What a badass show! only 7 episodes deep. Really how the story so far and all the hacker approach and networking thats portrayed in the show.
Can't wait to catch the 2600 reference in episode 7.

I watched season 1 and then started 2, but after episode 3 or 4 it really got weird, way to psycho thriller for me. Does it normalize or get weirder? My wife was completely done so I'll have to watch myself. -

Completely agree. The first season was awesome, but the second season felt like a different show. I had to stop watching it. -

Same, season 1 was fantastic. Season 2 got too weird and was playing too many games. I stopped watching.When you go the extra mile, there's no traffic.

I'm still watching, but Season 2 is definitely not as good. I loved the technical hacks and social engineering in the first season. Season 2 is out there, but hey, I'm vested in the characters now. -

The producer, writer took the liberties to no longer use the director and decided to direct himself. Sam Esmail(SP)? Total fail if you ask me.....
Sounds like a power monger, we've seen this rodeo before in IT, haven't we gang?

If you didn't enjoy it and want something a little more Hardware/Geeky I'd recommend checking out Halt & Catch fire.

Totally agree, season 2 later on ruined a great show. Hopefully S3 will be more like S1 -

I read that they are realigning it back to tech oriented for Season 3. -

Halt and Catch Fire is also good but a little dry. If you can stomach the high-cheese content, Christian Slaters TV show "Breaking In" had a decent first season.

Season1 was GREAT!!
Season 2 just got into this whole split personality thing blah....blah....... I just couldn't force myself to watch.When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened."

I haven't watched season 2 of Mr. Robot yet, but I did like season 1. Another interesting show is Black Mirror. It's a techie Twightlight Zone.

That may be my next binge watch. I think Stranger Things was one of the best I've seen in a while.... The OA was pretty interesting but definitely weird. -

Show was awesome. The 2nd season just messed with your head . It almost engulfs you into the mind of a schizo hacker.
As far as tech, Silicon Valley is still my favorite. -

Season 1 drew you in and Season 2 takes you for a whirlwind. I think to understand the show a little better, you have to have the same narrative as the main character Elliot. That's how I interpreted the show.
Season 2 was still hacking oriented though. I personally love this show because not only does it satisfy my tech side but also keeps me entertained with the character development and direction the story is going. -

Silicon Valley is great except for the episode where he set the box down on the delete key during the FTP session and deleted most of the p*rn company's data. The episode was hilarious, but that highly impossible action just pissed me off.
