First episode is already available to grab. It already has me hooked enough to keep going. I think they could have some great storylines down the road and I hope they got *one* particular thing out of the way already.

did anyone watch this? its sitting on my DVR, not sure if its worth watching

6/5/2014 2:05:27 PM

same here .. going to watch it tonight i think

6/5/2014 3:51:37 PM

watched the first one when it aired. It was OK. I'll keep watching for now. The first one seemed a bit clunky at times: they made some big jumps or resolved things rather abruptly at times. I know they were trying to knock out the setup though so we'll see where it goes from here.

6/5/2014 4:08:26 PM

clunky is a good word to describe what happened in episode one

i will keep watching b/c i love well shot TV set in the 80s

the speak and spell brought back some memories

6/8/2014 10:44:57 PM

Ridiculous overacting

Dude sounds exactly like don draper

they definitely need to find their stride but I could see that taking a good 4 or 5 episodes.

the entire episode tried too hard in my opinion.

6/9/2014 9:39:00 AM

Anyone still watching?

Still over the top ... Still not sure how I feel about he show but I'll keep watching as I love the concept

6/23/2014 9:33:12 AM

I haven't given up on it yet. Hopefully it gets better in the back half of the season.

6/24/2014 12:35:04 AM

when i reflect on this show, i can't identify much that is filler but, at the same time, i don't believe it to have the same drama as the other shows. it just doesn't captivate me. i'm not invested in any of the characters. all of which is a shame because i'm a sucker for period dramas and love geeky stuff. this should be a direct hit.

6/24/2014 10:12:20 AM

same. We are through 3 episodes so far. It's decent but a bit predictable and almost campy at times. We'll see...

6/25/2014 8:20:05 AM

Pretty much done with this show after this past weeks episode. sure, there is drama but the drama isn't providing any development ...or is even particularly consistent, in my opinion.

6/30/2014 9:53:49 AM

Good episode. Gordon was actually hilarious

7/21/2014 1:49:29 AM

Hope they don't cancel it. Think it came around by the end.

Seems to be differing itself from Mad Men because its more about bill gates than it is about steve jobs.

Guessing the scene with the Mac on the end is not far from the truth when it first came out. Was so far ahead of anything out at the time, it was ridiculous.

Also, the theme song is good and chicks are hot.

really dig this show. binge watched the last 4 eps.

8/3/2014 1:02:35 PM

Was on the fence about this at first, but really enjoyed it. Hope they bring it back for another season, totally left it open for another.

8/4/2014 10:23:30 PM

Haven't watched the last episode but it did pick up. I actually enjoyed it foe the most part

8/5/2014 9:14:03 AM

renewed

8/20/2014 8:38:04 PM

Season 2 this Sunday!!! I loved this series, but I wish it was on a Wednesday or something. Sunday is overloaded right now vs. other days of the week when it comes to decent shows.

5/29/2015 6:12:14 PM

ARE YOU READY?!?!?

Quote :

"My hope for AMC’s Halt and Catch Fire — the ‘80s period drama that begins its second season this Sunday — is that it will live long enough to work its way through one of the most pivotal periods in modern computing, from the rise of the PC to the explosion of the internet. The show won me over by lovingly exploring the world of IBM clones, and if the first four episodes of season two are any indication, its characters are doing their best to catch the technological zeitgeist again. But as they do, the series risks losing the focus that’s made it great so far."

Seriously though, did they have to put this on a Sunday night? Compared to every other day, Sunday is loaded to the gills right now.

Are there really no fans on TWW?

6/15/2015 5:46:55 PM

i liked season one. didn't know season 2 was out yet, sweet

6/15/2015 6:13:21 PM

Season 2 >>>>>>>>> Season 1

7/6/2015 5:58:12 PM

Amazing episode last night!!

7/20/2015 6:43:01 PM

I hope they kill off Gordon, he's the worst this season.

7/21/2015 10:06:33 PM

^ for real. his entire story line this week consisted of him not being able to find his car? come on.

8/1/2015 12:11:40 AM

don't know if anyone is still watching this, but rumor has it, AMC is sneak premiering the season premiere at 11 tonight. currently listing a 2 hour talking dead.

8/21/2016 8:50:27 PM

I just starting watching this show. About halfway through the first season. I should be able to catch up in a few weeks. Not that into it to be honest and I kinda don't enjoy watching Lee Pace act but I'm intrigued enough to stick with it.
(I haven't read any of this thread except the previous post)

8/21/2016 8:59:01 PM

^ season one is hit or miss, but season 2 is a game changer. really really really good tv

8/22/2016 1:02:36 PM

Please let Gordon die already.

9/8/2016 5:44:26 PM

Finally caught up. Show improves tenfold once the show shifts to the women in season two and three but the writers don't really know what to do with Gordan most of the time. I like seeing Joe as this larger than life character with a Steve Jobs mythology but I hate seeing him through Ryan's POV. Ryan is worse than Gordan.

9/26/2016 9:50:53 PM

i thought gordon was good in last night's episode

[Edited on September 28, 2016 at 10:21 AM. Reason : cameron is who has always annoyed me]

9/28/2016 10:21:25 AM

So far Season 3 is not as good as Season 2, but I am still digging it. Gordon is more sympathetic/interesting.

10/1/2016 11:25:09 PM

Actually excited to see Gordon and Joe get into business together again. Definitely hasn't been as good as last season, but still one of my favorite shows on right now.

10/2/2016 12:36:13 AM

I really liked that last episode and find this season just as interesting as Season 2. I also like that Gordan and Joe are getting back together but the Gordan sure did make a quick turn around by offering to work with him. I was looking at the ratings and there's no way this gets picked up for forth season right?

10/2/2016 8:23:00 PM

Two-part season finale was great. It's hard to believe this is the same show from season one. Glad it got renewed for one more season.

10/13/2016 11:35:52 PM

So now the big question is - what's Donna up to? Is she going to CERN to help, or to fuck over Cam?

I'm inclined to think that this show will want a positive(ish) ending. Gordon's probably gonna get real sick, so they can't have Donna vs. Cam be season 4.

Another great season, excited for next year

10/14/2016 1:11:17 PM

Man, I'm really glad this show got a final season.

Also, not sure why, especially since I was calling for his death in S2, but Gordans death was really
