Mr. Robot: 10 Best Episodes
3. 405 Method Not Allowed
An entirely dialogue free episode of TV is not a new concept. Anyone who watched Buffy The Vampire Slayer will have fond memories of the Hush episode, in which the residents of Sunnydale lose their ability to speak. It's a great episode of TV, but it's rarely done because making an hour of TV without any characters uttering a word is pretty hard to do.
That being said, Sam Esmail has never been afraid to challenge himself or Mr. Robot fans, so he did something similar with 405 Method Not Allowed. Only two lines are said throughout the episode, with the rest of it turning into a high-paced cyber security break-in, turned mad dash around New York City.
Being a believable actor is difficult enough, but only being able to use your facial expressions and actions to push the story along must be incredibly difficult. Rami Malek and Carly Chaikin do an incredible job of saying so much throughout this episode without a word barely leaving their mouth.
Surprisingly, the lack of dialogue only increases the intensity of the action in what turned out to be a thrilling episode of TV.
