Did it remind you of some of the “auditing sessions” in “The Master” with Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquim Phoenix? I can’t decide.

I wouldn’t be that harsh. It was a bit ham-handed but I disagree with Alex’s take saying that Whiterose would never support Trump being President simply because Whiterose is as intelligent and sophisticated as Trump is buffoonish and simple-minded. The point may be that Whiterose, as a behind-the-scenes oligarch who…

I liked the Richards Tip quite a bit as well, and this episode AND the Uber one, which seems to have been divisive. The only ep where I thought maybe the show was going downhill a bit was the selling chili at the hockey stadium/massage therapy one. I actually thought the chili part was pretty funny if only for the…

Dramatic thing happens to somebody on TV drama! What a spoiler!

I loved the “dormroom philosophizing” thing too, primarily because so many dumbasses thought it was clever and original to use that exact phrase about some of Elliot’s dialogue in the first season.

I’m well aware of who Michael Eric Dyson is and I’m not that surprised that he touts himself as some sort of expert on hip-hop (or any other thing for that matter). But just because an opinion comes from a relatively well-known public intellectual doesn’t mean it’s automatically correct.

Well those sources/the consensus are wrong then, or at least I disagree with them. And you’re contradicting yourself anyway because one of your examples ATCQ, who were far more 90s than 80s. I can see 87 to 93 being reasonable though, not that I see why Michael Eric Dyson should be looked at as any expert on hip-hop.

This is an astonishingly bad opinion. Just think to yourself: what’s the likelihood that the very beginning of an art form was the peak of it? Like they figured everything out at the very beginning and then it was just down hill? C’mon! You’re talking about an early incarnation of hip-hop when it was still very much…

I’d place it from the very late 80s (1989 People’s Instinctive Travels/Paul’s Boutique) to whatever point Bad Boy completely took over. The early 90s were the peak of the peak with Low End Theory, Midnight Marauders, 36 Chambers, Check your Head, Illmatic, the first Pharcyde album all released as well as all time…

Low End Theory and Midnight Marauders both came out in the early 90s . . .and that’s just for starters

I agree. I often find that with serialized dramas, particularly genre shows, I find the professional recappers grades/assessments to be way off my feeling of a particular episode. I think it’s because with a show that’s completely serialized individual episodes don’t particularly stand out for me and I’m just watching…

Okay, so the current denialist talking point is “she didn’t go there but it wouldn’t have made a difference anyway because reasons”. Got it.

“Mr. Robot started out as a pretty rote litany of all the usual pseudo anarchist cliches that were so pat and generic they made your eyes almost roll out their sockets. And yet viewers ate it up. Slowly but surely Esmail turned those generic rage against the machine rants into something far more interesting and, I’d…

It was a combination “maker your own textile” and “unconventional materials” challenge

Um, it’s not a myth. She didn’t campaign in those place during the crucial period when that would have made a difference. You must be pretty deep in some weird Hillary dead-ender bubble if you think it’s a myth. It was talked about in “Shattered” and I believe also in “What Happened.”

Generally I’m in favor of the opening monologues where they just do a couple minutes of stand up, if it is in fact a stand up comedian. However, I was really underwhelmed by Nanjani’s material. I’m not a big fan of stand up in general, and I haven’t seen the Big Sick, but I thought he was HILARIOUS in various roles on…

You missed the most important unfriending/unfollowing of all! She stopped following Lincoln’s blog “The Al Dente Dentist”! That’s cold man.

The problem with ongoing comedy shows is that healthy, evolved people just aren’t that funny to watch. I too would like to see some growth in the characters because I think they are pretty complex characters who deserve that, but at the same time if we saw them learning and growing a lot they probably wouldn’t have a…

This guy again

Nice to see another reviewer who takes the politics of the show and of Elliot’s monologues seriously and who shares my far left (by conventional American standards) politics. I agree with you that in the past Mr. Robot has displayed one of the most tiresome tropes of how leftist revolutions are portrayed in mainstream…
