Mr. Robot 4.01 Recap: “Remove All Emotion and You Will Do Just Fine”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 09 Oct 2019 12:00:47 +0000

In the two years since Mr. Robot aired its last season, Rami Malek became a movie star and won an Oscar, and creator Sam Esmail seemed to move on to a new series on Amazon. Since they’ve reunited to finish their original story with one final season, I can’t help wondering if their hearts are...

2016 Emmy Winners

Josh Zyber — Mon, 19 Sep 2016 21:00:42 +0000

The Emmy Awards aired on Sunday and I barely even noticed. Once again, my interest in this ceremony was minimal. Nonetheless, I feel obligated to mention here that they happened. I watched Jimmy Kimmel’s opening monologue, which was pretty funny, and walked into the room a couple of times here and there to catch a...

‘Mr. Robot’ 2.01 & 2.02 Recap: “Control Is an Illusion”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 19 Jul 2016 16:00:16 +0000

One of last year’s most daring and most challenging TV shows, ‘Mr. Robot’ was a very unusual change of pace for programming on the USA Network. Nonetheless, the network execs were so pleased with it that they renewed the series for a second season before the first episode even aired. Fortunately, it proved successful enough...

2016 Golden Globe Winners

Josh Zyber — Mon, 11 Jan 2016 16:00:00 +0000

It used to be, in years past, that the big winners at the Golden Globes were often in sync with the Oscars that followed and could be considered a strong predictor. That isn’t necessarily the case anymore. Basically, nobody takes the Globes seriously, least of all master-of-ceremonies Ricky Gervais, who returned for his fourth time...

‘Mr. Robot’ Pilot Recap: “What I Wouldn’t Give to Be Normal”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 30 Jun 2015 19:00:16 +0000

Domo arigato. Last week, the USA Network premiered a very promising new drama series called ‘Mr. Robot’. Despite the title, no, the show has nothing to do with robots. (Ironically, for that you need to watch the new AMC series ‘Humans’.) What it does have is a very fascinating premise and lead character. Rami Malek...
