Halt & Catch Fire

I kind of brought this up yesterday but figured I'd make a thread. If you are a tech head and enjoy shows about tech then you might like this one. It revolves around the early days of computing and is on it second season.

Well I'm certainty both of those, but I didn't like the show.

The plot really interested me, and I tried hard to like this series, but I stopped watching at the 6th episode. Each episode implies that "something big is going to happen", but nothing ever does.

I found the show be very slow paced, stereotypical, and generally cliché. In addition, most of the main characters are annoying and unlikable.

Yeah it was pretty bad, and the two main actors are just plain terrible

I find the old tech and how far we've come very fascinating, that's what got me into the show, but it's losing my attention this season. I'll still go back to it here and there.

I've quite enjoyed this show. It's a different scene than any other show out there and the actors, though not super awesome, are different enough to embody their own roles. Worth a watch if you ask me.

Still can't believe that John Bosworth (Toby Huss) used to be The Wiz in Seinfeld. Nobody beats me cuz I'm The Wiz!
