Yup. It's region protected as always.
It should be up on alternate stream sources now though.

Watched the teaser yesterday and it was great. Forgot how good this show is. Set up to be a super intense season.

Watched the season premiere last night. I recommend rewatching the first season before you do because I had a hard time remembering who a lot of the minor characters were.
Really good start to the season though. I forgot how much I loved this show's style and tone.

Well that was intense. Just finished the 2 part premier, and it's gonna take awhile to sink in. The shot of burning money with Phil Collins playing in the background was awesome though

A theory from reddit that makes total sense now after reflection

I hope not cause that's really taking the show off the deep end with the "what's real and what's not real" angle and it would be overkill if not done right. I mean as a viewer you'd lose all ability to trust that anything you see in the show is actually happening.
My thoughts:

The writers are trying to portray that everything is an illusion and we can leave the illusion at anytime. But we like our prisons. It's another Matrix like point of view.

Not putting this in spoilers since it's wild speculation, and you shouldn't come into a thread about a show like this if you don't want to discuss theories.
Craig Robinson's character is some kind of counsillor or treatment provider? The whole part about them seeing eye to eye. And how would Elliot even have met that guy outside of the basketball court? I guess it's also possible he's a delusion, but that's strange. Or maybe he's in on the Mr. Robot hack and was instructed to meet at the basketball court. He could also be a police officer.

I thought he was a therapist too but I mean the show has to eventually get Elliot back into hacking so I'm starting to think he's legit. Maybe trying to manipulate Elliot as he knows he's sick.
Brilliantly cast in my opinion.

Elliot is in a beta version of the Matrix and it is glitchy as hell. My theory, anyway.

Elliott high as a kite was classic. Seeming like the jail symbolism was mostly allusion now.

Stupid PVR cut off almost 15 minutes of this week's episode. I recorded the rebroadcast thinking it had just cut off the last few seconds, but then it kept going.

This show. Wow. I cant describe why I thought that episode was great, but it was. Its just every part of it feels like its part of something bigger. Then there's the acting and writing which is probably some of thr best on television.
Why arent more people watching this.

Anyone notice the reference to Pump Up The Volume in the last episode?
Happy Harry Hardon was what Christian Slater's DJ character called himself.

Watched the first 3 episodes of this season. I am finding it pretty boring so far.
Season 1 was great, but I am not sure since the audience knows the 'mystery' behind mr. robot if there is much meat left on the bone.
I hope they can somehow stop spending 2/3 of the episodes dealing with his inner battle with his split personality.

I look at Episode 1 (pt 1 & 2) and Episode 2 as setting the stage for the season. You can't just jump in with crazy stuff happening right off the bat. Elliot just had the mother of all mental breakdowns, how believable would it have been if he was just immediately back to old Elliot hacking away on some new scam?

The show is incredibly complex and requires careful consideration. His personality issues are a metaphor for modern society and play an integral role in the philosophy being presented. His imaginary friend is analogous to fiat/digital currency. A fundamental flaw that can not be managed or reasoned with.
Elliott struggles with Mr. Robot the same way in which Mr. Robot struggles with society. Eternally fighting an illusion is about as cerebral a conflict one could create.
