Maybe a little naive in its social commentary and over-stylized villains, but I am liking the dark tone, the focus on the characters rather than the story, and the way it plays with camera angles and editing along with Elliot's feelings. The convoluted and derivative plot, which is pretty much Fight Club with keyboards instead of muscles, is not exactly the show's biggest strength. Too many things are poorly explained and hardly anything that happens seems to have any real consequences on the characters. Are NY police that dumb? It was pretty obvious that Mr. Robot wasn't a real thing, but I didn't expect him to a projection of Elliot's father. Not a big fan of Angela's storyline so far, but it looks like it might improve from the next season.
