I'm still on the fence on this one. Watching with interest but fighting the impression that it's simply Mad Men repackaged.
The series is okay, not great.
It attracts those of us who had an interest in the technology of that era. My first computer experience was using a TRS-80, Model II at work. When the Dept. Head purchased the system, everyone else in the Dept was afraid to even touch it.
It's the standard in TV these days when a woman is part of the boys' club. Or law office, or precinct house, or platoon, or study group.
Cameron does come on a bit strong and irritating, but my understanding is that's a mark of a true visionary. Nothing else matters but the vision (including personal hygiene). The whole premise hinges on her, so she has to be an unpredictable wild card.
Gordon's intriguing to me. Being played as a guy who "had his shot" and lost and now relegated to performing mind-numbing work to earn a living, but there's still some gas left in his tank. I liked his transition from episode 1 to episode 2. Good to see him get his backbone back.
Still hanging in there for now, but I don't think it's ever going to rise to the level of replacing Mad Men for me.
I watch the first episode and didn’t care for it, but I’m willing to give it a little longer because AMC shows start slowly. Reading hexadecimal codes from LEDs doesn’t make for thrilling TV, especially when one of the values they read was wrong (1101 is D not B).
I watched about 1 1/2 episodes and deleted it. I’ve had my fill of main characters who are sociopaths.
Yes the oh-so-hip Cameron was way too sure of herself and too dismissive of anything else; there was nothing I liked about her either.
I bought my first computer, and IBM PC back in April of 1983. With the printer and monitor the entire system cost me over $6,000.
Just to show you how prices have fallen in the industry, I just bought a Thinkpad last month, which is easily 10 times faster with 1,000 times more storage capacity, for $650.
watched a few minutes of the start.
disliked the characters, nothing redeemable, stopped and deleted.
Complete waste of time.
A fake command used as a title to a series that is best left in the bargain bin software box.
Pretty sobering that the 1980s have become the old days.
I like the show,, and still believe there is potential for a show showing the early days here in SV..
I hear the 80’s were rockin’ out here...
When Lee Pace started making out with that dude, I deleted the series from my DVR. No thanks.
Someone mentioned Fargo. It’s one of the few shows I will buy on Blu-Ray when it comes out. Great show.
