This is the one show I follow with the closest interest. Where will it go!

A genius hacker with humanitarian motivations, but with a taste for morphine. He chooses between what he thinks might be good versus evil, but then finds that he's dealing with shades of grey. Those he thought might be good guys are willing to kill thousands in order to achieve their goals.

Mr. Robot (Slater) tells our hero (Ellot) that his small group is endeavoring to engineer the largest single incident of a redistribution of wealth in all human history. And E-Corp is their target.

Who, what country, what organization are they aligned with? Is it just them, or are they serving someone else? One wonders.

The Evil Corp (aka E-Corp) certainly fits the popular image of the large unfeeling, inhuman organization bent on making profits regardless of who they trample over to make their gains. Is E-corp really that evil? Is the guy with the Mr. Robot name tag on his shirt even more evil? I gotta stay tuned to find this out.

There was one episode with a sequence of scenes that culminated with Tyrell engaging in some mano/e/mano full on back door sex with some pretty boy he picked up. I could have done without viewing that. The producers could have suggested the incident without turning into such a graphic depiction as they did. On commercial TV?!! Poor taste and unwelcome over here. More Hollywood social engineering taking place as we watch.

Otherwise I'm following closely to see where this season goes. Will the journey be more exciting than the destination. Will the inevitable big reveal astound us or be anti-climatic? Gotta follow to find that out.
