"Mr. Robot" finale scheduled this week, as fans might have heard right now, has already been canceled for having scenes similar to the live TV attack in Virginia a few days ago.
With one week at hand, fans can prepare themselves better for what might hit them come "Mr. Robot" season finale.
The story of Martin Wallström's character Tyrell Wellick had an interesting/shocking twist in the latest episode. Is he really on the bad side or the good side? Series creator Sam Esmail said it is still hard to say.
"I kind of think that he'll always be ... the best way I can describe it without judging him as a character is that he's incredibly damaged," Esmail told Entertainment Weekly.
"The fact that he takes the moniker of the quote-unquote 'bad guy' is not something I feel comfortable about either way - as much as I wouldn't even put the moniker of 'good guy' on Elliot. I think they're actually just both very damaged people, and they've both been motivated by very different things. Obviously Tyrell has crossed more ethical lines. And Tyrell's obviously all about self-preservation and I guess operating more under a selfish desire to get ahead, whereas Elliot on the flipside is seemingly altruistic and operating more on the benefit of other people."
Esmail also warned about Angela (Portia Doubleday) who in the last few episodes is slowly coming into her own.
"Angela's arc, you maybe thought that she was one way in the beginning of the season, but now she's make some actions and is a lot more duplicitous than one might think in the beginning of the season."
Earlier this month, Sam Esmail told Huffington Post the first season is just the appetizer. The bigger picture is in the second season.
"I don't even consider what we're doing this season to be that huge. It was just the setup for the real story which really begins next season, which would have been Act 2 of our film," he said.
Now, he told EW "Mr. Robot" finale will set up Elliot Anderson (Rami Malek) to a bigger journey.
"Honestly, the thing about how I wanted to end this season was that I wanted to set up the larger story of Elliot's journey. So that's where we're ending. A lot of things happen in these episodes that are going to give people who are following the show a lot to process and a lot to rethink and a lot to figure out. I think what I wanted ultimately was the experience coming into season 2 to be, "Okay, now I've got everything." In the feature-screenwriting world, this [season 1] was the Act 1. This is our setup, essentially, to sort of inform you, "Here's what the series is going to be about."
