“It all depends on what your definition of real is.”
Mr. Robot is now going full-on David Lynch. The sequence with Angela and the girl is the show at its most surreal, and the way it’s all set up is certainly reminiscent of the director’s work. It’s a brilliantly executed set of scenes that culminates with a riveting conversation between Angela and whiterose, and it’s driven primarily by B.D. Wong’s magnetic performance. The scene poses a big question for the show: what the hell is real? Over the course of the season, the series has been moving steadily toward the surreal, expanding outward from Elliot’s mind to encompass an entire cast of characters. It’s been probing and questioning its characters, and it’s when they realize reality is slipping away that they also realize they may have dug themselves too deep of a hole.
