History YMMV / MrRobot

* TheUntwist: A lot of people saw [[spoiler: Mr. Robot being a delusion]] coming. Elliot accuses the viewer of knowing all along. This theory was heavily discussed by pretty much everyone from the beginning since Elliot points out that he's [[spoiler: prone to delusions]] and [[spoiler: he and Mr Robot are never seen interacting with anyone]] at the same time. Because of this many people dismissed the theory due to how obvious it was.

AlternateCharacterInterpretation:

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation:

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Is Tyrell truly just a [[PsychopathicManchild psychotic]] CorruptCorporateExecutive, or do all of his mental problems stem from being the HenpeckedHusband to his unhinged, manipulative wife? Later episodes seem to hint at the latter.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Is Tyrell a CorruptCorporateExecutive CompleteMonster PsychoForHire or is all of his mental problems actually the result of being a HenpeckedHusband to a LadyMacBeth who has been driven insane by the toxic culture of E Corp?
** Is Elliot a good hearted but mentally troubled man out to save the world or is he a PsychopathicManchild striking out at society because he blames it for the death of his father?
** Is Darlene the actual leader of Fsociety while Mr. Robot is just the face? Or is Darlene [[spoiler: letting her brother take all the credit because she really does worship him as well as believe he's a hero?]]
** Is Terry Colby actually remorseful over Angela's mother's death and trying to help her the only way he can or a ManipulativeBastard who fakes being TheAtoner to get the charges against him dropped?

** Elliot's [[MushroomSamba withdrawal hallucination]] in the fourth episode.
** Tyrell follows the wife of his business rival, Scott Knowles, into her bathroom, calmly walks in while she urinates, and silently looms over her in an act of sexual dominance. After a few charged moments, [[ArentYouGoingToRavishMe she yields and changes her posture to expose herself to him]]. He declines her unspoken offer, [[AffablyEvil thanks her for the evening]], and leaves.
** Elliot finding [[spoiler: [[KilledOffForReal Shayla's body]]]] in the trunk of the car. His inner narration completely cuts out, leaving only [[NothingIsScarier uncharacteristic silence while the camera follows him for a while instead of showing what he found]]. It takes almost a minute before we're shown [[spoiler: the blood, dashing all hope that she's just unconscious.]]
** Tyrell and Scott's wife from the above example meet on the roof of an office building while Scott is celebrating his promotion to CTO, the job Tyrell has been shooting for. After a brief talk, Tyrell initiates a passionate make-out session, and they both fall to the floor while romantic music kicks on. [[spoiler: [[AxCrazy Then he slowly strangles her to death]] [[SoundtrackDissonance while the music continues.]]]]
** Elliot's UnreliableNarrator status gets taken UpToEleven in the eighth episode, [[spoiler: where he finds out that Mr. Robot is his father, Darlene is his sister, and he may have erased his own memories in the same CD-burning fashion he's dealt with everyday hacking jobs. We can't trust ''anything'' he sees, hears, or says anymore.]] Gets worse in the following episode, when [[spoiler: we learn that Mr. Robot isn't even real and Elliot's father is still dead. Every time Mr. Robot roughed Elliot up, including tossing him from a pier in the second episode, was Elliot doing it to himself.]]
** Near the end of the ninth episode, [[spoiler: Tyrell comes to visit Elliot, knowing that he is responsible for the hacking and desiring to be let into the loop. When Elliot initially proves uncooperative, Tyrell [[OhCrap puts on rubber gloves]] and [[TranquilFury quietly talks about how he felt while strangling Sarah Knowles]].]]

** Tyrell is full of these moments. At one point, he follows the wife of someone he is having dinner with into her bathroom, calmly walks in while she urinates, and stands in front of her for an uncomfortably long amount of time while she stares at him in shock. The scene is framed like he could do any number of [[RapeAsDrama vile]] [[AxCrazy things]] to her. [[spoiler: He simply says [[AffablyEvil "thank you for a lovely evening"]] and walks out.]]
*** [[spoiler: After a couple beats, he CTO's wife actually reclines back and pushes her arms away to give Welleck an unobstructed view of her private parts. She also does this with a welcoming and seductive look, and looks a little disappointed when he leaves the room.]]
