Reviewing Mr. Robot - characters touch

Reviewing Mr. Robot, and it enchants me how characters have rhyming traits around common brilliance.

Personages driving the epic are all with alternated minds, of alterations which are considered in society to be sickness or damaged soul, but along with that those minds are deep and wit and inspiring powerful.

Eliot, White Rose, Angela - ok, everyone gets it about each of them, they are the bedrocks of the story dynamics.

Mr. Robot - interesting about him is that he is a ground for the color of emotion. He isn't damaged, or strange, just extremely intelligent - but he is the thread somehow keeping it all together and he is a hook.

Darlene - look how she seconds Mr. Robot's being caring and smart, but also beautiful and soft. She gives the story soft notes which are so comforting to ingest.

Leo - very interesting one. He is not pulling sophisticated world-conquering strategies, he's a world observer. He manages to proceed with observing even in prison, his mind equipped enough to feed on limited set of sitcoms like Seinfield. He is not very emotional, he is fearless, - just observes and sometimes comments, mostly to himself, like keeping a record. Leo does not seem wounded but he is perceivable as a strong one. Now interesting that him being coldblooded, you can't name him a deviant sociopath. Just doing what is needed - and take a look, how that rhymes with Wellick doing what is needed.

Dominique - reflection of Elliot's loneliness is an obvious one. The hue of proper conduct and strive for the right thing to do though is mixing in an interesting way with the two salient lines of Angela's - denial of executing improper requests for implied power gain, and focus on bringing powerfuls to justice.

Wellick - we never know what made him and his wife the way they are. Their bodyguard another subtle rhyme on doing what is needed.

Vera - a contrast stroke to the painting, he is indeed a brave traveler, brightly narrow-minded and bounded, damaged in not that subtle terms and matters but in a more complete way - one can see how his imagination took that damage along with the whole personality. Nevertheless, this seemingly diminished actor is a deadly threat, because limited or not in his aspirations, grasp and vision, he has a gun and is ready to use it - now that is a reminder of negligence is dangerous (look, by the way, what happened when he neglected Krista as a threat).
