    Mr.Robot

    So much drugs, depression, late stage capitalism.

    Idk wtf I was watching. Too dark and too confusing. I thought I was watching a WW2 Holocause movie, the vibes was depressing AF.

    Did I mention the drugs?

    So. Much. Drugs.

    There were More Drug Scenes than Plot Scenes that I actually understood.

    (Maybe I just have a smooth brain who knows 🤷‍♂️)

      I just love how the Elliot is like “I’m so lonely and depressed” and has like 8 close friends and gets a girlfriend and immediately gets intimate.

      I would think it a bit more immersive if they made his depression about something else entirely from the start.

      It’s a great series but I agree, there’s a lot of depressing vibes. I binged it recently and ended up being getting paranoid riding trains haha

      I watched it cause it was interesting to explore a scenario where the top 1% was targeted, especially considering what’s happening in the world right now.
