Mr.Robot, original? interesting? your view!

So the shows Mr.Robot is finally picking up traction in my neighbourhood and I was wondering what other people think of the show.

To those that have seen it I'd like to ask :

What do you think of the way they are telling the story
How many curveballs did you see coming?
Did you like the show?
Would you like to see more shows like this? (regarding the mental state of the main character)



Personally I have to say I'm impressed, not only by their views on the psychological and drug aspects but by the boundaries they dare to break without really blinking much at their doing so (same sex intimacy just being used in the most casual way, which is a good thing).


Now obviously if you've watched this show there's a lot to discuss, it's kind of sad that one can't talk about the show at the moment without giving up too much of the plot and the way the show is being spun so my apologies in advance for this chaotic post.

I think the show's pilot was very strong, but it has been a rapid downhill descent since then. Mr Robot is increasing muddled and unfocused. It's basically a symptom of what is wrong with TV writing -- heaps of material that would be axed from a film due to running time is kept, and it's bad material that doesn't contribute significantly to the story. The end result is a lot of bloat and a storyline that walks around in circles instead of actually going somewhere.
