Is it premature to label an as-yet one-season show the best on the air? Perhaps not: Unlike the aforementioned True Detective, there’s a significantly reduced risk of Mr. Robot going off the rails in season two and beyond. This is because, unlike Nic Pizzolatto’s chapter-by-chapter approach on True Detective, Sam Esmail has Mr. Robot planned out until the very final episode.

Originally, Esmail wrote Mr. Robot as a screenplay for a feature, not a TV series. When he found the screenplay was dragging out longer and further than expected, he decided to transform the first third of his story into the first season of Mr. Robot.

What’s left from that original story will make up another three or four seasons, according to Esmail. This means fans aren’t due a Lost-style scenario of unplanned seasons spiralling into inanity and confusion; it means that, with the story already mapped out, there’s good reason to believe each subsequent season will be as good as the first.
