    How did I miss it! It is awesome.Whether you are a IT guy or just into a good drama, I really recommend this. It is not just an IT good feelings show, but sneaky and law breaking. Rings a bit of Mr Robot or Breaking Bad, it remains very down to earth and a good feeling of real. Really good!

    I've seen every episode of this fantastic serie (4 seasons). I just love it! Of course it has some episodes that aren't 100% great but as a serie I feel it's as good as it gets. My favorite thing is the enormous love for the characters and their life. They all change during the serie and in the end none is the same as in the beginning. A well written dialogue and the way the characters grow is quite unique in this time, where series like this one often doesn't get the chance to exist more than a season.For me, Halt and Catch Fire is a serie about strong women, working in a field mainly controlled by men. They have to work hard to keep the companies alive. The male characters are great as well, with a lot of feelings and (both) having to deal with severe life changes. For me though, the women have the most interesting characters. This is a serie based on a technical evolution but still, it often has a tiny role, far away from the characters life. It isn't easy for any of them, they are humans with faults and problems but still - they keep trying. Lovely serie that the whole family liked!

    Joe MacMillan & Cameron Howe became two of the most annoying characters on TV history. You could tell when Joe was serious and moody, as his glasses disappeared and his hair became longer. I also lost track of the amount of 'motivating' and pacing speeches he made - usually followed by a scene of him getting moody. Cameron Howe's personality disorder made her all but likeable other than the first 2 episodes that she appeared in. Immaturity and the passive aggressive tone, tends to lose its appeal after a certain amount of episodes?Watch the first couple of seasons - they ain't bad, but 3 and 4 is the same scene played over and over. They break up, get back together, emotional scene, happy him, happy her, moody him, moody her, funny interlude, loud guitar music, good mood, bad mood...etc etc etc. The final 2 episodes weren't too bad though - probably because they had more to think about? Also (and as an important side note) Kerry Bishé as Donna Clark, totally wins in her portrayal of the MILF of the week - which looking back, is probably what kept me hanging in until the end.

    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.
