it wasn't supposed to be a reveal to the audience, just a reveal to the character. in one of the first few episodes while he's with his dad they even play a version of Where Is My Mind. the question wasn't "what's happening," but "when will the protagonist figure out what is happening"

its a pretty good show about how a crazy person views the world and what happens when they fulfil their crazy dreams. the main dude is insane and you aren't supposed to identify with him.

i liked it a lot for fun tv and some of the tech references but i lolled quite a lot at the obvious fight club dialog references and lost my poo poo when the piano cover of where is my mind played


i am sure the writer is like "its an homaaaaage"


will watch s2 anyway, its a fun show and not terrible

But is that all part of the main characters hallucination? Or are these things actually happening?

even better, it was a red herring. kept people posting IS MR ROBOT REAL?! drowning out speculation of the real twist.

its happening. the point is that hes nuts and he obliterated the worlds economy because he doesnt understand how it works. he destroys the lives of those around him and he doesnt notice or care because hes trapped in his own paranoid world.

mr robot (the show) comes across as super pretentious sometimes. and I'm not sure what to think about the influences/references/homages thing... and it's really hard to like (or even care) about some characters.

but there was still some legit good episodes. I'm not exactly anxious to watch it, but I can't wait to talk about it here in the 'pos.

this is a stance that the show took time to hint at. I guess if I rewatch the earlier episodes I would see elliote's bullshit monologues in a different light...

the only thing I saw from Silicon Valley is that scene where the guy fights the girl over spaces vs tabs

it was a pretty bad scene


but you guys can still convince me that the show as a whole is good and that scene was a cheap gimmick and not representative of Silicon Valley's usual humor

is silicon valley any good? i watched the first ep and was pretty neutral on it

i am a fan of tj millers non-rapping comedy, so im leaning towards maybe getting thru season 1 at least

it's Mike Judge so there's a whole plot arc about hiring a bunch of sales people first and having them define the product rather than bringing in engine

and a bit about a designer playing mood music while presenting options for 2U server chassis design

unlike most shows now that are 1hr format, each ep is about 22min and each season is 10 ep so i would recommend watching the first season because it isn't a huge time investment.

i personally love the show

i can't remember where i left off but i know i at least saw the entire first season. i really really liked it because it was pretty dark and gritty (hard to explain and i know i'm loving it up) and less kind of office-y and "safe" if that explains anything

I only know that in the single episode I watched they were complaining about static in their hotel room so they covered everything in clear polyethylene sheets (which makes no sense because that would just make the problem infinitely worse)
