Plots(1)
Mr. Robot follows Elliot Alderson (Rami Malek), a young cybersecurity engineer who becomes involved in the underground hacker group fsociety, after being recruited by their mysterious leader (Christian Slater). Following the events of fsociety’s 5/9 hack on multi-national company Evil Corp, the second season explores the consequences of that attack as well as the illusion of control. (Universal Pictures UK)

The only drawback of the first season, if any, is the pace. Which is a problem that persisted, and due to the higher number of episodes, it is more noticeable in the first half of this series. But the obvious week point is the big twist in the middle of the series. The twist alone as great. But it is used in the wrong place, i.e. too late. At that time, thanks to all those carefully fragmented hints, an active viewer (and a passive "I expect to be entertained" viewer Mr. robot is not really its target group) at least to some extent well see it through. It was supposed to show up at the end of the opening episode of the season. In this case, there would still be the necessary wow effect and at the same time it would allow much more interesting interpretation in the following episodes. So much for the issues and now let´s explore the strong points. Above all, it is necessary to praise the creators for not taking the easy and well-trodden path of the first season (however, it is true, sometimes they are unnecessarily treading water on this new path). The audiovisuals are even more refined and sophisticated (this time Esmail also directed all himself), Malek and Carly are a bit more impressive. Clever, conscious, thoughtful, slowly graduated, innovative. All this was truth and still is. As a result, the first episodes are weaker, but we can hardly consider it as a decline in quality. And considering the ending with which the creators had to work, that they had to do without one of the two biggest driving forces (story and performance) of the first season, that most of the season each character leads their own separate life (story line) and that this time episodic story telling was skipped, so the result is actually much better than one would expect.
