Hello friends. The time has come. Mr. Robot returns to USA tonight at 10 p.m. If you were trolling around on Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter or YouTube this weekend, you may have caught Part. 1 of tonight's premiere episode ( Here’s some spoilers) , but if not, you’re probably wondering what the hell Elliot has been up to in the 30 days since Five/Nine. Even after watching 40 minutes of the premiere episode, we still have more (spoiler free) questions than answers.
Where is Tyrell Wellick? Three days after the hack, Elliot wakes up in Tyrell’s car, but the ex-E Corp exec is nowhere to be found.
What’s Whiterose’s agenda? Last we saw, Whiterose was having a discussion about fsociety with Phillip Price. He’s part of the Dark Army, a group of hackers-for hire who suddenly backed out of helping fscoiety to compromise Steel Mountain. But in the finale, it’s made fairly clear that he’s doing business with E Corp.
Who was at the door in the Mr. Robot Season 1 finale? Elliot walks over to answer the door with a creepy smile, but who is there and what do they want?
What happened to the economy? The trailers suggest the economy is spiraling down after the E Corp hack that was supposed to relieve millions of their debts. We still don’t really know if the hack was successful and we can’t rule out any unexpected side effects.
Is Elliot still working with Tyrell? The first half of the leaked premiere flashed back to the day of the hack, but we still don’t know what happened in the three days following when Tyrell goes missing. Is it possible that Elliot killed Tyrell, or is this all part of another grand plan?
Right now, it appears Tyrell is the face all over the news and Elliot’s in the clear. Hopefully we’ll find out if E Corp even knows Mr. Robot is running fscoiety.
Now, here’s how to watch online:
No cable subscription? Hopefully, you’re tech savvy in ways we can’t speak about, or willing to camp out in a friend's living room. If not, here are your streaming options:
Options without a cable subscription:
Amazon Prime
The Mr. Robot Season 2 premiere will arrive on Amazon Prime (in the U.K. and U.S.) just a day after each episode airs on USA for the entire season. Pay a monthly price of $10.99 or a yearly subscription fee of $99. If you’re just looking to stream Mr. Robot without a cable subscription, this is your best bet. The only downside is that you can’t watch it live as it airs. If that’s a deal breaker, skip down to the Sling TV section.
Hulu
It’s unclear why Mr. Robot made an exclusive deal with Amazon Prime, but unfortunately it means Season 2 will not be available on Hulu at all. USA does stream some of its other popular shows on Hulu -- like Suits , Colony and Royal Pains -- but I’m sorry to inform you that your Hulu subscription is worthless for Mr. Robot.
Sling TV:
Have you ever signed up for Sling TV? If the answer is no, you're in luck. Register now and get 7 days free. After the trial period, there is a plan called Sling Blue that gives you 40 channels (including USA) for $25 dollars a month. Sling TV is not an on-demand service, so you’ll get to watch the episode live on whatever device you want -- TV, computer, tablet or smartphone -- just like you would if you have cable. The service is compatible with Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast and Xbox One.
With a cable subscription that includes USA network:
Time Warner Cable, Xfinity, Comcast and other cable providers all have their own streaming platform -- either on their website or a special app. Chances are your provider even allows you to stream live, but you’ll want to double-check ahead of time. If not, you can always watch via your provider the next day on-demand.
Watch USA live on your laptop by simply going to USA.com and logging in with your cable subcription. Also download the USA Now app on your tablet to watch on-demand the following day.
Part 1 of the Mr. Robo t Season 2 premiere leaked online Sunday evening, so if you already watched it you can skip the first 40 minutes by tuning in around 10:45 p.m. Need a recap of Season 2 episode 1? Check out ours here .
