Whether it's the brilliant acting, exceptional visuals or captivating plot, there are a lot of things to praise about Mr. Robot. However, the one thing it does better than any other show on TV is shock its audience. It's part of the reason the show has had such loyal fanbase for all of these years.

Time and time again, Esmail has taken Mr. Robot fans on a journey with the characters in the show, only to pull the rug from underneath them and us, leaving fans stunned, yet thoroughly entertained. Brutal deaths, heartbreaking failures and the sort of life-changing decisions that are impossible to come back from are littered throughout the series. However, which of them really cemented Mr. Robot as one of the most messed up show's to ever be created?

We've gone back through each season and picked the moments that brilliantly toyed with the audience's mind and emotions. It was obvious from the beginning that Mr. Robot pulled no punches, but no-one expected it to get as dark as it quickly got. We warn you, this isn't for the faint-hearted. Let's begin...

21. Dom's Big Reveal

Although Dom might be a complete and utter mess in her personal life, she's actually a pretty good FBI agent. Throughout her run in the show, she seems to constantly be in over her head, yet always manages to pull off some incredible escape or be just one step ahead of whoever she's investigating.

One of her most iconic moments on the show happened in the second season, while trying to flip Darlene and make her and a mole for the bureau. As always, Darlene is resilient and hilariously rude to Dom's suggestion that she joins them, up until Dom states that she wants to show her something.

It turned out that Dom had much more information about fsociety than Darlene could've ever imagined. From pictures of the members, their names and possible associations with the Dark Army, Dom had everything front and center of a whiteboard. Despite her usual brashness, Darlene was completely and utterly silenced as she realised the jig was well and truly up for everyone's favourite hacktivists.
