It's 5 weeks late, but I'm just now starting the second season
of Mr. Robot. I'm late through no fault of my own. Not sure who
the blame falls on, but either USA Network or Roku needs to step
up their game. I've been waiting and waiting and waiting for
Episode 1 to drop. Whether it's USA or Roku, they were refusing
to upload the first episode, but had no problem streaming
episodes 2-5. Now that the first episode is up, they have
removed episodes 4 and 5. Seriously, what the f*ck. I'm
seriously p*ssed that they are f*cking with my schedule for this
and that I now have to deal with the uncertainty that I'm going
to even get to watch with any consistency and will have to wait
for an extended time frame to get the rest of the episodes.
Okay, with that out of the way, this episode was a great return
to the series. It didn't take long for me to get back into the
show and confirm my perception that Mr. Robot kicks ass. Very
much looking to see where they take this for Season 2. My view
is a bit skewed now since we know that Mr. Robot (Christian
Slater) is all in Elliot's head. So, I'm now forced to view his
reality in a completely different way which is kinda cool. This
is gonna be a fun season for sure.

After watching the first episode, I decided that I would sit
back and wait for the entire season to wrap up because I wanted
to binge watch it all. This is a show that I had zero patience
waiting for week in and week out during Season 1. I didn't want
to put myself through that kind of torture again. So, having
just completed Season 2, I'm even more impressed with the
writing and acting by all involved. I would say this is actually
a better season than the previous because this season really
goes out of their way to f*ck with the viewers mind. I didn't
know where this was going and when I finally "figured" it out,
they turn the season completely upside down by revealing that
the first half of this season is entirely in Elliot's head. Yup,
everything in the first 7 episodes never happened pertaining to
him. I really loved that they did a Situation Comedy for half an
episode and I'm talking about full-on Sitcom with canned Laugh
Tracks, green screen, bad cheesy dialogue, etc... It's was the
perfect way to drive home the point that Elliot's brain is
seriously at odds with reality. Since we have the knowledge that
there is a lot at play inside his head, it really does make you
doubt what is real and what is made up in the second half of
this season. Loved it all. Can't wait for Season 3. Great
cliffhanger.
