Man. There are not enough good things to say about this show. Esmail is an incredible writer, one that certainly thinks beyond just episode to episode. Rami Malek gives such a commanding performance as our unreliable narrator with an unforgivingly bleak outlook on society as a whole, but somehow still manages to be likable. All of the characters are multi-dimensional and bring something uniquely enticing to every scene. Add to that some twists that had zero warning but still make perfect sense left me thinking that this is some of the most brilliant writing I've seen on cable TV. This isn't for everyone, though. I'll be the first to admit this show will be off-putting to a lot of people with its cynical edge, but I definitely think it's worth a shot. PS: That soundtrack. A+
