The Perfect Edition

Season 2 of “Mr. Robot” premiered last night, to much critical acclaim. Show creator Sam Esmail recently stated that for this season, he has taken on the role of director for every episode, in addition to remaining in the role of showrunner. While it’s impossible(so far) to argue with the outcome - the two-part premiere was, to put it mildly, a work of art - who among us is up to the challenge of controlling every aspect of a project? Is that a sustainable model? How do you know if you can do it, and what do you do if you can’t? We discuss these questions and more in this week’s episode, “The Perfect Edition.”
