eps2.2_init_1.asec Ratings & Reviews
TV Over Mind
Randy Dankievitch
Hopefully, a return to hacking will put the pieces of Mr. Robot back in the places they belong.
PopMatters
Sean Fennell
There are times which the long runtimes of the episodes and endless stalemates can become a little tiresome, but if Mr. Robot is able to pay off on all the exquisite build-up, then it'll surely be worthwhile.
TV Equals
Jordan Alsaqa
Watching Elliot fight so hard last episode was great; here, he'd lost his fight, and it was a more lethargic hour for it.
IGN Movies
Matt Fowler
Flashbacks, dream sequences, and chess battles for supremacy of the mind filled this episode with layers and mystery, making for a great chapter.
Paste Magazine
Matt Brennan
The final moments of "init1.asec" promise, at minimum, a course of action to break the series' stalemate, even if-to paraphrase Price's response to Angela's demand-the future worth fighting for is all in his head.
Rolling Stone
Jenna Scherer
This week's hour-long episode, entitled "eps2.2_init1.asec," (because Mr. Robot, people) is about as bright and shiny as this show is ever likely to get. We even see a real smile out of Elliot - no Adderall involved.
TV.com
Tim Surette
It's the second episode in a row with some bumps, but it also made a huge leap by getting Elliot back in front of a computer, something I've missed dearly. But more importantly, it appears that Elliot and Mr. Robot are back working together again.
Vox
Emily VanDerWerff
The first few episodes... have done a good job of setting up the rest of this world outside of Elliot's paranoid viewpoint. That was probably a necessary thing for Mr. Robot to do. But the show needs him at its center, not dithering away on the edges.
Guardian
Paul MacInnes
Elliot is back in. A return to hacking was inevitable, of course, but here creator Sam Esmail lays out why it has to be so.
New York Times
Sean T. Collins
From sunlit dream sequences and sterile corporate plazas to creepy slasher pastiches and grimy dive-bar restrooms, Mr. Robot is unified by its audacious framing, its astute use of sound, and performances that withhold as much as they reveal.
TV Line
Matt Webb Mitovich
This week's Mr. Robot opened with a blast from the past, in the form of a flashback that answered some questions we perhaps didn't know we had.
Wall Street Journal
Paul Vigna
This episode was stuffed with information, but the most compelling moments came when Elliot and Darlene's lives started to intertwine again.
HitFix
Alan Sepinwall
When a show is taking place as much inside the main character's head as Mr. Robot is at the moment, this length is incredibly hard to sustain without feeling the weight of every minute ticking by.
Observer
Vinnie Mancuso
Say what you will about Mr. Robot, but it rarely if ever does anything without a purpose. I can't think of one gun Sam Esmail has brought into center-frame he didn't eventually fire.
Nerdist
Samantha Sofka
Similar to last week's episode, "init1.asec" answered several questions we forgot we wanted to know.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Genevieve Koski
Contrary to its signature visual style, Mr. Robot delights in narrative symmetry, and tonight's episode is no exception. "eps2.2init1.asec" begins in the past and ends pointing toward the future.
indieWire
Jay Bushman
This week's episode belongs to Darlene, and its a great showcase for Carly Chaiken.
TV Fanatic
Paul Dailly
"eps2.2_init_1.asec" was a another thrilling episode.
AV Club
Alex McLevy
Dreams provide a counterpoint to the central conceit of this episode: The chess game fought for control of Elliot's mind. Or rather, the game Elliot thinks is going to be played, and Mr. Robot knows is going to quietly end in a stalemate, time and again.
