I'm thinking of watching 'Halt and Catch Fire', but I'm also taking a hardware & OS course right now, and I was worried that it might teach me some wrong stuff. I might wait till after the final to watch it.

Huh… never heard of that show but I’ll be watching it now.

Thanks.

As others have said, Silicon Valley and Mr Robot were pretty close for my area of work.

Wow! I totally forgot I'd watched it when it was first airing. Great show - might have to rewatch and see if the wife likes it. Reminded me of the days when Digital ruled the data centre.

It's really good. People seem to have missed it, it's a hidden gem.

Much better than Mr Robot to me.
