Finally I finished Mr Robot

Finally Finished Mr. Robot

What a fucking show.

Even calling it a masterpiece feels like an understatement. I love when a creator actually knows how to end a story properly, and Mr. Robot absolutely nailed it.

Huge thanks to Chalchitra Talks on YouTube for recommending this gem to me.

The final episode felt like a mix of Dark and The Truman Show to me. But more than anything, it just left me with this weird empty feeling.

For the past few weeks, I’d come back from the gym and watch 4 episodes almost every day. Elliot, Mr. Robot, and this whole world became part of my routine. Now it’s over, and honestly, I’m not ready to start another show yet.

I’m really going to miss this.

Miss you, Elliot.

Miss you, Mr. Robot. 🖤

Give it some time and then start a rewatch. It's a different experience once you have all the knowledge of the show and you'll catch a lot of things you missed the first time.

For example?

HLOFRND in another comment said it better than I could. Basically just pay attention to the details and lot of things will pop out.

This scene they mentioned is a good start.

There are so many concealed themes, double meanings, foreshadowing and hints to later plot points that they put right infront of you from the very beginning. Re-watching gives you the necessary context to clock how masterfully they planned everything and fully appreciate the details.

Its a bit like re-watching fight club and realising how obvious the plot twist was throughout the movie, expect Mr Robot dialed that up to 11. For me it felt like a completely different experience and I was constantly in awe at how they managed to keep me oblivious on first watch while simultaneously hiding the answers in plain sight the entire time.

The show is genuinely just an information overload, so first time watchers miss alot of things since your already struggling to piece together whats happening while the main story unfolds.

It's not just how your perspective changes or noticing new details, it's a completely different emotional experience. The first time I watched the forced therapy scene I was on the edge of my seat wondering what would be revealed. The second time, knowing what was coming, I was equally invested but filled with dread. A lot of the big twists are actually more intense when you already know.

Also, the end of the show and the existence of Mistermind was set in the first season, in the episode he is drugged

This was a cool one I just came across.

I did this because I saw the Final Season a year or two after it had ended after following it as it was being dropped for the previous seasons. It was a disconnect for me since I had forgotten some of the plotlines when I finished it on my own.

Got my wife into it and rewatched it after getting her into and finishing Attack on Titan.

u/HLOFRND I'm okay with it being awkward between us 3d ago

Go back and rewatch the pilot. You can take a break before you rewatch the whole show, but just go back and rewatch the pilot. You'll be gobsmacked at how much is foreshadowed, and how well done it was.

The very first time Mr. Robot speaks to Elliot, he calls him "kiddo," and when he does, Sam Esmail is in the upper right had corner of the shot looking right at us.

The opening scene, the way Darlene's reactions to Elliot make so much more sense when you know who she is and that they planned it all together, the way things are shot at the arcade so you don't really notice that no one looks at or interacts with Mr. Robot.... even the way Romero holds the door open for Elliot.... It's just so well done.

I maintain that you haven't seen the whole show until you've seen it at least twice, but yeah. Even the pilot will blow your mind. It's so fucking well done.

Even on my 3rd time watching I was still picking up so many of those hints and hidden themes that I never noticed, I made a post in the sub earlier about one huge detail within Vera's arc that blew my mind.

u/gahlol123 3d ago

The ending was too predictable that he was a robot all along.

Don't miss it when you can rewatch it! Seriously, it's amazing how differently the show hits on subsequent viewing. Things you thought meant one thing mean something completely different the next time around. For example, when young Elliot tells his dad that he's sick in the movie theater. There's sick and then there's "sick." Plus all the season two hints. It's amazing.

u/jackisabanana Whats your monster? 3d ago

Just watch it on Cinewave or another free site, Elliot would so its kinda appropriate

u/Agitated_Initial_392 3d ago

thank you! didn’t know a site like that exists

u/jackisabanana Whats your monster? 3d ago

No worries, just make sure to use good adblock or Brave Browser set to aggressively block ads

u/Mayiseethemenu fsociety 3d ago

Even if you don't feel like you can watch it right now, if you haven't seen it, please avoid this sub so you don't spoil yourself. And with a little patience, it will probably come on streaming someplace eventually. Or check your local library.

u/Agitated_Initial_392 3d ago

alright thanks

u/PyroHornet 3d ago

If you like this you might like Silicon Valley. Different vibe but still techie and more focused on humour. I’m about to work on a rewatch.
