This season has been great so far.
They set it up a couple of episodes ago, this is pretty obviously what Tyrell meant when he said had a plan (to get around Elliot's shipping changes).
Superb episode. Great season so far.
Caught up with this season - fecking awesome!!
The tension & drama is superb in each episode.

I was really disinterested after the first three episodes of the season and stopped watching, but I watched the rest, including episode 7 in the last few days, and the last 3 have been fantastic. Felt like all of season 2 and the early season 3 were building up to this and the payoff has been brilliant.
I thought Episode 5 is the best tv episode of the year. Then I watched episode 6 and changed my mind.

Pretty disturbing last episode. Not really pulling any punches.
Got lulled into a false sense of security by some of the comedic scenes in this episode
I can't get over how good this show is right now. After season 2 I was sure that this was going to turn into another "great concept that eventually goes nowhere". Nope! Turns out that season 2 was just a story-development season(with excellent cinematography, tbf). Fecking hell it's paying off in season 3!
If Sam Esmail can give Mr. Robot a satisfying ending without dragging it out for too long, it might go down as one of the best TV series ever.

Will this be the final season?
4-5 seasons overall, so next or one after.
Just started the third season, totally forgot that this is airing. fecking animals, killing Joanna.
Yeah a pretty grim ending.
Has Trump tweeted anything yet about Mr. Robot?
That last episode 
Ratings are very low for this season but I think USA will defo give Sam one season at least to finish this off. I would be surprised if they gave him 2 (which is what he wants).
Whiterose is going to get away with it
Loved the scene between Irving & Mr Robot.

It has a voracious audience and critical acclaim though. So between the merch/box set sales and the award nominations they might decide it's good for the network to have.
Almost every half decent to good show out there gets a very loyal audience who wants the show to go on as much as possible. It's critical acclaim somewhat dried up during s2 which had mixed reviews and could not garner any meaningful nominations (including an emmy snub for Rami Malek when previous winner almost always get nominated when eligible for the same role). I love this show (though I do think the plot of the show is starting to collapse a bit) and it would be great if it does get the full 5 seasons, but it is not a guarantee for sure. Infact I won't even rule out USA giving a much shortened season order to wrap up the show and not agitate the fan with a non-conclusive ending.
„I had to ask you twice.“
I just looked at the ratings, and feck me they really are awful, I thought they'd be 4-5 higher at least. Yeah, this could easily get shitcanned.
Can't go wrong with Knight Rider. Ever (Except for Knight Rider 2008, that is).
Still enjoy the show, some of the cinematography, soundtrack and aesthetic are great but the story is kind of silly now. I don’t really find it compelling like other posters seem too.
Yeap. Current era is actually very good for tv shows. Even just a decade ago, series would just get cancelled without any chance for the creators to wrap it up in any way. I think Jericho was one of the first tv series I saw getting resurrected for a conclusion due to fan campaign. But now days it is common for networks/studios to give critically liked series at least some episodes for a conclusion if they cancel it early. Sense8 for example is getting a movie after getting cancelled on a cliffhanger.
I think the plot is starting to swallow itself a bit now, it is largely due to the indulgent and over ambitious second season. They trimmed up a few loose ends this season but a lot of contrivances still remain. Even with that it is an incredibly well made show and on an episodic level, the suspense and the tension is super engaging. Much rather watch this than yet another superhero tv show.
I don’t think the overtly left wing political themes in this series help the ratings either, especially in America. To say they are overt might be an understatement, they are more rammed down your throat.
Watched the last 2 episodes in a row and I'm glad I did. They went OTT for my liking but the suspens was nice tbh.
Whiterose is terrifying. She makes Evil Corp CEO look like a cute puppy in comparison.
How on Earth this show has only 0.5m viewers for episode is a mystery to me.

The perils of appealing to a technologically literate crowd. They don't like ad breaks.
I doubt that's why, the US is full of ad breaks.
Fun fact: USA actually aired the single-shot episode without any ad breaks!
Its a travesty. Easily one of the best things on TV.
Very few serial shows do well on network in US if any. This show should have been on FX or AMC and would have gotten the whole season order easy.
Can anyone remind me how does the FBI agent know about Whiterose? I remember that she met Minister Zhang in the second season, but she doesn't know that he and Whiterose are the same person.
She does not. I don't remember exactly when but she came across the name at some point during S2.
A very different kind of episode this week, but I liked it. Sam has a lot of "range" in his directing and Rami is a fecking good actor.
Understandably downbeat episode. Looking forward to more action next week.
Filler episode.
I loved that episode. Not the best of the series by any means but Rami Malek was great in it and his arc with the little kid was very moving. Wonder what will be the ending of this season.
I thought the stuff with the kid was a weird dream sequence for a while. I think that was intentional from Esmail.
