Just watched episode 3.

So it was Minister Zhang who got Trump in power.

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

No one else watching this?

Episode 2 was great. Kicked off with a bang this time. Need to watch ep3

[Yiannis]

All of season 2 explained in the latest episode?

I enjoyed that episode.

Bobby Cannavale's character is brilliant in this.

[Anywhichwayicant]

I have to say, I found this show very pedestrian. I enjoyed Rami Malek's work but I couldn't stick with the show. Way too slow for me.

[Macphisto80]

This show has some balls. I'm amazed it has that narrative it does and is still managing to do well enough on American TV to get more series green lit for it.

[The G in Gerrard]

Up to episode 4. Show has been spot on since it's return.

[The G in Gerrard]

So it was Minister Zhang who got Trump in power.

Did surprise me that

[adruk87]

Going to have to give season 2 another go, loved the first season, think I watched about 3 or 4 episodes of season 2 and gave up.

[robertobaggio37]

Easily the best thing on TV for me. Hats off to Sam Esmail (mass email) and others for the work they have put in. I like all those details but threads on reddit really got to me, truly unique show.

[The G in Gerrard]

Stunning episode. One of it's best imo.

[Yiannis]

Thoroughly enjoyed that. A complete episode with lovely direction as well.

Also enjoy Bobby Cannavale since his Boardwalk Empire. Am probably wrong cause I hadn't watched him before but since then and whenever I've seen him play, have this feeling that casting directors and writers have tried to shoehorn him into a certain role.

[RedSince86]

Fantastic episode.

Right up there as one of it's finest.

Spot on. Was brilliant and camera work was magnificent.

Just watched episode 3.

I saw that, it was a brilliant moment. I think you mean Whiterose though don't you?

[RedSince86]

Minister Zhang is when he's male

Whiterose when she is feminine.

The character is Transgender,i'm guessing in public office having a Transgender politician high up in China  wouldn't go down well with the communist party.

That overshot and the whole scene with Angela searching for the USB. Stunning piece of television.

Yep! All of it - capturing the riot was beautifully done.

Indeed! Cheers dude. Haven't caught up yet, I think everyone is talking about an amazing episode 4?

Series 3 has started really strong.

[The G in Gerrard]

Wow. Another excellent episode.

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

fuuuuuuck me, that was incredible

[Yiannis]

Esmail is like "I've got this". Been a wonderful, run at 150 mph experience so far. Suspenseful storytelling, good performances and boss direction.

[RedSince86]

Another amazing episode.

This is turning out to be the best season so far.

[The G in Gerrard]

Yeah they are smashing it. Hopefully this gets recognised.

[lionel_messias]

Season 3 is really good isn’t it. Esmail has clarified the story, certainly compared to Season 2. I like how it’s simply about Elliot and Darlene’s relationship. And Tyrell’s mission obviously, tied in with the ice-cold Angela. Irving (Cannavale) is an awesome addition to the cast, keeping things grounded a bit, away from the high-concept mystery of the dark army.

I'm not fully up to date yet but loving this.

[Jack the Red]

The last 4 episodes of this have been amazing. I've sat there open jawed at the end of each one. Just brilliant, definitely my favourite thing on TV right now. The story is all coming together.

[Yiannis]

Tired of praising it Well done to Esmail. Proper response to a bit underwhelming season 2 (without being bad).

[B0151?]

I suppose we should wait until season 3 is over but I think I'm liking it more than season 1 - which is very high praise indeed. I just find myself looking forward to the next week more and more.

Spoiler

Will be gutted if this weeks ep means the end of the Whiterose and Price scenes . Absolutely love them. That "because, Phillip, I had to ask you twice" was a legendary villain moment. You almost felt sorry for Price. Might be cheesy anywhere else but man alongside such a depressing episode, it was perfect.

[RedSince86]

Another stunning episode.

I actually feel sorry for people who are not watching this magnificent show.

worry not...we'll rent some space in a church basement and form a support group...

Or you could just watch it? Many Mr Robot watchers raving about it now would acknowledge it was a bit convoluted last season and a fall off from the first. Terrific stuff right now though.

I liked 2nd season. Can't believe how many people jumped on the bandwagon and completely wrote off 2nd season (this is not aimed at you, just saying)

[Macphisto80]

Second series was good. You just needed a little bit of patience for it.

[Yiannis]

So....Knight Rider was boss.

[lionel_messias]

Episode 5 was absolutely brilliant.


Fantastic tension and camerawork. And the lovely
Portia Doubleday was excellent. Definitely a bit of Hitchcock blonde
going on there and Esmail seems to be a Stanley Kubrick fan as well.


3rd Season must be one of the best things on telly right now.

[JoeCole]

It really has been an outstanding season so far, definitely the best run of episodes in the entire show

[Yiannis]

Surprised no one has commented on episode 8. Different from the pace and direction of the previous ones but wonderful in its own way and deep.

Shocking, nostalgic, bonding, there was sadness (much sadness), poignant and some lovely scenes and colours like this one.

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

Definitely didn't expect an episode like that. Was a great change of pace. Wasn't sure where it was going halfway through but it was great. This season has been one of the best I've seen.

It seemed like a pretty cliche set up and oh man do I hate child actors but yeah, I thought it was done very well.

The show seems to actually be based around childhood traumas to a degree, if you read about Multiple Personality Disorder it often occurs as a result of traumatic childhood so I do think it was a very important episode. Made sense that only a young kid could get through to Elliot.

[robertobaggio37]

Fantastic episode.

One thing though

Spoiler

Elliot is Elliot but why would he let his father alone dying there? I mean everyone reacts differently in these situations but I had troubles understanding Elliot's reaction, it was so cold and inhumane (again I know how Elliot behaves but this was super weird)
