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.
I suppose we should be grateful that this wasn't cancelled after one or two seasons which is what generally happens to the best shows, but it clearly deserved more seasons.
This is one of those shows that has everything; cast, writing, production design, performances, and the subject matter is super compelling.
That said, I suspect the female audience wasn't as interested in the tech aspects of the show as the male audience, which I would think resulted in low viewership ratings.
What a shame.

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!
One of the best drama series of all times. Can't remember when I last cried watching a TV series, but "Halt and Catch Fire" made me sob. Wonderful characters. Compelling mixture of fact and fiction. Great actors.
I lived through most of the computer history that is being presented in the plot-line, and I have to say: it is SPOT ON. I will remain a fan forever.

This is a show you come back to and re-watch, because it's that good. It so fun to watch the character development of the four leads over the years. The soundtrack, the clothes and computers - all period details from the 80s and 90s are lovingly curated. The thoughtful, passionate debates between characters along the lines of the West Wing (my all time favorite show). The female characters shine as complex and flawed, there are no two-dimensional heroes or villains. Great writing, great acting.

- Trivia"HCF" ("Halt and Catch Fire") is from one of a number of lists of humourous assembly command mnemonics. Others are "BrH" ("Branch and Hang" and "DWIM" ("Do What I Meant"). {DWIM, if it existed, would be the single most useful programming command ever.} HCF refers to a computer machine code instruction that causes the computer's central processing unit (CPU) to cease meaningful operation, typically requiring a restart of the computer.
