Mr. Robot is next level tier of cinematography, same level as BCS / Breaking Bad I'd argue. The episode lengths are perfect, the music is thrilling, the story is consistently intense, every episode is extremely fulfilling. The creator of this episode leads both audio, cinematography, and story telling - which is extremely rare for the writer to lead these other departments for his "baby". Sam Esmail has also had a history of hacking himself, at one point, he was put on academic probation for hacking (this is the creator of the series). I'm not familiar with the codes they show on the series, but it is reassuring to know that everything you see is accurate to a degree / not the typical "Hollywood press a button and enter main frame" sort of hacking. Love this show

Yeah, IMO Season 2 is where the show really grows into its own thing with the directing and cinematography. It always had a distinct look, but it's not until the second season where literally every episode onwards is directed by the creator/writer and you can really feel its immersive unique flavor becoming a big part of the show. And the final season is where the directing/cinematography is just on crack. Every episode could pass as a movie and it's definitely the most different from the other seasons.

Yeah, Rami Malek has owned this role since the very first two words of the show were spoken but the final scene of this episode is where his acting really shines

yes, exactly what i was expecting. knew she wouldn't live long but damn, she deserved better. it's awful because you can't exactly be mad at elliot for framing vera because he wanted him punished for raping her but at the same time that's what ended up causing her death. so fucking tragic. darlene really looked worried for elliot and some times even on the verge of tears, i think she and elliot had to be really really close or at least that's the impression i get from her attitude towards elliot.

It feels like such an impossible situation. Literally the only surefire way to protect her would be to have her run. But how do you convince someone to do that?? I feel terrible for Shayla
