Elliot has been broken for a long time, but "Successor" was the first Mr. Robot episode that truly showed everyone else around him is, too. Go to Full Review Vinnie Mancuso Observer 08/25/2016
Something that Mr. Robot's second season has pulled off masterfully is demonstrating what an absolute damn horror show it is to feel surrounded on all sides, something pulled off perfectly with the tension building this episode around Trent and Mobley.

Given the predilection for illusion in this drama, it's difficult to say whether Darlene has always been violent or has only now been pushed to it be events. Either way, she's in deep now and this show is quickly running short of heroes. Go to Full Review Charles Mudede The Stranger (Seattle, WA) 08/22/2018
To be honest, I have lost some interest in the show's plot and now simply enjoy its many beautiful and magical moments. Go to Full Review Jordan Alsaqa TV Equals 08/26/2016
What I enjoyed so much about this episode is that it finally put a stronger spotlight on Mobley and Trenton. Go to Full Review Matt Brennan Paste Magazine 08/25/2016
