The first series of Mr Robot was great, 5 stars esp the first half; the 2nd seemed forced and too tricksy postmodern, but I gave it 4 stars - just; in this 3rd series, however, the endless non-plot about multiple personalities and mind games gets, in a word, boring. More than once I found myself reading my book and watching this at the same time. Time to put this series out of its long, slow misery.
The acting is great and the music choices superb. I got very tired of the blonde Angela though, who is so wet and annoying I just cannot believe she could do anything competently, esp for any security service or dark army or the Teletubbies too.
The focus on Chinese empire-builders is spot on and I hope to see more exposing of the amoral greedy Chinese empire in future movies and TV series, but here it becomes silly, cartoonish and so unbelievable.
Credibility is strained at every turn of this series now. I am glad Remi Malek has moved on to better, less post modern dross things.
3 stars
