One of the best things about Halt And Catch Fire was that it managed to reinvent itself with each new season.Īfter the success of Cardiff Electric's revolutionary new computer The Giant in the first season, the writers pivoted the show from PC revolution to gaming and online communities in season 2. Their personal and professional partnership were challenged by greed and ego but somehow, they formed a very strong bond between them. Set in the 80s, the first season of the show dramatizes the personal computing boom through the eyes of a visionary (Lee Pace), an engineer (Scoot McNairy) and a prodigy programmer (Mackenzie Davis) whose innovations directly confront the corporate powerhouses of the time. But by the end of the season, I was on the edge of my seat waiting to find out the fate of computing companies. I never thought I would care about a show telling the history of personal computers. When it premiered, back in 2014, I was instantly hooked. Halt And Catch Fire captivated me from the start. Lee Pace, Scoot McNairy, Mackenzie Davis, Kerry Bishé, Toby Huss, is probably one of the best cast ever assembled. And some brilliant performances from everyone involved. But unfortunately never really captivated large audiences like some others AMC shows such as The Walking Dead and Better Call Saul.įor me, the show was an underappreciated masterpiece and it never disappointed me once. Halt And Catch Fire, the departed AMC drama, which ended on October 14, was probably one the most critically acclaimed shows of the peak TV era.
