1. ›Bad characters in Mr. Robot: Fernando Vera@netflixr1649d

   Keep in mind that this is completely my personal opinion. Mr. Robot is a series that has "kind of" held my attention but also one that I feel as though was dragged on too long and the latter seasons are a bit boring as it seems there really isn't much story left to tell when things get bogged down in backstory rather than progressing towards the final objective.

   Although it won't be intentional there are likely spoilers ahead

   src

   In season one and to a lessor degree in season two, there is a real ambiance of mystery as it is quite difficult for anyone to really predict where the story is going. The big reveal at the end of season one as far as Christian Slater's character is concerned was a really clever move on the part of the writers and director, and even though it was strange and kind of difficult to believe, it had a sort of 6th Sense way about it in that up until that point we had never really noticed that lack of interaction that Mr. Robot actually has with any characters other than Elliot

   src

   I feel as though this was artfully done and at least for me, I had no idea that Mr. Robot was merely an alternate personality for Elliot until it was seriously put right in front of us and was obvious. I personally love it when directors are able to trick me and then a shocking moment happens to reveal something that was right in front of me but I never noticed just like with Bruce Willis' character in 6th Sense.

   However, I really feel as though as the seasons carried on that this series went down a bad path of stretching the series out too much just like so many others have done in the past. In order to keep things fresh new characters have to be introduced and some of them were good, others were not so good. I think the worst character that we are introduced to in the series final season would be the Dominican drug-dealing gangster, Fernando Vera.

   src

   While he is considered a "main" character he isn't in much of the show until much later on. Vera is merely a drug dealer that gets Elliot and others certain prescriptions that first help Elliot work and later the drugs are used to keep Mr. Robot (Slater) out of Elliot's head. I don't know what inspired the writers to include him as a major character in season 4, but I feel it was a bad choice.

   He and his two gangster friends come to the forefront in the latter episodes of season 4 and their entire presence is seriously unnecessary. We spend 1.5 episodes using them merely to bring out Elliot's difficult past with his father and I really think there could have been a lot of ways that this could have been handled better.

   For one thing, I don't think that Elliot Villar's portrayal of Fernando Vera is a very realistic impersonation of a high-level gangster or even any living human being. His street-talk method of doing basically anything is over the top and while I have never been a gangster, I have a difficult time believing that anyone would follow him or look up to him as a leader yet that is exactly how he is presented in season 4.

   src

   I actually left the room during episode 7 or 8 I think it was where Fernando goes on this excessively long story about a character he calls "little bitch" and how this person had gotten fed up with bullies at a young age. I guess this is supposed to be a retelling of his own past but it also doesn't have much bearing on the actual main story and therefore it gets lumped into the "filler" section in my mind. Honestly, there are a number of ways that the true meaning behind the real "Mr. Robot" could have been brought to the forefront without involving this guy at all.

   I don't want to call him a horrible actor, but I believe he was out of his depth in this role. I had never heard of Elliot Villar prior to this but as it turns out he is a stage actor and I guess that kind of makes sense about how his performance is so exaugurated because that is quite common with stage actors that try to get involved in TV and films.

   I don't think I am alone in this feeling that unnecessary characters were introduced into the series in order to stretch it out over many seasons and if you look at the dramatic drop in viewership I think we can successfully discern that a lot of other people lost interest in the series altogether over time. This happened at the same time that Rami Malek's career was seriously taking off too. I guess he didn't have enough star-power to carry the show.

   src

   There was a bullshit explanation as to why they were wrapping the series up permanently after the 4th season but the real reason is probably because just over 400,000 viewers isn't enough to justify the existence of a large-scale production.

   There are some good characters, even great characters that were introduced to keep the series going but the sad reality of this once great series is that they did the same thing that so many other series do: They kept it going too long and because of this the viewers wandered away. Why so many series do this remains a mystery to me because they don't benefit from it either. I think the producers should have seen the writing on the wall in season 2 when their viewership was nearly halved.

   In a way I kind of feel bad for Elliot Villar because he might have thought this was his big break but in the end his portrayal of Fernando has more than likely hurt his career. Back to the stage with you I guess!

   On a side note I can't in good faith recommend this series for anyone. It's entirely too long and if they had just kept it at 2 seasons the way it was looking like they might (and should have) it might have had a decent legacy. Greed has once again ruined a pretty fantastic story.

2. ›The best part of Mr. Robot so far (SPOILERS)@netflixr1734d

   I watched the first series of Mr. Robot years ago and I don't remember why, but I lost interest. I think it wasn't on Netflix at the time and I was torrenting everything at that point in my life. Therefore, watching anything was kind of a pain in the butt because it involved remembering what episode you were on, a USB stick, and other such stuff that really isn't that difficult but i am going to complain about anyway.

   Big Spoilers ahead!

   I have thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Robot but as it gets towards the end of season 3 (which is where I am now) I see the series is kind of winding down and perhaps even running out of ideas. It's starting to get very ridiculous the way that all series that appear to be built to just go on forever and aren't based on any already existing story, tend to go.

   [src](https://techkalzen.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/mr-robot.jpg)

   There have been a lot of good sequences in this series that lead to a "gotcha!" moment and these were really surprising such as when you find out that Eliot's father is actually a figment of his imagination towards the end of season 1. The best part of it in my mind happened in season 2 because they really make this entire sequence believable and when the big reveal happens towards the end it was just fantastic. It involves when Elliot has a new routine that keeps Mr. Robot, his father, from appearing in his life.

   src

   In his routine, his mother wakes him up early in the morning, and he goes and has breakfast with a friend of his friend, then goes to watch basketball where he routinely gets chatted up by a friendly guy named Ray (played by Craig Robinson, which is always a treat) and then later he goes to have the rest of his meals with the same friend he has breakfast with his friend Leon and then goes back to his mother's house at the end of each day where he records everything in his journal before going to sleep.

   src

   It is because of this routine that he is able to keep his father, Mr. Robot, from appearing until eventually it doesn't work anymore. Then a bizarre sequence occurs where some white supremacists corner him in an alleyway and beat him up because he owes them money for fucking something up by his hacking but then one of them pulls his pants down like he is going to rape Elliot. Which doesn't make a lot of sense given the context.

   src

   It is at this point that a big reveal unravels that has been going on for several episodes and after you see waht is going on it kind of makes you feel a little bit dopey for not realizing something was a bit unusual about his routine each and every day and this was a wonderful piece of storytelling on the part of the writers.

   src

   Turns out that Elliot is in prison and his routine of eating with the same person at the same time and going to the basketball court every day isn't a routine that he has prepared, it is one that is kind of enforced on him by virtue of the fact that he is in jail. The rest of the surroundings are just figment's of Elliot's imagination which at this point we, the audience are well aware is pretty powerful.

   This all takes place in Season 2 across several episodes and I think it might be the highlight of the entire series for me thus far. I honestly had no idea what was really going on the entire time.

   If you saw this I'd like to know your thoughts about it. In my mind season 2 was the best season and maybe the peaked too early because season 3 has been a bit of a letdown since 2 was so amazing.

   I know there are only 4 seasons in total, so I guess I'll have to wait and see if they get good again!

   Un mundo de ensueño/A dream world

   El mundo siempre se ha encontrado dominado por la economía, las finanzas, los impuestos, las inversiones, en fin, todo lo relacionado con la capital para sustentar las exportaciones e importaciones que nos ayudaran a sobrevivir. Desafortunadamente todas las personas terminamos siendo esclavos de nuestra propia economía (deudas, hipotecas, rentas, etc.), como se diría por ahí: dime como esta tu estado financiero y te diré la forma en que te gusta gastar.

   The world has always been dominated by the economy, finances, taxes, investments, in short, everything related to capital to sustain exports and imports that will help us survive. Unfortunately we all end up being slaves of our own economy (debts, mortgages, rents, etc.), as they say: tell me how is your financial state and I will tell you the way you like to spend.

   Hoy les hablaré de una serie que funciona como un espejo a nivel personal y social, percatándonos que el origen de todos los problemas esta justamente en el reflejo de nuestro espejo, pero como todo ser humano, nunca afrontaremos tal hecho.

   Today I will talk about a series that works as a mirror at a personal and social level, realizing that the origin of all problems is precisely in the reflection of our mirror, but as every human being, we will never face that fact.

   

   La historia se centra en un chico experto en programación que se encuentra trabajando dentro de una reconocida empresa que ofrece sus servicios en seguridad cibernética. Inconforme con las tareas realizadas en su trabajo, el habilidoso joven buscará nuevas formas de entretenimiento y práctica para implementar sus propias habilidades.

   The story focuses on a young programming expert who is working in a well-known company that offers its services in cyber security. Dissatisfied with the tasks performed in his job, the skilled young man will seek new forms of entertainment and practice to implement his own skills.

   Descubriendo las vulnerabilidades de la tecnología, el joven programador aprovechará las oportunidades para obtener el lado oscuro de cualquier usuario dentro de internet. Ya sea para conocer mucho mejor a las personas que lo rodean o simplemente para tratar de que las personas sean lo más honestas posibles consigo mismas.

   Discovering the vulnerabilities of technology, the young programmer will take advantage of opportunities to get the dark side of any user within the internet. Either to get to know the people around him much better or simply to try to get people to be as honest as possible with themselves.

   Pero el protagonista seguía insatisfecho con las acciones que tomaba, quería realizar algo mucho más impactante que cambiara el rumbo de la sociedad, dejar una huella en cada persona para que lo recordaran y sentir el verdadero cambio social. El problema era que no contaba con el apoyo necesario para sus proyectos, al mismo tiempo que tenía un severo problema con el consumo de sustancias tóxicas, lo que provocaba un importante y severo desequilibrio mental, pero a pesar de ello, su capacidad de análisis, inteligencia y estrategia, lo llegaría a equilibrar a la perfección.

   But the protagonist was still dissatisfied with the actions he was taking, he wanted to do something much more impactful that would change the course of society, leave a mark on each person so that they would remember him and feel the real social change. The problem was that he did not have the necessary support for his projects, at the same time he had a severe problem with the consumption of toxic substances, which caused an important and severe mental imbalance, but despite this, his capacity for analysis, intelligence and strategy, would come to balance it to perfection.

   Basado en su estudio de campo, el protagonista descubrirá el verdadero conflicto social que se presentaba. ¿Qué pasaría si todos tus problemas económicos desaparecieran sin dejar rastro? Puede sonar tentador al pensarlo, pero si la economía se considera como la base principal de toda sociedad, al desaparecerla por completo algo le sucederá a toda la pirámide que se encontraba encima de ella.

   Based on his field study, the protagonist will discover the real social conflict at hand. What would happen if all your economic problems disappeared without a trace? It may sound tempting to think about it, but if the economy is considered the main base of any society, by disappearing it completely something will happen to the whole pyramid above it.

   ¿Terminará siendo el malo de la serie? Dicha respuesta será individual, basándonos en lo que la serie nos enseña. Puedes estar a favor o en contra de sus ideas, hacer algo mucho mejor, evitar, modificar o simplemente no preocuparte por los demás y seguir tu camino. Personalmente considero que la serie tiene un mensaje y una interpretación abierta, todo dependerá de que lado de la moneda te identifica, como manejas la situación y si te consideras o no un esclavo de las finanzas.

   ¿Will he end up being the bad guy in the series? That answer will be individual, based on what the series teaches us. You can be for or against his ideas, do something much better, avoid, modify or simply not care about others and go your own way. Personally I consider that the series has a message and an open interpretation, everything will depend on which side of the coin you identify with, how you handle the situation and whether or not you consider yourself a slave to finances.

   Aunque es demasiado sorprendente ver como el protagonista ejecuta sus técnicas de hackeo para conseguir el arrepentimiento como si fuera un verdugo; el verdadero significado aquí dependerá de la percepción utilizada. A favor o en contra, tú decides. Aún no he visto la segunda temporada de la serie, pero por el momento me mantengo neutra ante los miles de posibilidades donde pueda dirigirse esta extraordinaria serie.

   Although it is too surprising to see how the protagonist executes his hacking techniques to achieve repentance as if he were an executioner; the true meaning here will depend on the perception used. For or against, you decide. I have yet to watch the second season of the series, but for the moment I remain neutral to the myriad possibilities where this extraordinary series may be headed.

   La serie la encontrarán dentro de la plataforma de Prime Video, no es reciente, pero sí que te orilla a filosofar sobre tu presente y tu futuro. Gracias por leer mi post y hasta la próxima.

   Atentamente: Lumpy :3

   You will find the series within the Prime Video platform, it is not recent, but it does make you philosophize about your present and your future. Thanks for reading my post and see you next time.

   OPINIÓN

   Mr Robot es una de las mejores series de la década, y no solo lo digo yo, es considerada por muchos como una serie digna de ver y recordar, fue estrenada en el 2015 y su ultima temporada fue lanzada el año pasado 2019. Llegue a ver Mr Robot hace unos años pero le puse pausa por estar ocupado con la universidad, luego de ver que salio su ultima temporada me anime a verla, como no podía recordar todos los acontecimientos que sucedieron tuve que vérmela de nuevo, porque para ver esta serie debes tener la mente clara porque sino te tragara vivo y tendrás que verte toda la serie en un dia.

   
   

   Puede verse como una simple serie de hackers terroristas, pero es mucho más que eso, cada temporada se centra en una manera peculiar de narración y aunque el objetivo de los personajes es el mismo en las cuatro temporadas pareciera que se enfrentan a algo diferente en cada episodio. Mr Robot es una pequeña y asombrosa caja de Pandora, al abrirla solo conseguirás caos, estrés, pánico para que al final llegue la esperanza y te de un respiro.

   
   

   La serie cuenta con 45 capítulos, 4 temporadas y una marca en el alma que te durara toda la vida, queriendo saber más a cada paso que se da, quedando maravillado con la forma en que suceden las cosas y como se conecta el pasado con el presente, hackers, drogas, psicosis, terror, va más alla de lo que te esperas, esta más que dicho pero igual forma diré que es una serie totalmente recomendada.

   

   OPINION

   Mr Robot is one of the best series of the decade, and not only I say it, it is considered by many as a series worth seeing and remembering, it was released in 2015 and its last season was launched last year 2019. I saw Mr Robot a few years ago but I put a break for being busy with the university, after seeing that its last season came out encouraged me to see it, as I could not remember all the events that happened I had to see it again, because to see this series You must have a clear mind because otherwise it will swallow you alive and you will have to see the whole series in one day.

   
   

   It can be seen as a simple series of terrorist hackers, but it is much more than that, each season focuses on a peculiar way of narration and although the objective of the characters is the same in all four seasons it seems that they face something different in each episode. Mr Robot is an amazing little Pandora's box, when you open it you will only get chaos, stress, panic so that in the end hope comes and gives you a break.

   
   

   The series has 45 chapters, 4 seasons and a mark in your soul that will last a lifetime, wanting to know more with each step that is taken, being amazed at the way things happen and how the past connects with the present, hackers, drugs, psychosis, terror, it goes beyond what you expect, this more than said but in the same way I will say that it is a totally recommended serie.

   Una serie que me enamoro apenas la vi pero que no pude terminar sino hasta ahora, espero que les guste los que no llegaron a verla y los que la terminaron ¿Que piensan al respecto? Espero les haya gustado el post y gracias por leerme, nos leemos en otra ocasión.

   A series that I fell in love with as soon as I saw it but that I could not finish until now, I hope those who did not see it like it and those who finished it. What do you think about it? I hope you liked the post and thank you for reading me, we will read another time.

5. ›Mr Robot - 408 Request Timeout: a "normal" episode but always great@serialfiller2404d

   

   

   
   

   We leave behind a couple of episodes that we will remember for a long time. Different in style, united by an absurd quality of staging. A silent but adrenaline-filled episode in which not even a word was uttered, followed by a static, almost theatrical, episode with a single location to serve as a backdrop for a revelation we had been waiting for years and which came as a blow to the heart at its peak of an unforgettable ascending climax. The eighth episode of Mr. Robot's final season returns to run on "normal" tracks, although an episode in the Sam Esmail series may be called normal. Normal in his story, more linear than the others, and in style, here too less focused on aesthetics and technique and more on trying to be essential for the spectator at home. Even in a normal episode there is no lack of technical glimpses of Esmail, from a machine that rotates on the faces of the 3 women protagonists of at least half episode in close-ups on an increasingly convincing Rami Malek.

   

   
   

   Ci lasciamo alle spalle una coppia di episodi che ricorderemo a lungo. Diversi nello stile, uniti da una qualità assurda della messa in scena. Un episodio silenzioso ma adrenalinico nel quale neppure una parola è stata proferita, seguito da un episodio statico, quasi teatrale, con un'unica location a fare da sfondo ad una rivelazione che attendavamo da anni e che è arrivata come un colpo al cuore al culmine di un climax ascendente indimenticabile. L'ottavo episodio della stagione conclusiva di Mr. Robot torna a scorrere su binari "normali", per quanto possa definirsi normale un episodio della serie di Sam Esmail. Normale nel suo racconto, più lineare rispetto agli altri, e nello stile, anche qui meno concentrato sull'estetica e sulla tecnica e più sul provare ad essere essenziale per lo spettatore a casa. Anche in un episodio normale non mancano i guizzi tecnici di Esmail, da una macchina che ruota sui volti delle 3 donne protagoniste di almeno metà episodio ai primi piani su un sempre più convincente Rami Malek.

   

   
   

   Elliot is called to face his ghosts. Reduced to a catatonic state by the shocking revelation of the last episode, he will need the help of his IO child to regain control. A necessary timeout, as the title suggests, to forgive himself and his alterego Mr. Robot, a paternal figure as a fundamental alternative to the survival of little Elliot. On the other hand, we are witnessing a completely psychological confrontation between Janice, Darlene and agent Di Pierro. The sacrifice (?) Of the latter could really be the last piece so that in these conclusive episodes we witness the final clash between the Deus / Dark Army / Whiterose and Mr.RoboT / Fuck Society / Elliot. Sam Esmail has shown us all his talent over the years. He doesn't need to prove anything. His unpredictability makes it difficult to imagine what the outcome of the battle could be, what the epilogue of the TV series he created could be. At this point the question is reversed: do we really want to know how it will end or will it be enough for us to still have some surreal episodes and exquisite workmanship like the latter to be satisfied?

   
   

   Elliot è chiamato ad affrontare i suoi fantasmi. Ridotto in stato catatonico dalla scioccante rivelazione dello scorso episodio, avrà bisogno dell'aiuto del suo IO bambino per riprendere il controllo. Un timeout necessario, come suggerisce il titolo, per perdonare se stesso ed il suo alterego Mr Robot, figura paterna alternativa fondamentale alla sopravvivenza del piccolo Elliot. Dall'altra parte assistiamo ad uno scontro tutto psicologico fra Janice, Darlene e l'agente Di Pierro. Il sacrificio (?) di quest'ultima potrebbe essere davvero l'ultimo tassello affinchè in questi episodi conclusivi si assista allo scontro finale fra la Deus/Dark Army/Whiterose e Mr.RoboT/Fuck Society/Elliot. Sam Esmail ci ha dato prova di tutto il suo talento in questi anni. Non ha bisogno di dimostrare nulla. La sua imprevedibilità rende difficile immaginare quale possa essere l'esito dello scontro, quale possa essere l'epilogo della serie tv da lui creata. Arrivati a questo punto la domanda è ribaltata: ci interessa davvero sapere come andrà a finire o ci basterà avere ancora alcuni episodi surreali e di pregevole fattura come questi ultimi per ritenerci soddisfatti?

6. ›Mr Robot: 407 Proxy Authentication Required - Why this episode is a masterpiece@serialfiller2410d

   

   

   
   

   The feeling is that we are underestimating too much the fact that a TV series like Mr. Robot is coming to an end. Sensation confirmed by the fact that in recent years we tend to forget the size of some TV series. Too much offer, too many new sensational products. If you think that this year we have had debut masterpieces like Watchman, Too Old too die young, Chernobyl, The Mandalorian and many other wonderful newcomers, you will understand for yourself that it is easy to forget about wonderful but older products. It happened with the conclusion of The Affair and The Deuce a few weeks ago. We are talking about a TV series that deserves to win a Golden Globe in its debut and another umpteenth amazing work by Simon and Pelecanos. 2 TV series that we will remember for life but whose final, whose final season has been little discussed and publicized. Perhaps Mr. Robot is also happening, yet here too we are discussing a product capable of making history, winning so many prizes and launching the career of Oscar-winning Rami Malek. Yet the final season of Mr Robot risks ending up at school over the years. It is extraordinary, multi-faceted and experimental like few others.

   

   
   

   La sensazione è che si stia sottovalutando troppo il fatto che una serie tv come Mr. Robot stia volgendo al termine. Sensazione confermata dal fatto che in questi ultimi anni si tenda a dimenticare la grandezza di alcune serie tv. Troppa offerta, troppi nuovi prodotti sensazionali. Se pensate che quest'anno abbiamo avuto capolavori debuttanti come Watchman, Too Old too die young, Chernobyl, The Mandalorian e tante altre serie esordienti stupende, capirete da soli che sia facile dimenticarsi di prodotti meravigliosi ma più datati. E' capitato con la conclusione di The Affair e The Deuce poche settimane fa. Parliamo di una serie tv capace di vincere, meritatamente, un Golden Globe al suo debutto e di un ennesimo lavoro stupefacende di Simon e Pelecanos. 2 serie tv che ci ricorederemo a vita ma il cui finale, la cui stagione finale è stata poco discussa e pubblicizzata. Sta forse capitando lo stesso anche a Mr. Robot eppure anche qui stiamo discutendo di un prodotto capace di fare la storia, di vincere tanti premi e di lanciare la carriera del premio Oscar Rami Malek. Eppure la stagione conclusiva di Mr Robot rischia di finire negli anni sui banchi di scuola. E' straordinaria, sfaccettata e sperimentale come poche altre.

   

   
   

   As often happens before seeing a major episode I check his evaluation on IMDB. No spoilers but at least the chance to prepare for a possible sensational event. The seventh episode of the seventh season still has a rating of 10/10 on IMDB. A privilege that happened very few times, from Ozymandias and Felina of Breaking Bad to Battle of Bastards and Winds of Winter of Game of Thrones. The curiosity was so much. The curiosity to find out what the genius of Sam Esmail had invented. In this last season he had already astonished us with an episode, the fifth, which for 50 minutes had not shown dialogue but kept the high tension and managing to close the story told in those 50 minutes in a perfect, vibrant and elegant way. In the seventh episode the situation is reversed. Esmail abandons silence and builds an episode as dense and emotionally charged, but filling it with dialogues. This time the 55 minutes are static as everything is born, develops and dies within a single room of a New York apartment. The tribute to certain films and to a certain cinematographic and even theatrical style is obvious but Esmail still manages to write his page of history in a brilliant, original and personal way. Emotional escalation and ascending pathos are palpable. It will lead to the unveiling of one of the most mysterious truths in this series. Who is Mr. Robot. The episode is a masterpiece. We will remember it for centuries. What is most striking is the flexibility of Esmail that manages to move from a silent and adrenaline-filled episode to a static and rich in words without ever losing the compass. If this is not a genius, tell me who it may be.

   
   

   Come spesso accade prima di vedere un episodio importante verifico su IMDB la sua valutazione. Nessuno spoiler ma almeno la possibilità di prepararmi ad un eventuale evento sensazionale. Il settimo episodio della settima stagione ha tuttora un rating di 10/10 su IMDB. Un privilegio accaduto pochissime volte, da Ozymandias e Felina di Breaking Bad a Battle of Bastards e Winds of Winter di Game of Thrones. La curiosità era dunque tanta. La curiosità di scoprire cosa si fosse inventato quel genio di Sam Esmail. In questa ultima stagione ci aveva già stupito con un episodio, il quinto, che per 50 minuti non aveva mostrato dialoghi tenendo però la tensione altissima e riuscendo a chiudere la storia raccontata in quei 50 minuti in maniera perfetta, vibrante ed elegante. Nel settimo episodio la situazione si ribalta. Esmail abbandona il silenzio e costruisce un episodio altrettanto denso e carico emotivamente riempendolo però di dialoghi. Questa volta i 55 minuti sono statici in quanto il tutto nasce, si sviluppa e muore all'interno di una singola stanza di un appartamento di New York. Il tributo a certi film ed ad un certo stile cinematografico e anche teatrale è palese ma Esmail riesce comunque a scrivere la sua pagina di storia in modo brillante, originale e personale. L'escalation emotiva ed il pathos ascendente sono palpabili. Si arriverà al disvelamento di una delle verità più misteriose di questa serie. Chi è Mr. Robot. L'episodio è un capolavoro. Lo ricorderemo per secoli. Quello che è più impressionante è la duttilità di Esmail che riesce a passare da un episodio muto ed adrenalinico ad uno statico e ricco di parole senza mai perdere la bussola. Se non è un genio questo, ditemi voi chi può esserlo.

7. ›Mr Robot is back, for the very last time@serialfiller2453d

   

   22 mesi di assenza dagli schermi. Un'eternità nel panorama seriale contemporaneo. Per dare un'idea di quanto questo tempo sembri infinito nel contesto seriale, nel frattempo Disney, YouTube, Facebook, Apple e altri marchi hanno lanciato le proprie piattaforme streaming. Game of Thrones è terminato, abbiamo celebrato i 25 anni di Friends, sta per uscire un film sequel di Breaking Bad, gli investimenti in tv si sono decuplicati, 4 attori nati nelle serie tv hanno vinto 4 oscar in altrettante categorie, Cannes ha inaugurato una sezione seriale all'interno della propria rassegna, Venezia nel suo festival ha accolto numerose anteprime seriali. Centinaia, migliaia di nuove serie sono state lanciate, alcune di pregevole fattura. Questo per darvi la cifra di quanto 22 mesi siano un'eternità nel panorama seriale. Lo sono ancora di più rispetto ad una serie come Mr. Robot che ha fatto della complessità e della stratificazione il suo tratto distintivo. Difficile ricordare tutti i dettagli della serie da un episodio all'altro, figuriamoci quanto possa essere complicato riprendere il filo del discorso dopo 2 anni. La serie è tornata pochi giorni fa sugli schermi di USA Network e lo ha fatto col botto, con una puntata più lineare del solito ma non meno allucinante, densa, deliziosamente caotica e stilisticamente perfetta di come siamo stati abituati.

   

   La quarta stagione sarà l'ultima ed è impossibile immaginare dove voglia andare a parare. Nel frattempo anche internamente alla serie ed al suo cast di cose ne sono successe. Basti pensare che il protagonista, Rami Malek, ha vinto un oscar come miglior attore per la sua fenomenale interpretazione di Freddy Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody ed il suo creatore, Sam Esmail, è diventato una sorta di mago che tutti vorrebbero firmare per lasciargli produrre film e serie tv. Nel primo episodio dell'ultima stagione c'è una continuità impressionante con quanto avevamo visto nel finale della terza stagione. Una continuità non lineare che pur dandoci l'impressione di seguire linee temporali e narrative dritte in realtà ci porta avanti e indietro come fossimo su montagne russe. Si partirà con un evento shock. Si finirà con un evento ancora più scioccante. In mezzo la solita genialità di Esmail che con la macchina da presa fa letteralmente, come sempre, quello che gli pare. Movimenti di macchina stupendi, piani sequenza, dolly stupefacenti. Un caso raro di come lo stile influenzi il prodotto finale, di come il pathos venga creato soprattutto da come le singole scene vengano girate e da quale sia la musica scelta in sottofondo. Il resto lo fa il cast, come sempre eccellente su cui spiccano ovviamente Malek e Cristian Slater. La prima puntata dura oltre un'ora ma vola via velocemente grazie ad una costruzione crescente della tensione e ad una narrazione molto fluida che riesce a riportarci dopo 22 mesi nel clima Mr. Robot. Dopo questa prima ora finale siamo ancora più terrorizzati, confusi e increduli di sapere che questa sarà l'ultima stagione, sia perchè avvertiamo palesemente che questa è una di quelle serie che finirà per mancarci e sia perchè ci viene impossibile decifrare come questa serie possa terminare. Il cliffangher finale lascia pochi dubbi, eppure in Mr. Robot nulla è mai stato come appare. Per nostra fortuna.

   Your life is been Hacked.
