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.

Huhโ€ฆ never heard of that show but Iโ€™ll be watching it now.

Thanks.

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

Oh how I envy that you get to enjoy halt and catch fire for the first time :)

I was actually sad when I finished it because I felt so connected to the main characters, didn't want the ride to end.

It's definitely rewatchable.

Might be time for another spin

Well, now you got me tearing up because of Futurama. "What do you say? Want to go around again?"

[โ€“] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I already did!

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

Much better than Mr Robot to me.

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.
