>>63066780

I don't watch a lot of tv so I don't know if there's a lot of good stuff out there (I doubt it) but I fucking loved this show. The pervading underlying sense of melancholia that runs through the whole show is completely immersive and when it comes to the surface there are some devastatingly emotional scenes. The main dude's performance is also fantastic and Elliot is a great, morally complex character.

It's just great shit. I can't wait for the next season.

is that closing sequence of episode 9 with the Fight Club Pixies reference one of the most beautiful sequences in all of tv? I think so
>>
>>63069084
It was pretty great, Elliot saying "I just wanted to save the world" was pretty endearing.
>>
>>63069112

agreed. there's something that is just so sad about a desperately lonely dude who has a half-thought aspiration to save the world. I guess maybe it's so affecting because a lot of us probably feel that way on some level or at least do at some point in our lives.
>>
>>63069161
Could be that, I feel like it's the way these scenes are presented though. That scene in particular it feels like the entire show just came together, really bittersweet scene.
>>
>>63069265

yeah but I think there are similar moments scattered throughout the show that are equally prominent in terms of their emotional resonance but are also all handled quietly. the scene with Elliot revealing his hacking to Christa for instance. Or that scene with Elliot coming to in the empty hotel room after his withdrawal-induced fever dream. All moments that reveal this deep loneliness that is within him, an absence that he's trying to get away from by finding some meaningful way to live.

But yeah, that cut from Tyrell's line about the rooftop leading him to "wonder" with the piano opening over the beautifully colourful shots inside the Coney Island HQ works wonders.

>>
>>63069367
The show does have a lot of those strong, claustrophobic scenes that really express Elliot's dissatisfaction with the world, but at the same time also kind of spiral into his own insecurities while managing to keep it's relevance.

I don't think the show is very complex, but the way it can pull this kind of thing off somewhat easily is an accomplishment. Probably my favourite show of the year.
>>
>>63066780
I enjoyed it, although after the big reveal it went from 9/10 to 6/10 for me. I still plan to watch next season though.
>>
>>63069662

I guess the show isn't that complex but I do think that Elliot is a more complicated character than a lot of the central characters on tv shows. It's difficult to reconcile my reservations about his pretty immoral hacking into other people's lives (definitely an idea explored in the show) with my affection for his immense well of repressed sadness.

Anyway, great show and probably one of the best looking shows I've seen, it's beautifully shot. I think the opening credit sequences are some of my favourite scenes in the show.
>>
>>63066780
Best show of the year, arguably.

I was so confused when I first started watching. I thought "Evil" was some kind of word-filter thing they were doing.

I thought it was explained that Eliot always hears it as evil corp in the pilot, people weren't actually calling it that.

I actually thought the same thing, that's why I had some hope at the start. But 5 episodes later the show still went on with the just the blandest story about some l33t haxxors fucking society.
>>
>>63070134
>>63070185

are you guys both so stupid? in the very first episode Elliot says that whenever he hears someone say E Corp he can't help but hear Evil Corp. For the rest of the show the reason you're hearing other people (for the most part) say Evil Corp is because the show is filtered through Elliot's schizophrenic mind.
>>
>>63066780
Had potential and some good moments but went down the drain pretty hard.
>>
>>63070279
>>63070300
That's not the point. It doesn't matter that it's only Elliot hears it like that in the show. What matters is that creator decided to show his self awareness by presenting it in the most retarded way possible by making the viewers percept it in the same way.

I'm not sure I follow what you're criticizing. The point of doing that is to make the viewer as closely aligned as possible with Elliot's subjective experience of the world so that when his mind starts slipping later in the show we feel the gargantuan divide between his mind and reality. It's meant to make us feel close to the character and see things from his perspective, a small thing that works well.

Well it doesn't make me feel closer to Elliot, it makes me think the creator is a self-smug douche.
But that thing was just a minor nitpick I used as an example of numerous stupid shit in the show. Its entire premise is retarded nonsense about bringing down evil corporation, so people wont pay their debts. The characters are also boring as fuck and writer's desperate attempt to try and make them more interesting by making them gay is just laughable.
So constantly hearing "evil corp" is just a cherry on a big pile of cringe.

Damn you're dense. It doesn't matter if they're actually lesbians or not. That scene was unnecessary shoehorned bullshit, that was put there because every other scene with those characters was downright a drag to get through. And it's not even just the gay shit. Nearly every scene with Tyrell was try hard as fuck.

why should the show be subtle? it is about a group of people trying to take down a corporation. it is the entire plot of the show. look, it's okay if you're a Republican and the whole notion of attacking a corporation is inexplicable to you or possibly even anathema to your idea of how people should live. that doesn't mean that the show is bad though just because you disagree with its ideologies. at some level it is meant to be a bit of a rallying cry or a wake up call, a source of inspiration to people who are discontent to let them know that they aren't alone and maybe things aren't as hopeless as they might believe.

and again, how is that scene shoehorned bullshit? how can you possibly think that scene has an agenda? it's two girls on drugs who make out. I'm sure you've never witnessed such a thing or even been around any drugs but believe me it's not a very uncommon occurrence.

and as your comment about Tyrell doesn't mean anything I don't know how to respond.

You don't have to be subtle, but being as self righteous, self smug and cringeworthy as possible is not a way to go.

I'm not disagreeing with show ideologies. You want to make a show about fighting corporation, fine go ahead. But don't make corporation cartoonishly evil just because you can't write people fighting against it anything but insufferable cunts with no charisma.

>and again, how is that scene shoehorned bullshit? how can you possibly think that scene has an agenda? it's two girls on drugs who make out. I'm sure you've never witnessed such a thing or even been around any drugs but believe me it's not a very uncommon occurrence.

How is the corporation cartoonishly evil though? There are actually surprisingly few moments that even depict the fact that the corporation is evil. There are some blanket statements made in a few scenes but little of the show is even concerned with the morality of the company. Tyrell cannot be seen as a simulacra for the company because he is denied being the CEO and is ultimately fired. In what aspects of the show do you think the Corp is made cartoonishly evil?

I would agree that the drugged out kissing scene is unnecessary though. I don't think it has anything to do with what you said earlier about it being a part of some conspiratorial attempt to shoehorn gay content in. It's not a great scene but it's got nothing to do with sexual preferences.

It's calles character building. It creates atmosphere and enables the viewer to identify with the charecters or feel empathy or just get to know them. You shouold probably get back to CSI or other shows that spoon feed you plot from bland characters.
>>
>>63071807

>Tyrell cannot be seen as a simulacra for the company because he is denied being the CEO and is ultimately fired.
For a first few episodes he is basically the only high ranking corporation employee that you know, so I don't see why not.

But yeah overall I didn't even get to see why I would hate corporation itself, which is not a very good thing, since main characters are fighting against it.

>I don't think it has anything to do with what you said earlier about it being a part of some conspiratorial attempt to shoehorn gay content in.
It's not conspiratorial just incredibly stupid way to build your characters

>>63071910

but now you've gone from saying the show depicts the corporation as cartoonishly evil to saying that it doesn't do that at all.

Angela's dead mother, Elliot's dead father, Angela and her father suffocating under debt, flagrant mistreatment of employees and disregard for the humanity of the people they employ, populated mostly by careerist executives who have little regard for anything other than gaining authority and attaining signs of materialist supremacy.

I don't think any of these things are handled cartoonishly and I don't really see how any of them are all that hyperbolic.

It does so with Tyrell.

Depicting an entire corporation as a bunch of sociopaths who don't care about its employers is kinda hyperbolic.

First half is neat.
Second half is fucking garbage.

Easily the best show of 2015, really good atmosphere.

>>63072418

again Tyrell is always on the outside mate. from the very first couple of episodes when he gets rejected from the CEO position to the point that management won't even have a meeting with him or tell him that someone else is being awarded the position. he's a lower-level guy with great aspirations but he's always depicted on the outside. And I don't think Tyrell is even depicted as being that evil. He's a weak person who's terrified of disappointing his domineering wife. His weakness manifests itself in his beating of the homeless and his failure to prevent himself from killing his rival's wife. Also his final breakdown with his boss when he pleads for his job. Anyway, I think that your argument is pretty tenuous as it hinges upon the viewer transferring any of its possibly negative attitudes towards Tyrell to the corporation as a whole which is misguided. Tyrell is not Evil Corp.

but the second half is better

Maybe.
I just get really mad when writers use mental illness as an easy way to introduce cheap plot twists.
>>
so who was at the door?
>>
>>63072495
This. But also sort of this >>63072433
The first episode was boring, but then up until the last 2 episodes it was great. Last two were a bit weird.
>>
>>63072576

yeah I think people are incorrect in seeing the "twists" just as "plot twists." the writers do a very clever thing in handling the way those twists unfold. for example, when Elliot finally realizes that he is Mr. Robot, he remarks to the audience something along the lines of "you already knew that though, didn't you?" A comment that is both accurate (few people didn't realize this after the first 5 or 6 episodes) and meaningful in the sense that it is clear the writers are not trying to pull the wool over our eyes but are rather more concerned with the impact that this realization will have on Eliot, it is a twist motivated by going deeper into his character rather than playing a joke upon us. The entire "twist" just reveals the massive well of emotion that was behind the show's palpable melancholia the whole time, the repressed death of a fragile person's father. I don't see it as cheap at all, I see it as a creative way at looking at the effects that can occur as the result of a crippling level of guilt and despair.

>>63072662
You can tell Mr robot isn't real in the first episode, he's at angela's party and blocks the door just as Elliot speaks to the viewer/Mr.robot that he's about to go in, it's in the first few minutes as well.

Some really great missable scenes.
>>
>>63072729

yeah that's what I mean. there's also the whole reference to The Third Man in the very first episode with Eliot and Mr. Robot up in the ferris wheel, the reference clearly meant to recall that movie's similar plot machinations.

anyway yeah, I think most of us, or all of us, knew by the time that it was "revealed" so I think it's inaccurate to even think of it as a twist. It's a twist for Eliot, not us.
>>
>>63072808
I was hoping all the stuff pointing that he wasn't real was subversion, I guess it was in a lot of ways though. So I was kind of trying to argue that he was real before ep8. I still loved the way they went about it though.

Naloxone is an inverse agonist, not antagonist.

>>63070570
Because he's dumb. Very, very dumb.
>>
>>63073077
Nvm, I'm stupid. Naloxone has only partial inverse agonism.

>>63072576
it's not really cheap when it's established from the very first episode.

>>63066780

decent, mostly fun getting to see Slater actually do something

the soundtrack is very unoriginal and completely stolen/picked to make le ebin nods to other movies in a clumsy fashion, don't understand the praise it gets on behalf of it
>>
>>63073377

the soundtrack is great and the score is fantastic

what movies aside from Fight Club does the soundtrack reference?
>>
>>63073416
Fincher's entire ouvre. The soundtrack is a blatant Trent Reznor/Atticus Ross rip-off. He also nods to Clockwork Orange in the final episode with the digitised Bach or whatever it was.
>>
>>63073416

i can't remember the others since it was a while since i watched it but there were quite a few

about 90% of the ambient soundtrack literally sounds exactly like it's a 4 minute track from dxhr soundtrack getting looped

it's not bad, but it's about as unoriginal as they could possibly get

this with a different pitch and slightly louder beats is literally half the ambient tracks alone

Yup, it's reddit

I didn't even realize the pilot had /g/ opened in the background

Why tho

Literally: Fight Club but the main character is Eyegor from Young Frankenstein and Tyler is Eyegor's dad.
