Mr. Robot Goes Silent, and Joins an Elite TV Club #SciFiSunday
I for one am a big fan of when mainstream tv shows mess with style and form (especially love a bottleneck episode), so I was very pleased to see Mr. Robot veer into silent mode.
It’s easy to forget, sometimes, how much words matter — until they go away, a fact that some great TV shows have chosen to actively embrace in recent years.
The examples abound, but the most recent is Sunday’s episode of Mr. Robot, in which there are exactly two lines of dialogue, something that viewers might not have realized right away, without advance warning. The episode begins with Darlene (Carly Chaikin) picking up brother Elliot (Rami Malek), who’s just finished torching a van — things are strained between them, but when he gets into the car, she tells him, “It’s cool, dude, we don’t have to talk.”
