Halfway through, and the show surpasses any preconceived notions I had on a suspense series based on a computer hacker.

I am enjoying it more than this season's True Detective.

The flaws are there but limited and not cringe inducing (see above).
The writing and Malek are doing an excellent job of keeping me emotionally invested in Elliot.
I loved last week's hallucinations episode with his morphine withdrawals.
My Beautiful Mind & Fight Club type concerns that Elliot is engineering Mr. Robot and his fsociety compatriots have been tentatively erased.

Just watched the pilot. Holy shit this is good. Scarily relateable yo.

It's all in Rami Malek's eyes yo.

Angela's tangent reduced some of the episode's impact, but I enjoyed the heck out of it.
Man, Tyrell and his wife are one eff'd up couple.

Robot is my favorite series this summer.

I should probably start this. I'm hearing positive things from many people.

Even though Elliot had less this week, Malek still takes MVP while Tyrell is slowly becoming my new favorite small screen psycho -- Patrick Bateman.
Music selection was great from "Pictures of You" to "Two Weeks" to "Hand Covers Bruise".
Is that what you wanted to hear?
Initially, my thoughts were Tyrell was going to either throw Sharon off the roof or seduce her.
Queue: FKA twigs, so seduction ... WTF!!!
Wallström rises.
I think Joanna pulls Tyrell's strings.

R.I.P. Shayla
Opening sequence tugged on the heart strings.

Gloria Ruben's reaction to the, "You watch porn, especially anal" line was priceless.
... But, they're going to die in debt doing things they never wanted to do.
Oh, that one stings a little.

What the hell just happened in this week's episode? :o Now I feel like I'll have to watch all the episodes once more to see how things really are.
