To each their own of course. Perhaps it's the underlying plot that really bothers me with Mr. Robot -- it feels very 90s to me, even if the surface details are much better. Today, we live in a world where "lone genius hacker" types are becoming thoroughly commoditized. It's all about careers, money, thesis papers. Weaponised exploits are now bought and sold. To people with capital it might as well be magic, why should they care? If you're a kid who identifies with a character like Elliot on some level, you may not realize that's what you're getting into. Maybe this is toched upon in a way I didn't get or see in Mr. Robot?

Then Westworld is basically science fiction, with a good bit of philosophy (which I didn't expect when I started watching it). I liked the way it shifted perspective between the guests, hosts, and operators throughout each episode so much, it left me questioning reality a bit for a few minutes after each episode.
