Mr. Robot - Season 4 - Review

After Elliot has reversed his hack from season 1, he refuses to speak the audience the way he used to in the previous seasons. In fact, he lets Mr. Robot do the talking, who, as you’ve probably guessed it, is mean and grumpy. Elliot is angry and is deadset on bringing Whiterose down.

His work is diligent now that he and Mr. Robot are using the abandoned building of Allsafe as their headquarters. However, unlike the classic fight between good and evil, the show excels once again in bringing yet another revelation to light about Elliot’s past that shocks the audience and the critics alike. Even more, the last 3 episodes brought another plot twist that couldn’t have ended the show on a high note.

The remaining characters, along with Elliot and his sister Darlene, try to bring down Whiterose by knowing where her money is kept, which is revealed to be in the Cyprus National Bank, so they formulate a plan to break into the building and hack the servers.

The episode is a great example of how artfully this show depicted hacks. Not a word was uttered throughout the episode apart from the few words we see on Elliot or Darlene’s phone.

Later, the dark army figures out what Elliot and Darlene have done and try to hunt them down, but Elliot is kidnapped by Fernando Vera, the drug dealer back from season 1, who did an astounding performance in episode 7. This episode is probably one of the best episodes of all time, as it was filmed in a sequence of acts, just like a play.
