Mr. Robot (Season 3)

After watching the first episode of the new 3rd season, I couldn’t help but feel lost. This series is filled with so many twist and turns, and I honestly couldn’t really remember where things were at and what the status quo was. By the end of the episode, I felt just as lost, although I did like the montage where Trump’s America appeared to be a result of what F Society had done. Enter the second episode, and I’m back in. Starting with the superb opening montage soundtracked by INXS, to everything just coming together and me getting a grasp again on what is happening and where we may be heading. Also, the music selection in both episodes so far has been fantastic.

Mr. Robot (Season 2)

I was planning on binging the season once it was over, but playing the Mr. Robot iOS game put me in the mood to dig in, and now I just hit episode 7, and wow. And the opening 15 minutes of episode 6. Without reading specific things about the season, I was getting a general sentiment that this second season wasn’t as good, but I’ve really enjoyed it. I like that it feels quite different from the first one, and plays on your expectations of what will happen.

Mr. Robot:1.51exfiltrati0n.ipa

I wrote the other day how I was getting excited about playing a few iOS games, and this is another one of them. I really loved the first season of Mr. Robot – and am currently waiting for season 2 to finish before watching it – and when I saw that there was a new game from Telltale based on the series, well, that meant an immediate purchase. The developers of the game are Night School, the studio behind the game Oxenfree, which I haven’t played yet but have definitely heard great things about. So far, I’m digging this. It plays like Lifeline (a game I also enjoyed), in that it’s a text adventure/choose-your-own-adventure type game, but under the guises of you communicating with someone (or in the Mr. Robot game, someones). The game is presented as an E Corp messenging app, and so you wait for messages to come in, which advance the story. I started playing this on iPad, as that’s where I usually do all of my iOS gaming, but it felt more fitting to play it on iPhone (to continue the illusion of using a messenger app), and I’m really enjoying playing it that way. Every time I go in to make the story advance, I then play a few rounds of Reigns.

Mr. Robot (Season 1)

I’ve finally gotten around to watching this (something I’ve been meaning to do for what feels like forever), and binged almost all of it over the weekend (I’m on episode 9 now, of 10). I knew it was something I was going to like, based on everything I’d read about it, and it even surpassed my expectations. I’d unfortunately gotten spoiled on the big twist that happens in episode 8 – from a podcast I was listening to just last week – but I found that it didn’t really change my enjoyment of everything, and even let me look at some things more attentively to see if it all made sense. I’m also a big fan of the framing in the show, which I feel does a great job of supporting the feeling of intimidation and paranoia that the characters express throughout. Already looking forward to diving into season 2.

Mr. Robot

Man, based on the first episode, this series is fantastic, and I still don’t quite get what it’s doing airing on the USA network (not the place I’d expect to find quality shows). It’s about hacking, and doesn’t feel hokey, and the main character is a revelation – this guy is fantastic to watch. Really hope upcoming episodes continue to be as good as the premiere.
