401 Unauthorized

Sam Esmail continues to successfully break walls and create subtle yet unsettling metas leaving us craving for more.



Mr Robot is back, but it feels entirely different. As if we're now in Mr. Robot's head, not in Elliot's. The whole cinematography seems much more calm, yet chaotic in ways. Loneliness, anxiety, self-confidence, ruins, death-wish and so much more was portrayed magically throughout the entire episode. The bar has been set high and i can't wait to see what's to come next!

I don't know if it would have the same impact on new viewers without context, but Jesus Christ. First episode was intense. After a last season that definitely ended on a dark and sour note, Season four plunges us into deep peril straight away. I genuinely felt scared throughout like i was watching something dangerous. Like the Dark Army were about to get me if i kept watching. All bets were off and the fates of every character were up in arms. I'm glued. Welcome back indeed, Mr Robot.

This episode is another brilliant addition to the show, which itself is a massive achievement in directing, writing, editing, acting, cinematography, etc. This episode stands out to me because it plays the tone of horror and despair to convey the situation these characters are in. Another reason this one stands out is because nearly every actor had their shining moment, and it never felt corny or forced like all the emmy-bait shows. I'm really sad and excited at the same time, and I really cannot wait to see what comes next. I want the Dark Army to feel some of that retribution Angela was talking about.

Wow. That's honestly all I can say this point. One of the best premieres I have ever seen from a TV show. The pacing in the episode is remarkable, it keeps you intrigued throughout. Rami Malek showed off his acting chops yet again. Cinematography was flawless and Mac Quayle can do no wrong. No spoilers here, just watch the episode and enjoy a near perfect primiere.

Amazing. It blew up at the start and didn't stop till the end. You won't want to blink during that episode. Just watch it
