Warning! (Again!) Spoilers! Ahead! READ AT YOUR OWN PERIL
I think the build up of season 2 was extremely slow. From every episode starting from 1 to 4 or 5, I slept halfway through the show. I don't know whether it was actually dead boring or purposely intended to be so just to tell viewers how boring life is when you're living it in a routine. Routine. That is what Elliot's life was at that moment.
When it did build up, it blew over, in the most unimaginable way that I think was possible. I knew something was 'off' about the mundane routine and the people he interacted with, which turns out to be the rose tinted glasses that he put on to shut himself from the reality that he was facing, living in prison.
Season 2 gave us a bit of a back story of how F-society and Mr Robot was founded and how the group members met. So, at least I know how it all started.
My favorite episode was the one where Elliot's life transfigured into an 80's comedy sitcom, complete with 4:3 screen and audience background laughter. The whole family was on a road trip to somewhere. I enjoyed that episode very much probably because there was so much sunlight as compared the normal setting that they are always in.
After the reveal, the story picks up well.
Angela; I still don't know what is her role in all of this. Is she an outsider or an insider? What is her motivation for doing all this and is she on a solo mission for revenge? Is she just into old guys and wanted to live a rich lifestyle. Or is she really the boss in this whole conspiracy?
Dominique; the FBI agent that is obsessed with the case she's on because she doesn't have a life of her own (she admits it). It's kinda sad, but there are real people out there like that. She puts on a brave front when she's at work, but when she's alone, she let her vulnerability be known, only to a virtual assistant called Alexa (isn't that like Amazon's version of Siri?)
Dark Army; crazy Chinese internet mobster gang. The enemy of my enemy is my friend? One thing for sure, the leader has some cross-dressing mental issues. But as I am typing this I am starting to realise that it is probably a clever way to dissociate yourself, when you're the govt minister, you have to have an alias if you are to also run an underground organised gang as your second job. #duakerja
Darlene; if only she kept her shit together. things might've gone in a different direction, as planned.
Elliot/Mr Robot; I don't actually know what his plan is, but for a mental dude to execute such an extensive and elaborate plan and kept it from himself (bi-polar?) is literally, brilliantly mental. The struggle within him (konflik dalam diri) to let Mr Robot dictate his life or to take back control is interesting to look at. I think this is the same case as that cross-dressing Chinese minister. A way to feign innocence when you're executing your master evil plan.
Tyrell; ok this dude is crazy. Who shuts himself from his own family and the world in an abandoned warehouse for three months?
