Halt and Catch Fire

Gets progressively better as it goes along and ends up with a last season for the ages, packing emotional punches that almost no other show has ever done. If I were to do a ranking on seasons of television, the last season would rank among the best of the best. As you would suspect, the characters and the actors who portray them are the heart and soul of this show. But it also rocks an awesome soundtrack and some great visual flair. Don't be fooled by the rocky start. Stick with it!

Loved this show! Characters are very interesting and well developed. Their passion and dedication to pursue their dreams is endearing: you really want them to succeed. The way the startup world is presented gets you engaged with the story.

Nerdy first season that converts into a tech-drama to become pure drama in the last season.

Overhead the albatross/Hangs motionless upon the air/And deep beneath the rolling waves/In labyrinths of coral caves/The echo of a distant time/Comes willowing across the sand/And everything is green and submarine/And no one showed us to the land/And no one knows the where's or why's/But something stirs and something tries/And starts to climb toward the light.

Incredible, especially the last season.

very good but runs into some extended character cliches ...I think I enjoyed seasons 1 and 3 the best and didn't care for season 4...

Entertainment: 3/4. Spirit: 0.5/3. Society: 1/3. Family: 0/1

It takes somewhere between one and two seasons to see this show's strengths, but it has effective acting and characterization and a subtle neo-noir look. The characters all seem like clichés until situations change, loyalties shift, and true natures emerge. But the way the writers construct scenes grows repetitive, making the show predictable and laborious to watch in places. But that also makes it faithful to its theme: damaged people can't escape other damaged people.
