The season three premiere did a good job of thrusting us back into the action, reacquainting us with the characters and where they're at in addition to the show's increasingly dark atmosphere. I feel this episode is more about establishing the direction of this season. Or, perhaps, what the show wants us to believe is its direction. With Mr. Robot, that usually turns out to be a bit of a misdirection. Misdirection doesn't have to be a negative, of course. I can think of one or two that are revealed here.
