Mr. Robot: eps1.2_d3bug.mkv (2015)
Season 1, Episode 3
7/10
More of a slow burn type of episode, but leaves you hungry for more nonetheless.

This episode was packed with character development. Tyrell took center stage for the first time. We get a very interesting glimpse into his life. Everything seems to be about power for him.

Rami Malek continues to kill it as Elliot. In this episode, he tries to lead a normal life. This led to some of the series' funniest moments so far. The soundtrack when he lists the things that make a normal life was absolutely brilliant, and really added to the hilarity. It was also a really clever moment when Sheila interrupted his inner monologue. Up until now, she has been a nothing character, not particularly deep or developed. In this one, we see a bit of who she is, and why she's perfect for Elliot.

But the highlight of this episode is Christian Slater as Mr. Robot. He steals every scene he's in. He really feels like he could end up being the hero or the villain. Only time will tell. His actions lead to a shocking reveal late in the episode.
