I thought I was ready for this episode. I really did. I rewatched the whole series in preparation, and I've spent months poring over the trailers and considering every possible direction this could go. But man... this episode is crazy. It's violent, meta, shocking, and melancholic.

The ending and the beginning both blur the line between what is part the show and what isn't; similar to eps2.7, there is a seamless transition from the recap into the show, so that it's started before you've even realized it. And then, pretty much straight out of the gate, Sam presents us with a shocking scene that leaves you reeling for most of the rest of the episode. Luckily, the middle portion of the episode isn't too crazy; it has some fun stylistic flourishes, but for the most part it's a pretty straightforward depiction of Elliot's war against the Dark Army. There's some great tension and a few surprises, but by the end of the episode the viewer has mostly recovered - so Esmail rips the rug out from under us yet again.

I adore this show, and this has to be one of my favorite episodes. It's definitely my favorite season premiere; usually the episodes of this caliber are reserved for a little further down the line. I can't wait to find out what other gifts Sam has got in store for us.

The very first scene was so mind blowing it's like the series hasn't gone anywhere for the past 2 years. This was exactly what I hoped the season premier would be and more. And Sam Esmail's cameo at the end was brilliant.

I will probably come back to re-edit this review because I'm still processing this episode. Everything from the directing, writing, cinematography, acting, score, and overall delivery felt flawless and breathtaking. The entire episode felt like a roller coaster but one that just drops without warning. The beginning sequence and ending one are pure jaw droppers with one of them keeping your heart in an accelerated, constant motion. I certainly can't wait for the final episodes. 9.8

What a premiere. From the opening scene with Angela and Philip to the cliffhanger this was exemplary. Of all the characters in all the ways it could have happened I could never have seen those first few minutes going down the way they did. One of the most powerful moments in recent years of the silver screen. The scene with Elliot and Freddy Lomax from beginning to end was perfection and Mr Robot to the core. The cinematography as always was top notch, some really creative choices, particularly when Elliot falls into the honeypot and then the overdose. Really not much to complain about here. Sam Esmail, Mac Quayle and the whole cast and crew are truly firing on all cylinders. I can't wait to see how this final season unfolds. 9.7/10. Goodbye Friend.

It's crazy I'm excited It was pleasantly juicy and Ramy's acting was very beautiful as usual

After the first couple of minutes when Angela got popped I kept thinking this is crazy how can you justify her basically dying during the opening credits. By the end of the amazing hour I didn't even care because I knew the season was going to be amazing.

So this all came out a few months before Covid started happening. We are living in a different time now, for sure. But here we start a new season...recap....

Angela is still crazy, Eliot is still crazy, they are REGRETTING the great reset they created by hacking ECORP. That in itself, is crazy.

Oh nice! Angela gets an early exit from S4 as she confesses to Price what she is 'going to do'. Nope, they ain't having that. Even with Price's own daughter. +1 Star.

LOL... 'I need you to stop looking around like you're a coked up Henry Hill.' +1 Star for a great line! Slater has the best lines in the show.

Oh my! The 'Don't Worry Be Happy' scene! +1 Star

This episode has been a fun one. Especially Dom's Mom at dinner. And the ride home for MOM'S FRIEND!

Wow. Darlene suddenly really has a drug problem. But, at least she's having fun!!

They take Eliot back to his apartment and stick a needle in him. Is he dying? His life flashes before his eyes. Slater and his family lament that they will be going away forever! Will someone save Eliot??? +1 Star

Weird. This ep. Is one I liked more than any in the last couple seasons. 8/10.

Angela is distraught at her meeting with Philip Price after his bombshell revelations about her mother, parents, family life, especially Whiterose, after Price's long antagonism with her Angela firmly believes that he had unfinished business that she is now extremely keen to be a part of.

Unfortunately for Angela Philip Price has only told her a minute fraction of the entire picture and he has neglected to inform her, of the most salient aspects especially those that directly affected her, or indeed of his own present position relative to Whiterose.

Mr Robot/Elliot Alderson is desperately endeavouring to gain leverage against Whiterose's business dealings by hacking a Freddy Lomax, an executive at a company that has been inured in this corporate mire. Lomax has sensitive material that Mr Robot hopes will prove more than useful, if only he can keep him alive long enough to complete the necessary procedures.

Tyrell Wellick feels pressured by his new business environs with E Corps especially as this incarnation in the corporate megalith is more than somewhat far removed, from his previous position where he was the rising young executive with his gleaming executive future ahead of him.

FBI Agent Dominique DiPierro is understandably somewhat shell shocked after her, recent near death experiences at the hands of the Whiterose's criminal operatives.

Darlene is seriously coming apart at the seams actually believing that she had seen Angela on the street and tried to convince Elliot to take her seriously, and help look for her whereabouts.

My Reaction / Review for Mr. Robot Season 4 Episode 1: Season 3 was good but Season 4 is the last season so im expecting it to be really good. 1 hour episode? Nice, delicious. Wait Angela is dead? What? Wow. Phillip is powerless. Who is this new character that talks online with little girls? Disgusting. If I was Elliot I would give the information to the FBI no matter what, this guy is dangerous. Wow the guy killed himself? I didn't expect that. Ok so the first half of the episode is a thriller. Damn Dominique looks like she is sick. Darlene thinks that Angela is alive? Yeah I don't believe that. The door was open? How convinient. What an ending... they tried to kill Elliot by overdose. Isnt he useful for Whiterose anymore? Very good episode overall, my rating is 8.5/10.
