alt Hacker NewsIt was a fun show. I really enjoyed it, a fictional run through the 80s and 90s computing industries.

Same showrunner is doing the current season of The Terror (a/k/a "North Pole Bear Show" in my review notes; that first season was excellent).
I still have it downloaded somewhere as wanted to watch it again. It was great
It's a shame that it is such a niche show in practice. The acting of Lee Pace and Mackenzie Davis in particular are so good across all 4 seasons.
I recommend it at every chance I get, but few people ever watch it. They're more likely to give Silicon Valley a try.
Same. It shows the link between big oil and companies in Texas and then computing moving to California. It both shows mainframe, personal computers (the C64) and then beige PC taking over.
Great intro too:
It really starts strong too. The first couple of episodes are fantastic.
Yeah a truly fantastic show all the way through the end. One of my favorites by far.
