If you have, did you get an extremely Fight Club vibe from it? I mean the plot or devices aren't exactly the same, but the general premise just fucking screams Fight Club.
Real spoilers: Group sets up to destroy corporate wealth, at one time a bombing was even in the works. Later found out guy is fucking crazy and he realizes the guy he thought recruited him into it all, was actually just imaginary (to an extent, it's based on his dad, but he died long before any of this started. First scene though basically involves the "Dad" trying to recruit him Which he does, and then sets out to do "terrible things in the name of equality. Later you learn, that person is all just in his head.

I've never seen it but based on your spoiler it sounds like nearly the same premise lol
That said, was it worth your time?

Yeah, it's actually a pretty good show. I kinda got hooked from the first episode. This is far from what makes it great but the fourth wall is constantly broken. He talks to you (directly), as the viewer, but you are merely his "imaginary friend". He likes to include you in the story.
I'd suggest giving it a shot.

USA I think. It says that on every episode. I don't have TV, I just torrent series to binge watch. This has been one of the better ones I've found recently.

I only watched about 15 min of one episode, he was at work having inner dialogue and I got the same Fight Club vibe.

You should watch the rest, I mean I know not everyone likes what I like, but it's a surprisingly damn good show (I'm finishing the last episode of this season now.

It's in the large category of shows that for me are "pretty good, I could get into this, but even though at episode 4 I'm gonna quit watching for no real logical reason" Other shows in that purgatory are Sons of Anarchy, and the Wire.
