In this season premiere, Sam Esmail pressed the reset button without actually erasing all that have been built in the last two seasons. We find every single character in a very different position than the last time we saw them which gives it all a fresh start.
The show find its roots back with not only a vibe similar to the pilot episode but even references to it. Elliot is a skilled hacker on a mission but is also a not so tactful person which leads to humorous moments. A new character is introduced right off the bat and we quickly understand who he is and what he is capable of, Elliot's place in this newly shifted world is also set for the audience to understand and new questions arise giving an interesting tone for the season to come.
Everything that might have made the previous season hard to watch is so far non-existent. The daring darkness, has served its purpose of building up 3.0 and so many things finally pay off in this fast paced hour premiere. Rami Malek delivers an Emmy-powerful performance surrounded by candles and a very surprising monologue in the streets on par with "F*ck Society" and F*ck God".
All this makes this episode a truly wonderful season premiere and a long awaited fully enjoyable episode that gives high hopes for the rest and allows Mr. Robot to regain its throne as the best show on TV.

This question has nothing to do with the review but "when the world falls, where will you stand?" This is a question you might find an answer to in this season finale.
Now for the main event This finale has presented the aftermath of a somewhat successful revolution. Fsociety & Ass. have done their worst and the world is now a better place to live in. Well is it? Is that it? The world shall now rise from the ashes and be reborn anew? What did you expect? You know it couldn't be
This finale goes all out in an hour and half episode showing a realistic depiction of the world Year Zero after the fall. Two themes are strongly exploited through it all and they are: confusion and darkness. Oh yes. This episode is fifty shades darker than the rest of the season and by that I do not mean kinky you filthy reader. I mean DARK.
The opening scenes make a great and subtle job putting us in context and do make use of recent covered real-life events which I find lacked after the first episode. The rest of the episode is a search for answers and oneself from both Angela and Elliott. This part of it gets dark and "real" very fast. Real footages are shown, brand names are dropped – some censored but hey – and USA Network prove that they do not lack on resources. New environments, great use of the public spaces and of public/extras, everything is there to make it feel real. The episode concludes into the greatest/realest monologue since Elliot's "Why do I despise society" monologue and with an after-credit scene very much worth watching.
The cameras work is loyal to itself and as always do not disappoint. The actor's work is in my opinion flawless and even minor characters are given a time to shine in for some reason always the darkest way possible. Fsociety members are shown too but really it is more to cover plot holes than anything else. No menaces, no nothing But trust me that will come later (in Mr. Robot's voice). One thing however that might have went overboard is the use of music. In previous episodes, it occurred that actual music was used in often subtle ways to provide more to the scene but this time, despite the fact that they were well-chosen, there was too much and they were too loud in my opinion.
In conclusion, a great season ending to a great new and very promising show, setting up a very mature second season that I am expecting very much.
Now let's play Jeopardy "The emergence of a totalitarian world government operated by an elite of organizations and corporations"

Wow... I am just done watching this eighth episode and I need a moment to catch my breath. There was so much to digest at the same time it got me dizzy... But this is the kind of dizzy you get from a roller coaster - If you like those - it makes you want some more.
This episode starts in giving the viewer so many questions and no answers at all. White Rose's shadow is quickly engulfing fsociety members and the menace is taken seriously. Something must be done, the original plan must go on, but something else is being played behind the curtains, by whom? For what purpose? - Oh nobody knows (Sang)
I felt that this episode was really the river of the game - Poker term - and everything is coming to an end. Those with the best cards are going all in and I cannot wait to see who gets the highest hand.
Mr. Robot's appearances make us remember why the show is named after his character as not only the actor's work is good but the character himself is simply captivating. He is officially shown as the Alpha and no one seems to be superior than him. Not even...
Elliot's appearances are as always remarkable and enjoyable. But in this game of wits, is he truly another player? Is he the dealer or is he simply a member of the audience? - Oh nobody knows - he still misses control over things but could it be about to change?
Angela surprised me on this one. We saw too much of her in the last episode and now just enough. But as always she only brought more confusion. Meanwhile, Tyrell just keeps drowning into his need for power...
Overall, this episode is the kind that makes no sense until it makes so much. The second half reveals so many secrets kept through the season - some more obvious than others - but those last five minutes just blow minds. Everything is chaos until it unravel to some of the greatest plot twists of the season.
I give it a 10/10 because not only was it on par with the pilot episode, it thrilled me from the beginning to the very last second with overall the most captivating scenes/episode so far this season.
Oh and I just loooove that White Rose character!
