Season Three Ratings

Telly’s Take
The third season premiere of Mr. Robot was way down in the ratings and the numbers have dropped lower. The series has drawn critical acclaim, as well as awards, for the basic cable channel. That’s a good sign and I suspect, even if the ratings drop lower, those factors will be enough to keep Mr. Robot on the air. The second season had 12 episodes and season three only has 10. Perhaps season four would have eight or fewer installments. I’ll keep an eye out for any signs. Subscribe for free updates on any Mr. Robot cancellation or renewal news.

What do you think? Do you hope the Mr. Robot TV show will be renewed for a fourth season? How would you feel if USA Network cancelled this TV series, instead?
Sam Esmail should stop directing all the episodes. The show has become way to internal and esoteric. Season 1 was well balanced.
After the “big reveal” of the excellent season 1, this show has been a horrific dumpster fire. There’s no mystery as to why nobody watches it anymore. It’s hardly even promoted. This was a one-season show.
Excellent show-no mindless content here- do not cancel, looking forward to another season, Do not base any show decisions off of ratings.., the ratings only sample a small segment of population who mostly enjoy those weekly mindless stupid situation comedy type. Keep Mr Robot going
Bring him back for season 4. Great show!
The show should finish with live ratings above a 0,20. I will be shocked if it isn’t renewed.
season 2 really hurt them. season 3 has been nothing but fire.
A dumpster fire.
I think maybe the Freddy Mercury biopic might buy us a season 4. albeit a short one.
Don’t cancel Mr. Robot, Best show on TV!
With its current ratings, I would say season 4 is still up in the air.
