Thanks for reading.<br /><br />Mikey, I understand the overwrought emotions. As a writer of reviews, this is basically the best kind of comment I could have hoped for. Processing and describing a show and my thoughts on it as accurately as I can is always the best I hope to do, and your words make me feel like I've succeeded, at least with Mr. Robot. It is certainly one of the best shows I've seen, and I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who really got something out of it. As much of a sleeper hit as it was, I still feel like it isn't talked about nearly enough. I hope its audience and notoriety continue to grow over the years.

I’m not so good with words - nor taking the time to find them - but your reviews perfectly capsulated all of my racing thoughts and enabled me to digest and organise what the hell I’d just experienced as the credits rolled, every time. That show was an absolute rollercoaster and has restored my faith in serialised television as an artistic medium. I never thought any product of the media could affect me the way this show has. I felt compelled to finally comment because I got the sense we feel the same way about this show, and that is a beautiful thing. Forgive the overwrought emotions, I’ve just finished the finale and not long since stopped sobbing.<br />Now to design a tattoo and start the show from the beginning again!

But great as it was, I am not sorry to see the show end because it tied up its story so coherently. I like it when a show knows how it wants to conclude well in advance and executes its ending in a convincing way. I much prefer that to the soap opera model of television show where they just keep spinning more plotlines until they run out of steam. I was surprised how positive the ending was given how dark the journey has been. The only thing that seemed a little odd to me was Dom being shuffled off to Budapest. Honestly, I was expecting her plane to blow up.<br /><br />Maybe it was because the recap before whoami included the episode where Eliot was trapped in a fantasy land with his family by Mr. Robot, but I never thought for an instant that we were in Whiterose's alternate reality. I also felt the fact that it almost perfectly echoed the very first episode with Tyrrell Wellick visiting Allsafe was a clue to when this fantasy world was constructed. I don't think any of the fsociety members appeared in the fantasy world.<br /><br />In a way, it's a shame we never learned if Whiterose's machine could work, but it seems like too big a science fiction leap for a show that's pretty well-grounded in current technology. And though the "Many Worlds Interpretation" is a perfectly valid way of looking at quantum mechanics it's simply bizarre and crazy to think you could somehow build a machine to select a reality that would be exactly the way you wanted it. Far more likely is that it would just be different and strange in random ways, like the alternate world in the Man in the High Castle.magrittenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-13727070417811335142020-03-19T01:57:07.369-04:002020-03-19T01:57:07.369-04:00NomadUK, I agree 100%.
