That's an annoying trend as of late. The whole miniseries-but-if-ratings-are-good-anthology-series thing. Most of the time I would honestly just prefer a miniseries.

I think that's actually exactly what I love about this show, it's lack of concern for moving forward the plot.

Luke Cage was abysmally bad (I don't understand its high RT score at all), so I'm not too surprised by this. Jessica Jones is the only one I've been able to enjoy so far. It helped that it actually had something to say.

Yup, was thinking the same thing.

My first thought watching the first episode: this is brilliant! I love Paolo Sorrentino so much.

As you're speaking to me specifically, I am being completely honest. So many of the films I'm most fascinated by deal with cruelty and violence. I don't want censorship. But what I do want is critical discourse, and that's what I see in this article. This isn't saying there should never be another rape scene in

Yikes dude. This isn't about censorship. It's about television shows having a weird trend of using rape as a plot device. It's about being critical of this trend and discussing what is problematic about it. No one said censorship. Unlike Christian censorship, there's actually a discussion attached to this criticism.

the degradation of the nuclear family lol. sad!

Sam Hyde, is this you comparing yourself to Kubrick lol

Also, after feeling pretty frustrated with the author of this review and his inability to deal with the narrative structure of the show, reading all of these positive comments defending its weirdness is restoring my faith in humanity. While networks and producers and writers tend to assume the world is stupid and

"inconsequential," "advance the story," "flesh out." I think you're watching it wrong.

Ariane Labed! She was the biggest shock about this episode to me. Crazy seeing her in such a high profile project. She's fantastic!

My point is that people put too much pressure on season finales to be these huge mind blowing events that neatly wrap up the storylines of the season while getting you excited for the next. I don't think Mr. Robot is that kind of formulaic show, and I appreciate that about it. I never thought the finale would blow my

Can, sure. But don't necessarily have to and it can still be great e.g. so much world cinema.

I think my favorite thing about this show is the lack of focus on plot and character. it's much more interested in developing an atmosphere, a creeping dreadful feeling, its own stylized world with its own stylized laws. It's much more of an aesthetic experience than your typical plot driven, character developing

It's funny to me how reluctant so many viewers are to being perplexed by a show after Lost. Get over it, y'all. This show isn't very forthcoming about where it's going and it's OKAY. That's part of the fun! Quit trying to solve it and just enjoy the ride. No, this isn't a simple thriller anymore like the first season.

"If this was the first season, I'd be like WTF is this?"

It happens from time to time that I'm watching a show with some kind of underlying mystery or strangeness or enigmatic quality, and then that very quality gets explained away with the usual cliche tropes and I realize I had been building it up for myself. Or maybe I was hoping that there wasn't a simple resolution.

I dunno, I just don't get the point in basing an entire show's merit on it's conclusion. The ride this season has been fantastic. It's kept me guessing. It's gone off in directions I never would have guessed. Not everything has worked, but it's been so exciting seeing a show try so many different things that almost

If it's Knowles I'll definitely be pretty disappointed. I want the answer to be a lot stranger and more mystifying than a boring ol' murder revenge thing.
