Mr. Robot: 21 WTF Moments That Left Fans Stunned
4. Elliot's Epic Rant
Sam Esmail has always done a good job of giving the characters amazing monologues. There's truly nothing better when one of them let's loose and unleashes a tirade and one of the best of them happens in the pilot episode of the show. While having a session with his psychiatrist, Krista, Elliot is asked a very simple question;
"What is it about society that disappoints you so much?"
Elliot then begins an incredible rant against society, poking holes in our idols, exposing the unsaid truths, plus a whole lot more in the process. It's uncomfortable, but only in the sense that some of what he says is actually agreeable in some ways.
The show has never been afraid of providing an awkward honesty about society, yet in typical Mr. Robot fashion, this isn't Elliot really sharing his thoughts to Krista and for the audience to see. We realise that he's actually having this monologue in his head, when the rant reaches a climax and Krista breaks him out of his deep thoughts.
