Halt and Catch Fire

Back in the day. I used to think that was the wire, but I gained an audience and a cultural moment. Then I'd say it was the Americans, but while not enough people watched it, you can and will find those that saw it and / or at least people sort of remember the "Felicity is a Russia Spy" show.

This truly is it. The very best show no one really watched. I was one of them and no longer am. Due to life/kids/not being able to DL the episodes on Netflix, it just took me a while to get to it. But boy, when I did..

I've watched all the great peak TV shows. I'm not going to name them all. We all know them. I probably can't say this one was the absolute best.. but it's up there. Its the one I enjoyed the most and am saddest now that I've seen the last one and the journey is over. I will miss these guys.

Well done to those of you who created and acted in it. I will miss watching you in this world very much and now root for you in the other projects you endeavor in.

Man. what a great show. Thanks you,

Just watched the Pilot - pretty slick stuff. Nothing ground-breaking, but solid fundamentals all there - plot, acting, script, prod design, music, pacing (no pun intended, lol). Speaking of Pace, the guy has presence and this attractive intensity about him that makes for a dynamic character. Also, already showing good character development, good plot devices, and intrigue. I always found the history of the evolution of computers and the internet and cell phones to be fascinating, and this looks to be another engaging foray into that often inaccessible world. They even manage to explain the technical and legal jargon well enough. On an unrelated note, I can't get over the fact that I think Mackenzie Davis is a dead ringer for a young Robin Wright. Looks like she could be the American Lisbeth Salander albeit with just a tad bit less edge. Decent music too, and I love anything 80's anyways. Best TV techie show since the underrated TV movie Pirates of Silicon Valley. So good so far, looks like another winner for AMC.

This is the first show I have seen, and I've seen plenty, where after binging all four seasons in two weeks, I just started all over again.

One of the best written shows to have ever lasted 4 wonderful seasons. Amazing from start to finish. With seasons 1 & 4 being my personal favorites!

I am in awe of the writing and the acting. This show epitomises the idea of character-driven. The emotional truth of the script and the actors is on a different plane to anything you might have seen. Comparisons with Mad Men and other shows are irrelevant. There is no comparison. These people are as real as fictional characters can get. The show is a deeply spiritual experience. Transcendental. Thank you.
