Inside Darlene's drama and Elliot's mind (Mr. Robot S2)
Decrypted, Ars Technica's TV podcast - A podcast by Ars Technica
Categories:
It's penultimate episode time for S2, and in the classic style of The Wire we may have a death or two on this week's Mr. Robot. "h1dden-pr0cess.axx" ends on a cliffhanger with possibly tremendous repercussions, so this week we start by examining the possibilities and evidence surrounding Darlene's drama. Then, professional psychologist and TV writer Cameron Brown (@couchpotpsych) joins the podcast to dive deep into the mind of Elliot... because even within an episode that ends on such an action sequence, everything ignited when Elliot's struggles with mental illness and alternate personas came to the forefront. "Elliot as a human has all the information," Brown reminds. "But as an identity, Elliot doesn't have all the information at all."
