Halt and Catch Fire (2014)

When we talk about AMC, the first show that comes up is The Walking Dead; and though I'm a huge fan of that show, I'll still always try to draw the attention to Halt and Catch Fire.
Set in the early 80s, this show takes us through the lives of five very different individuals tied together through their love for technology and innovation.

A couple who has settled for the suburban lifestyle with two kids and stable jobs even though they are tech geniuses, an egoistic corporate progeny who believes in ideas more than he believes in himself, a young coder who can give Mark Zuckerberg a run for his money and a small time businessman who keeps their hopes high and their reality grounded. These five individuals cross path again and again and something beautiful like HACF comes out of it.
The show was created by Christopher Cantwell and Christopher C. Rogers and they deserve a lot of praise and appreciation for making the story about more than just tech geeks or technology. It's a story about friendship, love, trust and it plays with so many human emotions that you'll get hooked to it even without understanding Java or CPUs.
Maybe I'm a little biased being a technology lover myself, but with amazing performances by Lee Pace, Scoot McNairy, Kerry Bishe, Mackenzie Davis and Toby Huss, I can promise you that if you give it your time, it'll give you an experience you'll always cherish.
