Halt and Catch Fire is set roughly one year after IBM all but corners the market with the release of its first major product – the IBM PC. In this fictional drama, a former IBM executive, Joe MacMillan plans to reverse engineer the flagship product of his former employer and forces his current company, Cardiff Electric, into the personal computer race. MacMillan enlists the help of Gordon Clark, a great engineer whose unrealized dreams of creating a revolutionary product have created tension in his marriage to Donna, and Cameron Howe, a volatile prodigy who puts her future in jeopardy to join MacMillan's rogue PC project. Halt and Catch Fire thrives on the spirit of innovation and explores what it's like to stand at the forefront of something world-changing and work towards it, no matter the risk. |

AMC never promoted it or Turn Washington Spies or The Son
AMC does that sometimes. For every “Mad Men”, “Breaking Bad” or TWD, there are dozens of shows like the ones you mentioned that they almost forgot they aired lol.
I fell in love with this when it first played. Couldn’t wait for each new episode to air. Actors have gone on to other good roles too.
yeah once you start watching you cant stop! i loved that show and very few i can say about that !
I must say that this is one of the loveliest shows i ever have seen. It has suspense, warmth, truthfulness, sorrow over loss and a lot of beautiful wisdom. All main characters are superbly cast and it was so easy and fruitful to bond with them.. This is a show of absolute highest quality regardless of if computers are your “thing” or not. I recommend it with highest regards. 5/5 with thankfulness in my heart.
Just from your beautifully written review, I am now going to add this to my list of shows to watch! Thank you!
Yes I agree .. what an intriguing review. I am now watching the first episode!
Totes love this! Been bingeing it all weekend. The weaving of the story line keeps you guessing as to where it is going, zero predictability. Love it.
this show goes in the vault of greatness LOST ‘’’ BREAKING BAD ‘’ TWIN PEAKS ‘’ so many others !!!!!!
Best soundtrack for a TV series, ever.
One of the best series I have ever seen. Very sad, I actually cried. Recommended bunch of times to people for a great watch.
amc did it agian another gem !
every single character is an emotionally stunted unsympathetic piece of human garbage prone to minimum 3 tantrums each per episode. You hate them all so much you want to see them fail or hope one of them gets murdered for satisfaction and to see anything happen . The writers try too hard to try and make something so plot less and mundane artificially dramatic. How did this get 4 seasons on AMC ??? who found this entertaining ?? Mad Men was boring but at least it had multi dimensional fascinating characters that have arcs….these people are just selfish assholes that stay selfish assholes.
