First things first, my favourite part is how they name their episodes as file names, like the first was named as eps1.0_hellofriend.mov. For first three seasons, they have used file extensions like .avi, .p7z and there are so many which I never even heard of before. For the fourth and final season, they have used HTTP Status Codes like 404:Not Found, and I absolutely loved it. As an amateur coder, I got a sense of thrill seeing how the pro hackers “own everybody”. That’s why they call it “cyberpunk”
E (Evil) Corp 
Whiterose aka Minister Zhang 
The Deus Group, founded by Young Zhang
Plot Summary
The plot revolves around Elliot Anderson, a super-hacker nerd, with clinical depression and Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). His alter-ego is named Mr Robot, who is casted in his father’s image, since Elliot has daddy-issues. Through all four seasons, he seeks to recast the unjust social order where top 1% of 1% enjoy all the privileges of the world at the cost of others. His nemesis is firstly E Corp, , a conglomerate giant with deep roots and shady activities. But later, he turns his attention to Dark Army, cyber-terrorists from China led by Whiterose. The other main characters are Darlene Anderson, his sister; Angela, his childhood bestie; Dom DiPierro, FBI agent and Tyrell Wellick, ex- E Corp Acting CTO.
fsociety vs Dark Army
In Season 1, Mr Robot aka Elliot creates fsociety and hacks E Corp to fry digital records of all its financial transactions on 5/9. In Season 2, Elliot is jailed for hacking his therapist’s boyfriend and creates an alter-reality as a coping mechanism. There are talks of Stage 2, in which the physical database at E Corp HQ will be blown as the last straw in the hat. In Season 3, Stage 2 happens despite Elliot’s attempts to stop it. It is revealed that E Corp is actually a front for Dark Army /Deus Group & they supported 5/9 to popularize E-Coin. Whiterose or Minister Zhang has a secret project where he plans to bring back dead. In Season 4, Elliot attempts to hack Deus Group members’ bank accounts in Cyprus National Bank. He not only succeeds, but also leaks all the info on misdeeds of the Deus group in a public data leak.
Plotwise, Season 2 is the weakest and has some completely senseless arcs, like the dark-web-portal hack arc. But Seasons 3 and 4 are able to use some of its material to show relevance. Knowles beating Joanna, Tyrell’s slightly deranged wife also seems an exaggeration. After a certain point, twists and turns stop making you jump, which is what happened when I found out in the Season finale that hacker-Elliot himself is a DID personality. For this, it has been compared to Fight Club, where the same happens for Tyler Durden. It’s a good part that Sam Ishmail magnified the scope of Elliot’s conflicts -first against small fishes and then bigger and biggest.
