Both these shows have a first couple of seasons of slog. Mr Robot gets a bit better, but it's not worth it. The Office (US) was worth it for me -- eventually they settle into a groove of silly hijinks punctuated by occasional emotional connection and it just works. Mr Robot though suffers from a writers room that think telling a story in an over-engineered way makes it more engaging, and it just mires in that conceit for far too long. It's a movie, maybe a miniseries worth of content they tried to stretch out to four seasons. It has its moments, but they are not worth the trip IMO.
