Featured reviews
The show kept this inner monologue style, which is thrilling and always making us wonder, listen and emerge with the character .. Elliot still having his uncertainties and somewhat delusions but apparently this season he starts realizing which is which and it will be time to have power and take back control. The Dark Army which had a few appearances in the last season finale but this season they seem to share the Evil pie with E-corp.
"Are you still there? Am I ? What did we miss? did you see any thing i blacked out. If I'm alive I must'v been right. None of it was real, I'm the one in control, the one with the power, but why doesn't feel that way!! " -Eliot Alderson.
The plot is just as strong as ever, so tight and has so much to fill with Elliots "Stage 2" or some other stage of retaliation !! or is he trying to undo what he did by working in E-corp again !!.. the script looks much more organized and fast going, so current and connected to the "now" events .. a bit easing up on the hacking terms but still informative and easy to digest.. they also cleared out more the multi-personality situation , a bit like fight club style which makes me more in LOVE with this show.
As for the cast, Bobby Cannavale is an excellent addition to the show .. his character is mysterious and interesting, Christian Slater is back to taking more lines and Rami Malek, well, he's the Elliot we still love.. also Portia Doubleday "Angela" is taking on a significant part this season.
The music and soundtracks in the premiere !! my goodness it was just an almost Zimmer level composing , just adds more tense and excitement to the scenes.
To conclude, I'm Excited, thrilled and expecting more surprises to come.
This show proved, once and for all, that it's one of the best TV shows ever written, and quite possibly the best show on TV right now. The premiere of season three or Mr. Robot was, to put it mildly, a masterpiece.
Everything about it just worked to perfection. The cinematography was beautiful, maybe even the best of any episode in the show. The directing was superb and the music was just excellent. The way the episode was written and paced was just amazing. The acting was just phenomenal, everyone on screen shined in all sorts of ways.
That's all I will say without giving any spoilers away. This episode amazed me like few others I've seen in my lifetime have. It is one of the best hours of television I've ever watched. "eps3.0_power- saver-mode.h" is a work of art and there's no doubt in my mind that it deserves a perfect score of 10 out of 10.
Sam keeps us on the edge of the seat and steers us each episode toward a direction he wants you to go...
This is a great TV show and it goes out of it's way to not be cliché like so many others...
Can't wait to see what's in store...So many cryptic messages from so many people...If you love puzzles; Mr. Robot will quench your taste...

- Quotes
Elliot Alderson: Did my revolution just bury our minds instead of freeing them? Encrypting Evil Corp's data was meant to empower us. Instead it left us powerless, scaring us into even more submission. I am not going to get rid of the invisible hand. Turned it into a fist that punched us in the dick. And like a botnet, the fear I created is spreading so fast, it's practically airborne. It's swallowed us whole, digested us, and now we're stuck in its asshole, waiting to be dumped out. And while we're here, they're having their way with us. They packaged a fight into product. Turned our dissent into intellectual property. Televising our revolution with commercial breaks. They backdoored into our minds and robbed our truth, refurbished the facts, then marked up the price. This is what they do. It's what they're good at. This is their greatest trick.
Frank Cody: To try and bring the truth. They're trying to take that away. And now they're moving to the next step. Yeah, next step. You know what the next step is?
Elliot Alderson: Lobotomizing us into their virtual reality horror show.
Frank Cody: Why? So they can take away your power, and I am not talking about you electricity.
Elliot Alderson: And this all started because I tried to hide from society. Remember? "Fuck society'. Yeah, well, I fucked society all right. I reset it to zero, and ig I don't do anything about it, it will continue to grow in this malignant way. And that's what I'm afraid of the most. This dark future that I set into motion. Who knows what could come from this? What if instead of fighting back, we caved, gave away our privacy for security, exchanged dignity for safety, and traded revolution for repression? What if we choose weakness over strength? They'll even have us build our own prison. This is what they wanted all along. For us to buy in on our worst selves. And I just made it easier for them. I didn't start a revolution. I just made us docile enough for the slaughtering. And I can stand here and blame Evil Corp and every other conglomerate out there for taking advantage of us, blame the FBI, NSA, CIA, for letting them get away with this, blame all the world's leaders for aiding and abetting them, blame Adam Smith for inventing modern-day capitalism in the first fucking place. Blame money for dividing us, blame us for letting it. But none of that's true. The truth is... I'm the one to blame. I'm the problem. This was my fault. All of it. I did this. Fuck me.
