Creator Sam Esmail pulls the curtain back on beginning the ending with a literal bang, in a special edition of The Hollywood Reporter's genre TV podcast Series Regular.
wastes no time establishing the stakes of the year, by killing one of creator Sam Esmail's single most important characters: Angela Moss , childhood friend of Elliot Alderson .
"You're panicking," she tells her increasingly fearful father, echoing words he once said to her long ago. "Remove all emotion from this, and you'll do just fine." "Before we even talked about this as the final season," Esmail continues, "we knew we had to continue that scene from the third season finale [in which Price reveals he's Angela's father]. It was after that where we took a step back and said, 'Wow.' We were all shocked. We love this character. Opening on that was so heartbreaking. We were also pissed off at ourselves. We kept asking: 'Is there a way we can save her?' And we couldn't.
"I sound like a broken record when I say this, but I really mean it: this story has been about following Elliot's emotional journey," says Esmail. "The dynamic between Mr. Robot and Elliot — the dissociative identity disorder that he has — we never wanted it to play as a gimmick. It's crucial to who he is and what his emotional journey is. Elliot and Mr. Robot are not two different people. They are one and the same. There is a piece of Elliot in Mr. Robot, and vice versa.
