Chalk me as someone who felt the show lost me with season 2. It seemed to me that it got way, way too cute with its silly grand conspiracies and focused on a plethora of characters I categorically did not give a poo poo about. The nadir being the episode with Angela and that kid at the computer. It would take a pretty strong hype zeitgeist to get me back on board for a third season.

I thought season 2 was fantastic, but I can see why people wish it got on with poo poo.

Season 2 bought into its own hype. It's not that any one individual episode is necessarily bad, the season was just not coherent enough and there was no closure to its ending at all unlike season 1.

I watched the first episode of Bosch last night. Not bad, enough to hook me in for the next ep.

zoux posted:Were people mad about s2 because the internet speculation machine sussed out the twist early It certainly didn't help. The main issue with season 2 is that nothing really happens. The character work is so great, but I felt like I was waiting for the story to get started the entire time and it just never did.

People getting mad because they engage in months of speculation and thousand-monkey their way to being right is one of the oddest TV-fan interactions to me.

I don't get it all. I've never been the type who tries to figure out the mystery before the detective but like, if you're going to get mad if you were right then why the hell are you doing it?

In other news, Snowfall is rad and one of the prettiest shows on TV. The lighting game is mind-boggling.

It was more that it wasn't very hard to figure out at all. It was pretty drat obvious that Elliot was either in an institution or in prison from the first episode. Then they dragged the reveal out for over half the season.

I never figure out twists anyway so I'd've probably been surprised had it not been spoilt for me (by me). I didn't see the reveal in the Village coming either

It's really a terrible system meant to drown out and demean the worth of women, and it's so loving strong everywhere and despite the year has not changed much. I'd like to call myself a feminist, as much as I can as a dude, but its something we've all got to recognize is happening around us, instead of feeling so smug about another famous rear end in a top hat being shown to be what he is. People still aren't giving a poo poo about the people actually being affected by this. https://twitter.com/Punksthetic/status/916374274457423872

I liked Mr Robot season 2, it fills the void left by Rubicon, and though I'm describing it badly I'm pretty sure I'd watch paint dry if the soundtrack was vaguely menacing tension ratcheting electronic music with the occasional edgy thoughts rant voiceover. Transcripts swiped from reddit, spoilered just in case someone cares: Elliott in S2E3 about God posted:"Is that what God does? He helps? Tell me, why didn't God help my innocent friend who died for no reason while the guilty ran free? Okay. Fine. Forget the one offs. How about the countless wars declared in his name? Okay. Fine. Let's skip the random, meaningless murder for a second, shall we? How about the racist, sexist, phobia soup we've all been drowning in because of him? And I'm not just talking about Jesus. I'm talking about all organized religion. Exclusive groups created to manage control. A dealer getting people hooked on the drug of hope. His followers, nothing but addicts who want their hit of bullshit to keep their dopamine of ignorance. Addicts. Afraid to believe the truth. That there's no order. There's no power. That all religions are just metastasizing mind worms, meant to divide us so it's easier to rule us by the charlatans that wanna run us. All we are to them are paying fanboys of their poorly-written sci-fi franchise. If I don't listen to my imaginary friend, why the gently caress should I listen to yours? People think their worship's some key to happiness. That's just how he owns you. Even I'm not crazy enough to believe that distortion of reality. So gently caress God. He's not a good enough scapegoat for me." Mr. Robot in Times Square S1E10 posted:"Is any of it real? I mean, look at this. Look at it! A world built on fantasy. Synthetic emotions in the form of pills. Psychological warfare in the form of advertising. Mind-altering chemicals in the form of... food! Brainwashing seminars in the form of media. Controlled isolated bubbles in the form of social networks. Real? You want to talk about reality? We haven't lived in anything remotely close to it since the turn of the century. We turned it off, took out the batteries, snacked on a bag of GMOs while we tossed the remnants in the ever-expanding Dumpster of the human condition. We live in branded houses trademarked by corporations built on bipolar numbers jumping up and down on digital displays, hypnotizing us into the biggest slumber mankind has ever seen. You have to dig pretty deep, kiddo, before you can find anything real. We live in a kingdom of bullshit. A kingdom you've lived in for far too long. So don't tell me about not being real. I'm no less real than the loving beef patty in your Big Mac." Ahh that's the stuff. I need to watch the new season premiere, didn't have a chance last night.

I still haven't gotten around to S2 and with all the talk of world building and setup for S3 it feels like I might just be better off waiting until at least S3 is over. I enjoy these shows like Orphan Black way more in a binge than I do in a week-by-week, season-by-season viewing. And there's never a shortage of other things to watch.

I have to be honest this sort of self congratulatory freshman insights is what is making it really hard to rewatch the first season, not to mention get into the second. Fight Club at least managed to be objective about its characters, but my growing suspicion is that the guy behind Mr. Robot fully backs the ideas and ways of its protagonist.

Man I couldn't get through S1 of Mr Robot and just skimming those quotes reminds me of why. Not in a way that says it's bad, just, man, I don't want to deal with that. The depressed cartoon horse man is enough downer tv for me.

No, I know, especially since it's supposed to be Fight Club homage. But those quotes just read obnoxious to me. It's a big part of why I've been waiting for the right mood to strike to watch the show, one where I won't roll my eyes into the back of my head and instead enjoy the ride. Like it reads to me as someone who took Fight Club seriously and took the wrong message from it, which I'm sure is the point anyway but y'know.

Mr. Robot is a pretty great show, and the fan base and the pop culture analysis of it is pretty loving obnoxious. I love the show, and I can't imagine taking part in the giant zietgeist of trying to figure it out. Like with most things I like, I avoid the the fanbase as much as possible while still discussing the show a little bit.
