Mr. Robot TV show discussion

began watching this show recently, binged-watched the first season.

this chick is a babe:

as an ex-adderall user, i'm curious as to how the fck they expect us to believe adderall is helping with his schizophrenia/dissociation? 200MG a day is extremely high, for reference, the max recommended dosage is 60MG/day. Adderall would exacerbate his psychotic symptoms, especially at over 3x the max recommended dosage. there are recorded cases of myocardial infarction at over 150mg of adderall. further, psychosis is a published side effect, albeit rare, of adderall.

The latest episode... Wtf is exactly right

Had to skip through that shit, so slow and dragging out. Next episode better be decent

[Thorpesaurous]

I liked it. I liked that they used the old TV ratio. I liked the old commercials. They did an old style commercial for Suits, with the old USA stamp in the corner. And they aired and old Bud Light commercial.

Narratively all it did was re-hash the same stuff, so I suppose it was more of the show spinning it's wheels, but at least it wasn't Elliot babbling some voice over allegory that was the same stuff.

Then after that sequence we got some genuine progress.

The sitcom opening had me cracking up. Slightly disappointed they keep teasing the fate of Tyrell. I just want to know what happened during those 3 days after the hack.

Crazy ending!! What an episode

[Thorpesaurous]

I'm pretty sure I complained about the disjointedness of the stories up to this point, and this is a pretty cool twist that justifies it. It doesn't however make the previous however many episodes any more watchable.

totally got me off guard....but then they could have skipped all the bullcrap that they showed and just begin with the Pr.... shit, now all that shit in the previous episodes is almost irrelevent and they need to tell the real story

[FatComputerNerd]

Thats the whole point though...to catch us offguard lol.

They continue doing a good job of it going back to some of the twists in season 1.

Anybody not watching this show needs to be.

Everything about Angela makes my skin crawl, her plot line is so forced on the show...

I was talking to a friend over the weekend about the show, and said pretty much the same thing, and her response was that they've overcooked it now. Elliot went from an unreliable narrator, to a unbelievable narrator, to the point where it's not worth listening to him at all, because you know it's going to get flushed at some point. I don't completely agree, but I do think it's a valid point.

We mentioned this too. That character is completely lost. It's one thing to keep her motives vague. It's another for them to seemingly shift scene to scene, or just sometimes just not seem to exist at all.

Apart from the jail twist and a couple of decent scenes here or there this season has been a complete mess..
Have to agree the Angela story is just ridiculous
