Watch it now: ‘Mr. Robot’ S3, ‘You’re the Worst’ S4, ‘Crazy Ex-Girlfriend’ S3

Three standout series returned in 2017 with sharp writing, distinctive visual choices, and performances that kept viewers glued. The seasons offered different flavors of tension, romance, and introspection while staying true to the shows' core identities.

Mr. Robot S3

Logline: Super hacker turned vigilante fights corporations to stop the apocalypse. Verdict: Spoiler alert! Spoiler alert! Sam Esmail’s Mr. Robot thrusts its principal character Elliot Alderson (Rami Malek) and his alternate personality Mr. Robot (Christian Slater) into a further state of war. The first two seasons of the show explored Elliot’s crisis of personality, concluding in the takedown of a major corporation, crippling the global economy. The last few episodes of S3 have shown Mr. Robot going off the grid towards “Stage 2”, bringing anarchy in the world, stopped only by Elliot. It’s a war of the self. This third season recently had an episode filmed entirely in, by magic or otherwise, a single long-take. A breathtaking episode that weaved cameras and juggled Elliot’s rush to stop catastrophe whilst being pursued in a corporate tower. This week featured a thrilling turn of events that keep up the jet-fuel propelled pace, as a meandering season seems to rocket itself towards an ending that has fans endlessly speculating. It looks like nothing else on TV, and USA Network treats the show as its jewel in the crown. We’ve got no idea where this cinematic treat is headed, but it’s fully in a state of constant re-invention. Very much worth catching up on.

You’re the Worst S4

Logline: Two complete bozos destroy their lives in the name of love. Verdict: The fourth season of You’re the Worst closed out a story that, whilst hilarious, seemed often out of focus. It largely resolved the principal tussle between the two main characters. Jimmy (Chris Geere) and Gretchen (Aya Cash) started the show in its first three seasons as star-crossed-actually-not lovers before Jimmy ran away after proposing to her. This fourth season was a long and arduous reconciliation that, whilst entertaining, does make the closure of the shows next season seem to make much more sense. We’ve now reset the show back to day one, it appears, so here’s hoping FXX’s odd, underrated darling can return to its swinging tragi-hilarious heights.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend S3

Logline: Ex-lawyer pursues high school bae, engages in musical hijinks. Verdict: Crazy Ex-Girlfriend in its third season has managed to fulfill the promise laid out in its first: a re-examination of the rom-com, injected with musical flurry, and a genuinely mature understanding of mental health. Season three has followed Rebecca Bunch (Rachel Bloom) and her descent into beneath rock bottom. The series from Bloom and Aline Brosh McKenna isn’t exactly a ratings smash, but The CW keep it as their little critical hit. The show merges musical comedy with Bunch’s attempts to swindle a date from her one-time love Josh Chan (Vincent Rodriguez III) that ended with her being jilted in the previous season. These past few episodes have shown Rebecca stalk Josh like a horror film star, before having a complete nervous breakdown. Covered with complete and total emotional honesty and maturity, Rebecca Bunch attempted suicide. Soap operas and the like use these storylines as disposable emotional fodder, but with Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, there’s a hard and brutally honest take on the issues at its heart. We’re now able to watch Rebecca slowly, and painfully, recover after gaining a new diagnosis. This show is probably the bravest thing on network television, and somehow makes us cry as much as it makes us laugh heartily. A true gem and one of the highlights of television in 2017.

Long-Term Series Legacies

Mr. Robot closed after four seasons in 2019 with a twist-filled finale that leaned into emotional resolution rather than endless conspiracy. The reveal of the Mastermind alter gave Rami Malek’s performance a final layer that fans still debate. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend ended the same year by shifting focus from romantic pursuit to self-acceptance, a move that aligned with the series’ growing emphasis on mental health. Rachel Bloom and Aline Brosh McKenna steered the story toward Rebecca learning to value her own stability. You’re the Worst ran five seasons total, finishing in 2019 with critics noting its sustained look at clinical depression and the messy work of recovery. The final episodes revisited Jimmy and Gretchen’s relationship without forcing a tidy bow, matching the show’s long-standing refusal to glamorize dysfunction.

Production Innovations Highlighted

Mr. Robot’s single-take episode eps3.4_runtime-error.r00 stretched nearly forty-five minutes and followed Elliot and Angela through the E Corp building during the chaos of Stage 2. Stabilizing rigs and precise cueing kept the camera fluid while actors navigated corridors, elevators, and sudden violence. The unbroken shot forced viewers to stay inside Elliot’s adrenaline and confusion without a cut to reset tension. You’re the Worst leaned on long two-handers between Jimmy and Gretchen that let dialogue breathe and silences land. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend built elaborate musical numbers around everyday locations, turning a therapist’s office or a grocery aisle into full production numbers without losing emotional grounding.

Mental Health Storytelling Impact

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend gave Rebecca a Borderline Personality Disorder diagnosis after her hospitalization and used subsequent episodes to show the slow work of therapy and medication. The series avoided quick fixes and let Rebecca’s progress include setbacks. You’re the Worst portrayed Gretchen’s depression with clinical detail, including sessions with a therapist and the daily effort required to manage symptoms. Mr. Robot framed Elliot’s dissociative identity disorder as both a survival tool and a source of isolation, never reducing the condition to a simple plot device. Each show treated mental health as ongoing rather than a single-season arc.

Where to Watch and Availability in 2026

All three series stream on major platforms as of 2026. Mr. Robot is available on Amazon Prime Video and Peacock. You’re the Worst can be found on Hulu and FXX’s on-demand service. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend streams on Netflix and The CW app. New viewers can start from season one knowing each show reached a planned conclusion rather than an abrupt cancellation. The complete runs make it easier to track character growth across multiple seasons instead of stopping at the 2017 cliffhangers.

These seasons still reward rewatches for their technical ambition and character honesty. The long-take stunt in Mr. Robot, the raw relationship work in You’re the Worst, and the honest mental health arc in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend hold up because the creative teams treated craft and emotion with equal care. Streaming access now lets audiences experience the full arcs that began in those 2017 episodes.
