I think it was an amazing show.
However, while the show grabs your attention with its initial vigilante hacker plot, the story is fundamentally about the MC making peace with his mental trauma (which is incidentally why people tend to find season 2-3 weaker, since the vigilante hacker stuff takes a bit of a backseat), so if you enjoy great character development, an unreliable narrator (due to mental trauma) that makes you question what's real and what isn't, shrouded with a gripping vigilante hacker story line, then I do recommend this show.
Also, I'm a big fan of all the shows you mentioned (happy to see Le Bureau des Légendes get some love), and also a big fan of this one, so take that as you will.
I think the struggle with a lot of people is that while the show starts off as a vigilante hacker story, it starts to focus more on the psychology of the main character, which some people enjoyed less.
The final season is fantastic and the show has probably one of the most satisfying endings I've ever seen.

Not sure what that has to do with my post.

I doubt we'll see them burn the Kremlin, but that would be something.

I'm personally not too worried about the actual HBO content (not HBO max).
It's not like HBO hasn't cancelled shows in the past; Carnivale, Rome, Deadwood come to mind.
Westworld was too expensive for the ratings it was getting.

2000s probably has my top shows of all time, but 2010s+ probably has more good shows.

Stop watching marvel movies/tv shows.
Problem solved.

Well, they're both similar in the sense that they're both fundamentally about the protagonist's mental trauma, both have unreliable narrators as a result of this psychological trauma, and both are about how one comes to resolve that trauma to finally find peace.
The main difference is that Mr Robot has a lot more action/thriller elements to its plot.
