    So many bold choices in this show. One shot episodes, silent episodes, all sorts of crazy stuff. It’s a show that somehow redefined itself every week but still maintained a consistent identity at the same time.

    I’ll tell you what holds a candle to that opening.

    Season 3 Episode 2’s cold open – Episode titled “Undo”. Its a fucking CRIME that FX doesn’t host it on their Youtube channel like they do their other cold opens, because I think its a fantastic way to sell the show. Its not too spoilery, it stands on its own while still giving a brief summary of where they left off from the previous season and I think someone that’s never watched the show before can even get an idea of what the show is about and whether they would enjoy it.

    Every now and then, I go back on Amazon Prime and rewatch that cold open and its just so fucking good. Its cut so perfectly, the cinematography is incredible, the acting, the small little details throughout ALL the scenes, the writing, the backing soundtrack “New Sensation”, the social commentary on making yourself into a neat little corporate package by using services like “Trunk Club”, popping SSRI’s like Zoloft and sending silly emoji’s to your friends while the world melts around you.

    No seriously. If you’re a fan of the artistry of cinematography and you dig Mr. Robot’s vibe, just go queue the episode up and watch the cold open. Its so fucking good.
