Halt and Catch Fire

[cornytone]

Anybody watch this amazing period drama.

It was top Notch. Usually, I am fan of blood, gore, murder, and mayhem but this show was unique for its slow pace, emotional depth, well rounded characters and subject matter. A four season series about computer technology, entrepreneurship, risk, failure, friendships and betrayals. Wondering if anyone else watched it and enjoyed it as much as I did. I am still reeling from its conclusion. Like losing a bunch of friends. It unrelatable with most other shows.

I now have the whole series but only watched about half. The problem is it was always the side show. Microchips, then computers, then internet, then... was mostly here in Silicon Valley and later also Seattle. Texas had TI, Tandy and a few others but never the main players. then they moved to N Cal but pick San Francisco. Yes It's prettier to shoot in than Sunnyvale but that's not where the action is, until recently.
