Like I can't be mad because while Elliot was out of the paint dealing with his mental stuff, everything that took place in real life was golden. White Rose went from a cool side character in the first season into the mega boss he is now, Dom's storyline was off the hook, etc. Id have to re-watch the first season but considering how often he was in the doctors office I bet you it wasn't that much of a deviation in Elliot being out of commission vs plot moving. Its just the stakes are so much higher it feels like treading water when really its the same old, same old.

When Elliot is able to harness Mr.Robot its curtains for everyone on some John Wick shit. He's got no friends or allies, I don't see anyone surviving this when he goes super saiyan, lol.
