Halt and Catch Fire plot

The series is set in early 1980s Texas. Joe MacMillan is an ambitious businessman with a past at IBM. One day he joins the humble computer company Cardiff Electric. There he meets Gordon Clark, a talented but unsung computer engineer with a drinking problem. When the pair try to reverse engineer IBM's PC to create a better and cheaper computer, a fierce competition ensues between MacMillan's previous and current employer. To prevent IBM from suing them, Cardiff Electric hires young computer engineer Cameron Howe.

Halt and Catch Fire season 1

Very nice series, which reminded me a bit of House MD in terms of pace, characters and alternation between drama and comedy. The early 80s setting is very interesting, complete with a wealth of visual details and references. Fortunately, the series does not drown in nostalgia, but the plot lines are also very worthwhile. Excellently played and strongly portrayed. I will definitely watch the next seasons.
