i loved the show I thought the first 2 seasons was some of the best TV, but season 3 and 4 didn't really hit as hard
You can thank Portia Doubleday for that.

What did she do? Lol haven't seen much of her since the show

She was dating Rami Malek and he broke up with her (don't know more details than that) at the end of the second season. She didn't want to be around him after that, so she asked Sam Esmail to write her out of the show.
This was incredibly unprofessional, in my opinion. Mr. Robot was Sam's Magnum Opus, and the final plot revolved heavily around Portia, so to write her out completely ruined everything. That's why the final season feels like freestyle, amateur jazz, at open mic night. (in the boring part of town)
Most people seem to support her decision. I'm not one of them. I'm guessing most casting directors agree with me, though, so that's why you haven't seen her lately.

Ah I see okay yeah makes a lot of sense now, yeah that is a pretty lame thing to do, no wonder she isn't in any shows or movies anymore. Is there like the original concept before she stuffed up the plan? I'd like to read up about it
