SPOILER-ish comment: I tried not to be explicit about the details.

>Mr. Robot is that it's told through the eyes of an unreliable narrator //

When they drop the bombshell of that reality in the second series, that the narrator is unreliable, was a great moment that had me giggling with glee. I'd been guessing "oh, that guy is another element of his own dissociated personality", but never quite guessed the full gravity of it.

The "breakdown" episode [there's just one!?!] where his family are on vacation in pseudo-flashback with smaltzy sitcom styling whilst not great to watch was a real testament to how different this show was IMO.

(spoilers) The Fight Club parallels were there from the very first time he saw Mr. Robot in the episode one. So I kind of expected what was coming.

I'm not referring to the father, that was clear very early; the prison though, that had me hook-line-sinker.
