it’s weird seeing scenes like this and then remember how dark and violent the show actually gets.

I really hope there is a renaissance for this show someday. Not enough people know how crazy this series was.

He shows he's in charge by directing them to start the presentation. Then shows he's in charge by immediately interrupting the presentation to show he 'knows what's going on' by praising the savior and revealing he already has an internal analysis. Then stops the presentation again to unproductively quibble over semantics to show he 'knows what's going on.' Then stops the presentation to show he's in charge by getting someone removed from the meeting. Then stops the meeting to float his own really stupid suggestion that shows he doesn't know what's going on.

Meanwhile all he's done is reveal this meeting is pointless, taking far longer than it should, while making an enemy of the most capable people in the room because he didn't bother to learn who he was humiliating and putting the cherry on the top, he shows he's not worth explaining this to. They should really be talking with 'the gals in analysis.'

It's a brilliant scene because you learn exactly what kind of asshole he is, and that he's in way over his head.

that boomer became the boss by giving a firm handshake and just asking for the job

Rami delivered that ok so well at 0:19

I love how fate dictates the tiniest differences in the story line. This scene sets in motion one of the most earth shattering plotlines. Elliot was still undecided on whether or not to frame Colby, but when he saw the way Angela was treated, he decided to switch up the files. If Colby had treated Angela with respect, there's a chance Elliot would have never ruined him... and another meta detail - Tyrell saw exactly what he did. Tyrell keeps going on about he and Elliot come together through sheer fate as though he has some sort of sixth sense. The way he treats Elliot on their first encounter is not the way someone greets someone for the first time (even for someone as eccentric as Tyrell), also the way he knows exactly what Elliot did in that moment... there's no way he could have known that through pure intuition. I think there's a heap of interactions between Elliot and other people which Sam doesn't show to us... it's as if Mr. Robot had briefed Tyrell on the entire plan before on the entire prject off camera before they met in the cubicles. Tyrell spoke to Elliot there as if he already knew him.

Sam Esmail hides so many mysteries and clues in his story. It's so densly packed with riddles, the same way hackers communicate through cyphers and meta data. Sam was hacking the entire audience through misdirection and subversive story telling. Every time I re-watch the series I pick up on something completely new... It's a pure work of art.

Worst part is this was the beginning of Angela's envy and jealousy towards Elliot. When Colby wanted him more instead of her. It wasn't even Elliot's fault, Colby made it worse.

[udopiarecords]

Isnt it wild this is probably the only time Angela and Tyrell ever interacted before Fsociety, and they go from complete strangers to complete pawns of the Dark Army 🤣

Huge fan of Mr Robot. It offers everything from suspense to epic cinematography and directing style. For anybody looking to get into making series, this is the benchmark on all areas of television filmmaking.

[enzogauna]

"what happened to Angela she knows more about what happened" that is a boss.

[MrDarkHawk]

Every single scene in this series is important & phenomenal, they stand so well on their own

[andrewvelonis]

At what point did someone explain a job to a boomer boss?

[Exidose]

I love the "Ok" at 0:19 because he could have said thanks to Elliot, instead of being condescending, i'm glad Elliot shut him down.

[reinertgregal]

CTO of the biggest corpo in the world praises you
Elliot's response: okay

[bckhwk]

I have been in this situations, when you are taking to level C executives there's no time for formalities or small talk, they always go straight to the point, i have seen agendas and formal protocols full destroyed in the first 10 seconds of the meeting

[bradism]

I'm sitting here and can only think Freddy Mercury has some damn good I.T. skills

[albdamned]

I am glad I found a place where the people who do not know rely on the people who do know to make decisions. I had 1 boss have me do this long technical process that was being handled manually and it took 3 people 3 weeks. I had excel do it in 16 seconds and then spend 8 hours checking it. After that I submitted the work and it was rejected out of hand and asked to recheck it. I spent 3 weeks on a YouTube vacation, and submitted the same exact report after. When he got fired, I suggested to the customer we could save a few dollars in this area but invest it (and a little bit more for a few other things) and we’re able to add a staff member doing an entirely new function for the customer.

Beautiful cinematography. The choice to not include Gideon's expression during these interactions really elevates the darkness. We don't know what Gideon is thinking, From below the face, we just see him as a faceless corporate robot. Truly genius attention to detail.

[infinitedesigns_io]

It's 2023 and I really need to go back and rewatch this entire masterpiece all over again. good

[invictuz]

Lmao, three FBI agents in the room sitting directly across from him and Tyrell is the only one in the room that notices him switch the file.
