Absolutely love this mindfuck weaponized split personality disorder hacking anarchist premise. The end of season plot twists that re-contextualize everything are so good.

also have to add that im generally against the internet leftist tendency of Reducing Art to its Politics which might not come thru in what i wrote above, but in the case of mr robot its such an inherently political show that its hard to apply that same metric. like easy to ignore tacitly bad politics in a piece of art where that really isn't the focus vs something where the social commentary is so front and center. (sort of similar to how ive always been puzzled at non-socialists enjoying Disco Elysium)
I mean I necessarily don't reduce em to that. But the central gambit of mr robot revolves dismantling the financial system and getting back at the ruling class. In that process it also kind of loses coherence in the way it tackles the political web it is in. I still like elliot his alienation, and his anger to get at the unjust system. I won't just reduce it to like a garbage show cause it has faulty things in it.
for sure i feel that, i have deeply complicated feelings abt the show myself, a mix of intensely bad and intensely good lol
Well its a mix. Just have to process it for what it is I guess.
