Shameless? 

No.

Rip?

No.

You clearly don't understand how artistic influence works.

Mr.Robot seriously is the best, and the two episodes I watched from second season has made me forget all other shows. After BB this is my new fix

Yepp, you should see how episode 3 started after that flashback scene - that was amazing, film grade stuff. It's the best TV show ever, instant cult classic.

First of all Fight Club was originally a novel, so if you're going to accuse this TV Show about hacking, something there's not even a hint of in Fight Club, of stealing ideas, you better try and argue that ridiculous point - that it's tasteless to introduce original literary ideas into other art mediums.

Second of all, I'm pretty sure Palahniuk wasn't the first one under the sun with such an idea to begin with. If you're going to hate on Mr Robot because of it, you might as well hate on everything else. Art doesn't exist in a vacuum, where such mediums as TV, film and books are concerned. They're all copying off of each other. Game Of Thrones is similar in a lot of ways to the Dune series by Frank Herbert, except for the fact that they're two completely different genres, just like these two are both different mediums and about two completely different things, even though they share similar narrative undercurrents. Are we going to assume GRRM didn't read the greatest sci-fi series of all time before writing his own fantastic one? Do you see anyone hating on ASOIAF because of it?

Third and not least, Fight Club is 2 decades old. It's about time this old book directly influenced a TV Series with the best it had to give.

OFC I did, binged it from start to finish as soon as it came out, lol.  I'd hate to ruin it further for anyone else by listing off my gripes in itemized fashion, most of which center around the unoriginality of the characters and the lazy steps both not taken -and taken- that, imo, detracted from what it -could- have been.  Still a decent show, but it wouldn't surprise me to see a settlement to chuck p if enough coin is printed.

(@EP..ofc it was a book, a good book, better than the movie..numbskull....sigh. You say "narrative undercurrents" I say..the entire narrative arc plus it's central characters dynamic and relationship)
