I think it's apparent fairly quickly that there's something off about Elliot's view of people and events but there are plenty of people and things that happen when Elliot isn't around. I found Tyrell and his wife almost cartoonish in their excess.
And the problem I had with the politics is that for the 9 episodes I watched, there was no critique of Mr Robot's plans to attack Evil Corp. The show did at least acknowledge that he's insane but there's no consideration of whether wiping out everyone's debt is really a good idea. I can't get interested in watching a bunch of ignorant hackers trying to "take on the man" without any counter-argument to their simplistic views. I would have been far more interested in storylines about Elliot battling gangsters, pedos and other low-level criminals while dealing with his severe personal issues.
