only time will tell. His actions lead to a shocking reveal late in the episode.

When I first watched this series, this was definitely my least favorite episode in the entire show/series. My favorite things about this episode were the Protagonist, the music, and the pacing. My favorite characters this episode we're Elliot, Angela, and Gideon. The plot twist in this episode was very good but kind of eh compared to 407 and 413. Overall, this was definitely on the same level as 3x10 BRBA, so yeah it was a great episode, but compared to the others? That's crazy to think that it is better than the next one. My least favorite things in this episode were the amount of nudity used and enjoyability being a downgrade.

I don't have too much to say about this episode, it didn't have a plot, but it built a pretty good character development, talking about Tyrell's personality.

Also, we got to see more about Elliot and Angela's past, how they met and their father and mother's history.

I really liked the debug and bug analogy about life. Comparing the hard work of managing a bug, with having a "bug free" life. Moreover, this lifestyle didn't last long for Elliot.

I felt happy for Elliot asking Shayla to be his girlfriend, leaving her past job behind and starting a new beginning. It was very cute how she opened to Elliot about her hobby.

I hope things go well for Angela, after Ollie's mistake.

This episode feels more like a "what-if" story that shows what Elliot's life would be like without fsociety. We get to see Elliot experience happiness for a change and develop the healthier parts of his relationships, but of course the joy doesn't last for long. This is contrasted by Tyrell's increasing acts of American Psycho-esque violence when his career plans don't go as planned. A character-building episode rather than a plot-building one.

Greetings from Lithuania.

"Mr. Robot" is a very good, non formulaic (although first season of Dexter" comes into a mind very quickly, but in a good way) new show.

Pilot was superb, second episode was good and this one is just great.

Acting by all involved is superb although i kinda expected something more from Christian Slater who won Golden Globe for this - he is very good in here but he does his usual "Christian Slater thing" - it is a colorful character, but not a "chameleon" type of acting. Writing is great, involving, intriguing and provoking. I also love music in this show.

Overall, "Mr. Robot" so far is a superb show. Not typical and sometimes provoking with great craftsmanship, this is a must see for all who tired of generic and dull series.
