AMC could have done better. Do a series about Michael Dell

I actually thought tonight's episode was the best so far. Of course they depended on a lot of surprises and big things happening. But they pulled them off pretty well IMO.

Well, that plot line didn't turn out the way I was expecting.
She leaned into that one. Man I would smash Donna so hard. Nice to see your husband digging for a giant in the backyard after getting turned down on a road bang.
On another note, Joe is a straight up freak which even makes Cameron confused. I've come in a complete circle on John. I enjoy his character more and more. I think people in the company respect him way more than Joe and he has sort of become their mascot so to speak. He doesn't understand exactly what they are doing but he is all in at this point.

I must be the only living soul watching this show.
The last episode sucked for several reasons. It's looking like this show wasn't made to go 2 seasons. I guess will see?

Go on...
I actually thought the last 2 episodes were good. They're moving the story along and now the hot wife has joined. John is cool now when I didn't like him in the beginning. Still don't like Joe much and Cameron/Gordon are annoying, but I do want to see where this goes. Not sure we will though

Anybody still watching this? It's about to start. I've stuck with it so far.

I am trying to stay with it but it is hard

Just DLd and watched the latest episode.
Holy shite, did not see any of that coming.
Dude stole the machine from the wife, "I am Macintosh"
IDK, I like the show personally

Yeah. Two different occurrences though, right? They flipped it on the guy that was working with the wife (there had to be SOME reason why he turned down hitting that chick) by taking out the interactive interface thus coming in faster and cheaper than his machine.
But it seems like the show was trying to say by doing so they gave up a significant thing - I'm thinking we were supposed to think it could have competed with McIntosh if they had kept the interface in? (though it didn't talk like the Mac did so I dunno.)

Yea two different deals
Its interesting watching the duality of Cameron the bright eyed we can change the world and Joe slick talking to make a buck. But hes got that dreamer in him.
This show just seems to add on, and add on,
Its like oh wait this bad thing, oh wait this bad thing too, oh wait this bad thing three. shite just never stops hitting the fan. The show doesnt feel like it gives the audience any happy moments.
The 1 time in the series I though things could turn out was the scene with Cameron and Joe where she puts the OS on the computer for him and you see him actually buy in.

The last two episodes have finally really ramped things up and I like it. They were real close to losing me around the time that dude was digging in his backyard.
I think they sold out a bit taking the OS out honestly, I want to see if they put it back in or not

This show is interesting enough, but it gets annoying how dramatic they have to make EVERYTHING that happens. Joe out in the storm fighting it with flashlights, giving 5 minute speeches about random shite, showing a bleeding finger from a cut for 10 seconds ect...
Everything is just such a huge thing in this show

Of course it seemed like the logical solution would be to show it with the OS but then to also state that they would be producing the version without it and quote the price and weight for that version that beat the wife ex boss guy's machine.
Win Win. Of course I guess that would not have been dramatic enough.

Ok. I think this show has officially jumped the shark.
Posted on 8/5/14 at 12:53 am to Methuselah
The only thing I want to see in Donna leave Gordon for Cameron and I mean this sexually. 
In all honestly the cast is just too weak. If they come back for a 2nd Season we need some real villains. We all know Cameron is going to fail. She has no structure of hierarchy her business model. They will self destruct. Gordon has no vision and Joe knows shite about hardware or software. Joe is just dreamer. None of these characters can survive by themselves.
I was kind of interested in what Joe was doing towards the end of the episode. There is someone he is going look for on his walk but I couldn't understand who?

Seriously. What a piece of shite ending. I don't think I will watch S2 if they get it. He burns the truck? Now Gordon wants more? Donna going to work with Cameron? Terrible.

Yeah. This was so over the top that it kind of seemed like they gave up on the show and said what the hell.
Posted on 8/5/14 at 7:13 am to Methuselah
The weird thing was, I completely expected him to do something with the truck, but I have absolutely no explanation why he did it.
Posted on 8/5/14 at 10:45 am to Brettesaurus Rex
Based on the ratings, this won't be back next season. And the way it ended, each "star" was given their own ending, so they must have known it won't be renewed. I liked most of the characters, but the writers were bad to horrible at times. Too many WTF's happenings in the series that made no sense whatsoever, i.e. the dead guy in the street during the storm, Joe's rant dance during the hurricane, and finally, the car jacking.
