Season 1 was great, but I am not sure since the audience knows the 'mystery' behind mr. robot if there is much meat left on the bone.
I hope they can somehow stop spending 2/3 of the zepisodes dealing with his inner battle with his split personality.

The show is incredibly complex and requires careful consideration. His personality issues are a metaphor for modern society and play an integral role in the philosophy being presented. His imaginary friend is analogous to fiat/digital currency. A fundamental flaw that can not be managed or reasoned with.
Elliott struggles with Mr. Robot the same way in which Mr. Robot struggles with society. Eternally fighting an illusion is about as cerebral a conflict one could create.
