It is revealed that Stage 2 is underway. Tyrell tells Elliot all about it, but Elliot has no clue. He is under severe pressure, because as the previous seasons mentioned, there are instances where there are many instances under which Mr. Robot might interfere. And that's when Tyrell shoots Elliot and Mr. Robot disappears and Season 3 begins.
Continuing from the end of Season 2 where it was revealed to Elliot, making it clear if anyone had doubts that Elliot had multiple personalities, just like in the movie "Fight Club". The portrayal of events shows that Elliot conveys a character Mr. Robot and thus he has DID, and he truly realizes it near the end of Season 2. But in Season 3, they no longer show a "Sixth Sense" portrayal in the movie, they no longer talk. Instead of that, Elliot and Mr. Robot have their own agenda, somewhere near the end of "Fight Club".
Despite not being in communication with each other, Elliot misses talking to Mr. Robot like he did in the previous seasons. Apart from Mr. Robot's personalities, the reason is that Elliot knows Mr. Robot works for The Dark Army, and he wants to reverse all the damage he has ever done in Seasons 1 and 2. And Mr. Robot is working for The Dark Army.
Rami Malek gives a great performance as Elliot and Mr. Robot, while some scenes of Mr. Robot are filmed by Christian Slater. Rami Malek's performance is really outstanding this season that he deserves an Emmy.
This Season shows the episodes in flashbacks or different POVs many times, but usually it's Elliot and Mr. Robot. The flashbacks explain past events from the two previous Seasons, or the current Season or Episode. Maybe it's just to give more background to the character, but the narrative is always given by Elliot. There is one episode dedicated to Tyrell, with no narrative.
Right after the end of Season 2, Season 3 begins with a new Neo noir look and ends with the same. It always had a Noir effect, but it shows it only in rare instances. The villain Whiterose and leader of the Dark Army who appeared in Season 1, and has thus played a major role throughout her appearance or been mentioned multiple times since then. This season is full of noir events that makes it seem different from the previous two seasons, and thus a new and different TV Show.
Elliot can't trust anyone in the show. His sister Angela is an informant for the FBI, who has been tailing him for quite some time. Dom who is the lead in the investigation has to go through something traumatic herself, which is ironic because it wouldn't have happened if she left Elliot alone. Angela doesn't trust Elliot either because her life went to hell because of The Dark Army in the end of Season 2, but they do trust each at the end. Angela his best friend also doesn't believe in his ideals. That leaves Mr. Robot.
Somewhere in Season 3, Angela helps The Dark Army with Stage 2 which ends up with the destruction of 71 E-Corp buildings. Elliot believes he did it and feels guilty, and so does Angela. Of Course, the sympathy of the people living in New York City helps boost the value of E-Coin, and thus E-Corp thrives.
Tyrell was under Mr. Robot's employ, which is why Elliot was confused. He was previously asked by Mr. Robot to shoot Elliot in case Elliot tries to undo the firmware hack. But that's last season, this season Tyrell finds out that his wife is dead and in order to get custody of his son, he has to give himself up to the FBI. But then, the FBI is under the influence of The Dark Army.
Meanwhile The Dark Army pretends to be fsociety. The Dark Army captures two friends in Elliot's fsociety team, which may or may not have been released by Tyrell. Now I can't even possibly wonder how things go later.
Thing is, every time Elliot fights The Dark Army in any way, their friends get hurt. So by the end of Season 3, he decides to let Mr. Robot in and fight The Dark Army together, and also reverse Five/Nine. We are still waiting for this mysterious Five/Nine that Dom dug up and we keep hearing about in nearly every episode. This is definitely the best psychological thriller TV show so far that I've seen, and if the next last season turns out to be this good, then Mr. Robot might be among my Top 5 shows.
