CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

travis-sichel 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!

wwiiboomer It can be said a real "Dreamer" is someone that matters, that makes something from nothing and that, in my opinion, takes hard work. Never have been afraid of hard work and as a perfectionist, it goes with out saying that when I do something, I do it right or I don't do it at all. That's why I hardly do anything ... (SMILE). With all kidding aside, I enjoyed this series very much. It's a fascinating story spanning from the early 80's, spring boarding into the ebbs and tides of the, "Digital Revolution". Like the show, there is nothing more profound in realizing your life's purpose. To share your journey with unique and able individuals, working together as a team, making a difference is a milestone in life. One of the greatest challenges in a career is that it confronts your inadequacy on a daily basis and by staying with it ... well, before you know it--it evolves into the greatest journey of your life. As a participant in the "Digital Revolution", I've learned a hard and simple truth ... achievement is often anonymous. Some of the greatest things done in working with people you admire go quietly unnoticed. Yet, success is measured from results and there is no better reward in having known you were part of something bigger than you and for having it's impact to improve the quality of life. When IBM introduced its first personal computer in 1981, the educational world knew that it was on the verge of greatness. In those days there were lessons learned with consequences. Competition were fierce as the winner took all. The writers and creators of the story set the tone in capturing what it was meant in falling forward, positioning, and living on the bleeding edge. The focus on personal computers and the emergence of their intricate constructs of language; specifically, programming and/or coding were dramatized in a systematic approach in development and progression. In my opinion, stipulations requiring more intuit software ensued to meet the growing needs for the interactive digital gaming demands, and ...Who would have guessed that video gaming would eventually pollinated into the realm of social media? Clearly, a domino effect--affecting all in it's entirely. Uh-oh, with progress comes success, profits are realized, and growth follows. The story dramatized this well. As in real life, misfortunes of capitalism has its way of creeping into success overpowering it for what was and through exploitation ... what it can no longer be. In my meager experiences, I've realized avarice individuals mixed into corporate politics, well, there lies the danger ... egos. A friend of mine once wrote a song that epitomize this well ... he titled it, "There Ain't No Pity In Corporate City". Hum ... sometimes when you find yourself going nowhere, there's no real hurry to get there. And, like this show--somehow, you come away in finding order with great beauty. Nevertheless; the actors, props and/or settings, and writers were just simply ... stellar! It was a joyous facsimile of the past, reveling in nostalgia for what may or never was. Actually, there is some hint to this story, being in part, related to the commodore 64 PC story; i.e., a fraction in comparison to the overall story? In any event, movies are the stuff made from dreams and this is one extraordinary and original series that I encourage all to watch ...!

peripatitis-33392 I find all TV series end up being nothing more than a theme to cover the soap opera underneath (which is the basic difference they have with films). Anyway what i loved about this one is that close to the end it just threw the fake theme away and just run with the people..It almost felt as if the creators loved these characters and knew that they wouldn't get another season.. cool and nostalgic.

escctrlshift This was, all things considered, an original and highly successful series, in spite of being somewhat formulaic. It captures a period of American history that touched many of us deeply. If you remember when Compuserve email addresses were a bunch of digits separate by a comma, or the first time you saw the magic spinning Mosaic icon at the upper right of your browser window, or the first time you saw the Netscape letter "N" humping the spinning globe there, if you remember navigating with a left-pointing arrow on Linux 1.xx or so, using FVWM window manager and so on, you were there and you will like this series.Or, you might just like it for the actresses or actors cast in the various roles. They are all attractive, interesting choices from a casting perspective -- and mostly infeasible, (at least as far as the core hackers are concerned) -- from a real-world, what-do-geeks-really-look-like perspective. If you want to see a room full of realistic-looking hacker-geeks on a major TV series, see Silicon Valley. But there too, the women are really just too good-looking, just as they are on Halt and Catch Fire. Any woman as pretty as Mackenzie Davis or Kerry Bishé is unlikely to tear herself away from the limelight or the mirror long enough to become a good coder. To be a great coder, you really have to not like the sight of your own face that much.In case I didn't make that point strongly enough, girl geeks just aren't pretty enough. However if you think you are, I'd like to hear from you.BUt seriously, this was a good series. It's an object lesson in how pointless, unsatisfying and expensive technology really is. It doesn't make life easier. It just makes life more...technological, and therefore more busy and annoying, which is why we watch retro-themed, nostalgic stuff like this, that tries to recapture the feeling of magic when the Internet was new magic, when web browsers and Java Script were as cool as a Tesla Model 3, etc. etc. Try to imagine a time when "sushi" was indescribably exotic and good, and the waitress had a real Japanese accent. Then watch this series for the same feeling, except, it's raw data you want to consume, immoderately, any way, anyhow.
