Jenna Scherer Rolling Stone 07/28/2016
This week's hour-long episode, entitled "eps2.2_init1.asec," (because Mr. Robot, people) is about as bright and shiny as this show is ever likely to get. We even see a real smile out of Elliot - no Adderall involved. Go to Full Review Emily St. James Vox 07/28/2016
The first few episodes... have done a good job of setting up the rest of this world outside of Elliot's paranoid viewpoint. That was probably a necessary thing for Mr. Robot to do. But the show needs him at its center, not dithering away on the edges. Go to Full Review Paul MacInnes Guardian 07/28/2016
Elliot is back in. A return to hacking was inevitable, of course, but here creator Sam Esmail lays out why it has to be so. Go to Full Review Randy Dankievitch TV Over Mind 02/11/2020

Hopefully, a return to hacking will put the pieces of Mr. Robot back in the places they belong. Go to Full Review Sean Fennell PopMatters 08/01/2016
6/10
There are times which the long runtimes of the episodes and endless stalemates can become a little tiresome, but if Mr. Robot is able to pay off on all the exquisite build-up, then it'll surely be worthwhile. Go to Full Review Jordan Alsaqa TV Equals 07/29/2016
Watching Elliot fight so hard last episode was great; here, he'd lost his fight, and it was a more lethargic hour for it. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
