I like weird, offbeat stuff but this is both incoherent and uninteresting.

It is different, but that's what I tend to enjoy.
I get bored quickly when I'm watching the same old thing.

The payoff in the very last episode of the series is

The series definitely calls for a second viewing, so you can watch all of the pieces of the puzzle fall into place. Rami Malek is absolutely incredible in the role.

Highly recommend giving it a second chance.

I really liked Mr Robot when it came out. It really felt cutting edge at the time. Not sure how well it holds up?

The spoofs they did of Mar-a-Lago were pretty good and this tribute to Knight Rider was awesome 😎

I loved it, but I was hooked in episode 1 and that hook never waned. It's not a show for everyone. I thought it was brilliant, but fully understand why others wouldn't think so.
