The finale airs tonight or tomorrow night. Have you seen the original series from BBC Criminal Justice?
I saw only the first episode of The Night Of yesterday but I found myself thinking about it all day and I will watch as much as my eyes can handle this evening. The amount of good in that episode was way too much, story line, script, acting the whole thing....

The problem with Mr Robot is that it isn't weird. It is incredibly mainstream actually. Not only is the actual premisse a simple modern Robin Hood, the protagonist also holds a worldview that is increasingly common among young people and that is filled with halftruths at best.
Don't get me wrong, I actually quite like the show. But it is something that was obviously created with the reddit generation in mind.
Take this entire conglomerates are bad thing they've got going on. That's an idea that is very prevalent these days, but I don't agree with it at all. Conglomerates are simply amoral. There is no good or bad, there's just profit. A smart show would also say you need to fight them, but wouldn't link it with morality.
As always, not nearly as good as The Wire.

If you use that standard for every show, you're gonna be incredibly disappointed every time 
Agree mostly with you, it's a great show and I really like it, but not in the GOAT category. A little bit too pretentious at times, tries to be too critically socially for its own good, it just isn't all that deep as it pretends to be.
