Mr. Robot: 21 WTF Moments That Left Fans Stunned

13. Tyrell Kills Sharon

When it comes to power, Tyrell Wellick will do whatever it takes to obtain it. That's something that is established very early on in the show and it certainly makes for some grim scenarios. Mr. Robot has never shied away from making the viewers feel uncomfortable and this was certainly one of those moments.

As an attempt at getting his work-rival, Scott Knowles, out of the picture, Wellick attempts to seduce his wife, Sharon. While it didn't work the first time, he does manage to persuade Sharon to join him on the roof where they eventually start kissing passionately. However, that passion quickly turns into violence as Wellick starts to choke her mid-kiss, until her body stops moving.

It's a truly disturbing and hard to watch as she struggles to get away from Wellick, but he overpowers her and refuses to let her go. The choice of music - Two Weeks by FKA Twigs - is a perfect for this scene. Filled with dark and moody synths, it reaches its peak at the height of the violence, which only intensifies the moment.
