2025-12-24 00:32:06 +0000 UTCI'm still on your side with someone is not really there. Now I'm not really sure how it works, but there's a lot of tellings about, who's human, what is real, who's the monster, etc.

2025-12-15 11:10:13 +0000 UTCI love that you're noticing the unconventional framing and cinematography! Isn't it fantastic! The director of cinematography Tod Campbell has discussed his thought process in detail through multiple articles / interviews and it's honestly fascinating to me. This is a bit of a broad summarisation but basically Campbell was really big on creating a sense of discomfort in the viewer. He wanted the audience to see through Elliot's eyes. He'd often place characters at the far side / corner of the screen in conversations so the viewer couldn't discern the amount of distance, both physically (and emotionally) between them. The negative space / backgrounds emphasising a sense of loneliness, isolation, and disempowerment. (Vulture article & ShotDeck go into much more detail on this.) Really looking forward to catching the next one! It's been a little while but I remember 1x6 being one of my personal favourite episodes!

2025-12-05 02:43:26 +0000 UTCThis episode made me think about how much I love the female characters in this show: Angela, Shayla, and especially Darlene. Another fab reaction! I truly felt like this show was a true MovieMan-type of series. Glad you're enjoying it!!!

2025-12-04 21:58:50 +0000 UTCReally enjoying going through this show again with your reactions. I love how much you're noticing the cinematography, and can't wait for you to get to later seasons where the cinematography really gets crazy :) . I'm not someone who tends to notice that stuff on my own but even I could appreciate some of the directorial choices/etc in later seasons.

2025-12-04 04:28:51 +0000 UTCFunny little detail. Joanna; Tyrell’s wife, drinks a zip of wine when Scott is not watching although she is very pregnant and excuses herself for not doing so. She can’t hold herself from being evil

2025-12-03 22:49:10 +0000 UTCYesss Mr. Robot! 🙌 In terms of the Wikipedia topic, I usually just go down to the sources and use them as a good jumping off point, rather than going with the Wikipedia page itself. If that makes sense A complete 180, but I find it very interesting how Tyrell is given this seducer role in his and his wife’s schemes. I feel like that it often “given” to women, so it’s fascinating to see it the other way around
