It's really a shame to see the Lee Thompkins character reduced to nothing more than a madwoman in the back half of this season. There used to be layers there, but now there's just exaggerated emotional freakouts. Go to Full Review Vinnie Mancuso Observer May 16, 2017
Until Steve Harvey becomes the Pope, there is not an actor-to-role combination better than Wong and Strange, except for maybe Wong and the transgender cyber-terrorist he plays on Mr. Robot. Go to Full Review Amanda Bell Entertainment Weekly May 16, 2017

3.5/5
