Watched season 1 and really enjoyed it. When I came to watch season 2, I couldn't remember half of what happened in s1. Is it good enough to bother re-watching s1 or finding a s1 recap video?

I found the pilot to be very good but then it turned into a show about his own mental illness etc. Not my cup of tea.

The pilot was sensational @VorZakone, but the show gradually turned into a various obvious fight club scenario whilst not being as remotely entertaining as Fight Club. Still a decent show, but could've been really special if they carried on with the theme in the pilot.

Fantastic first episode!
Yup, that's why I dig this show. Season 2 was weaker than season 1 for me, although still decent.

Season 3 starting kinda strong. Episode was ok until final 3rd, then it stepped up.

Glad its back and really especially enjoyed the second half of that episode. Love the monologues the show does with its characters. Angelas character especially has become so interesting following on from last season.

First episode was excellent. Elliot's monologue was particularly epic.

Second episode was quite good too. There's this theory I've seen on Reddit, that Darlene is going to die in a plane crash. There was a dialogue from this episode which gives that theory more plausibility.

Plane crash? That'd be weird. There are a lot of excellent theories on Reddit but I don't want to be dragged into them too much.

I was legitimately scared for the therapist's life there.

Seriously, Mr. Robot: you do not kill a hot woman who's into anal. That's the worst sin of all!

I only came to know about it after this episode as well.

Can't believe they killed Joanna!!

Loving this season. Thought season 2 was weak, but this year they're back on form.

Very well concluded, loved the way the brought all those puzzles in place.

Cannavale is such a superb addition to the cast.

Can someone clarify to me the significance of Darlene putting up that photo on the shelf at the end of the episode 4 of season 3? Where was she when she was doing this?

Agreed, he’s a very good actor.

Think it links in her conversation with the agent hunting down Elliot. She was in Elliots apartment too fwiw.

Episode 5 was pretty amazing.

Need to see if there’s a behind the scenes for that episode.

Episode 5 was epic. If that doesn't win an Emmy, I don't know what will.

This season is, imo, much, much better than the second.

Reall wish more people would watch the show/interact a tad more on here.

The Mr. Robot Subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/MrRobot/) is filled with an insane amount of info/theories and such.

The tension was good throughout the episode. Tbh I'm on team "Mr robot-dark army". It sucks that they are building for some big changes in the world, only to have the main character changed his mind (i know he is against killing but he still changed his mind on the whole thing).

Why is Tyrell Wellick relevant for the complot?.Elliot and him seem simple pawns for the dark army however they are protected.
Is because they need a scapegoat or because they are excellent hackers?
I am a bit lost in some episodes or totally lost (The episode with Angela and the red phone)

Episode 5 was superb. Felt like something straight out of half-life. Loved the tension.

Another very good episode. Things coming to a head quite nicely.

I love watching BD Wong at work. He doesn't seem to have aged since the days of Oz. Loved him camping it up as Professor Strange in Gotham too.
