Yeah, if the character based stuff is your thing then season 2 was pretty good, and I do enjoy that stuff myself. That is what makes Mr Robot special compared to other TV shows. However the thing I enjoy most is the hacking / technology aspect of it and for large parts of season 2 Elliot wasn't near a keyboard which was a major issue for me. The Lack of Martin Wallstrom for most of the season was also to its detriment compared to S1 as Tyrell is a terrific character played very well. I am glad he is back for season 3.
Agree the last two episodes especially this weeks "kill process" have been really great. Rami Malek was tremendous, especially in the confrontation with angela at the start of the episode. The intensity of his performance was amazing and some of the best acting I have seen on TV for a while. These 2 episodes have come close to matching the series 1 pilot "hellofriend.mov" which in my opinion is the best single TV episode I have ever seen,in any TV series.
I have enjoyed a lot of other episodes as well, though some of season 2 wasn't great and dragged a bit,as did a couple of the episodes early in season 3 when it drifted too far from the core story. For me, Mr Robot's biggest problem is matching the quality of "hellofriend.mov" which promised so much early on, very rare for pilot. Some of the later season 1 episodes came close, and now we are getting there again in season 3 which is great to see.
Whoa, that was the most exciting season finale of Mr Robot to date. Mr Robot has always struggled on how to end it's seasons, but 3rd time is the charm, as they say. Riveting stuff, and I am hyped for season 4 next year.
I watched season 1 back in the day and enjoyed it, S2 by ep 3 wasn’t doing it for me.
Might give it a second chance, must be doing well ratings wise to get another season.
I'm half way through season 3 and just watched episode 5. Wow, just wow. I clicked after a few minutes that the camera hadn't cut yet, but I didn't expect it to last the entire episode! I know they probably used clever television trickery and it wasn't all one continuous shot, but it was superbly done. Sometimes I wonder if this is the greatest tv show of our time, and it doesn't even have the budget GoT or Westworld has.

Not sure what sort of mood I was in when I binned this during season 2 after 4 eps.
After reading above I started on ep 5, now on 10, brilliant stuff.
If this season is weaker than season 3 - happy days !
The direction is superb, you have to question everything you see.Glad to hear that you are back into it, mate. I'm a broken record now, but I genuinely believe that season 2 is a misunderstood masterpiece. Most people will consider season 3 a better season simply because it's much more of a thriller and features more plot and stuff, and it does those things extremely well, as you would expect, but season 2 is going to be very difficult to top for me. My feeling is you'll love season 3 more than season 2 in the end, though.
I do think that season 3 is much better than season 1 though.
