Elliot and a small group of others, including Darlene, join the group led by a mysterious man named Mr. Robot (Christian Slater), while Angela unknowingly skirts its sharp edges.

By the end of season one, had Mr. Robot completely taken over control of Elliot?
Elliot is our broody, black-hoodie-wearing, dark-circle-eyed, morphine-addicted, unreliable narrator who works (well, in the first season at least) as an engineer at a cybersecurity firm called Allsafe. So, his world is upside down when we meet him. The finale ended on a cliffhanger: Elliot hears a knock on the door and begins to open it right before the credits roll. Also not a big surprise when Mr. Robot takes over Elliot’s body next, Elliot “wakes up” and finds himself holding a phone. Mr. Robot exclaims, not long after shooting Elliot in the head to get his attention (don’t worry – remember, Mr. Robot isn’t real).
“Mr. Robot” has infiltrated the 2016 Emmys race following a critically-acclaimed freshman season, scoring six nominations following two major wins at this year’s Golden Globes, which crowned the U.S. series Best Drama and also rewarded Christian Slater as Best Supporting Actor.
Among the points that support this theory are the fact that Elliot’s room is small and minimal, he’s not using a computer, his “mother” acts suspiciously like a guard, and he has a very strict routine. Darlene’s reaction implies that this has happened before. She’s keeps getting more isolated from her brother. When Tyrell doesn’t get the promotion, he flips, taking out his anger on a homeless man whom he pays to beat the shit out of.
Joanna Wellick (Stephanie Corneliussen) Tyrell’s wife, who ran him out of the house after their child was born. He figured out what they needed, which is often the opposite of what the viewers need, and is delivering that instead of filling in the blanks we so desperately want covered. “All she wants is to be with him”.
“Last season she was this unstoppable, untouchable, don’t-give-a-shit person and this season we see her more vulnerable side, masking the doubt of what she did”. But don’t hold me to that. Elliot does not help Gideon, who is completely innocent, and he is subsequently killed. We are more vulnerable to cyber-attacks than ever before and Mr. Robot is showing us how fragile and how easily we put our lives online for everyone to see.
Scott Knowles (Brian Stokes Mitchell) Current CTO of Evil Corp. I mean, [Hard Harry] had a ham radio and was trying to deal with the school principal. Me like. Angela doesn’t seem very nice anymore. However she ends up telling Antara that she is keeping her job with the company.
After the dramatic events of last season which left audiences with jaws firmly on the ground, it’s finally back. The former executive from E Corp was last seen joining forces with fsociety and Eliot but since then nobody has seen them.
– Ray (Craig Robinson) looks like he’s going to be Elliot’s way out of the loop. The Dark Army is a kind of hack-for-hire group, without a grand, sweeping vision for revolution like fsociety.

Although he looks a little weak because of his small frame, his effective charisma and good acting are perfectly enough to handle everything that he will go through on “Mr. Robot” Season 2.
