It’s great but it ain’t no Mr. Robot.

One is a deeply human drama, the other is a spy thriller. Not sure why you'd even make the comparison.
I'm assuming Mr Robot is the spy thriller? It feels like more of a deeply human drama to me.
You have a very different perception of 'human' than I do!
The main character suffers from DID. From trauma that happened when he was little. Maybe you didn't watch the whole thing, that seems pretty "human drama"-ey to me.
That's not human drama. That's a sensationalized depiction of a really rare disorder that 99% of the audience has no experience with and cannot relate directly to.
Of course that's human drama, the entire show is drama. Even the "spy thriller" subplot is motivated by death of Whiterose's partner and the need to put the world back the way it was.
They ran contemporaneously and tended to come up on the same lunch table conversations.
I couldn’t get past all the drug scenes in Mr Robot.
It didn't peak before the end of season one?
