I just started this and I'm pleasantly surprised.

How does this compare to Silicon Valley? I know they are probably totally different but just wondering.

Thanks.

Well one is a modern comedy and the other is a drama set in the 80s. I watch both. "Halt" is enjoyable but nothing great like SV. If they could make a show around Cameron (from Halt), it would be much better

Scoot McNairy FTW! Also, Bos is awesome. Anyway, I love the show.

I am trying to find a reason to keep watching Halt.

I hate all the characters.

The only similarity is that they both involve technology.

First season of HCF was promising. Second seems an attempt to stuff every 80s brand/cliche into an hour weekly. Losing interest fast.

I've been watching Turn on iPhone so I've been tortured by the same Halt & Catch Fire commercial for 2 days.

"What is this Nightmare on Nerd Street"?



It looks so bad. I would smash Donna though.

This show better be good because I have seen only a fricking million threads on it lately.

I watch its OK (probably wouldn't if it was during football season). Usually I will catch 2 or 3 episodes on demand on afternoon.

What's wrong with Gordan's health?

Nosebleeds thought it was the coke, then problems with his hands thought it was carpal tunnel, then he passes out? He's been to the doctor, said he was in good health.

I watched the first season and while it was an ok show it wasn't great by a long shot and so far I haven't had the urge to watch season 2.

Wasn't a big payoff for going through season 1

Gordon / Donna fights
The overall focus on Gordan going to work, coming home, and fighting with Donna every episode wore me down.

I'm two episodes behind at the moment. I do like the direction that the show is heading.

I dint realize season two had started, so I binged the first four episodes this morning... I like this season a lot, so far...

SV is funny, but I prefer HACF a bit more...

As I was not into internet tech stuff at all back then, I am enjoying learning how everything got started, even allowing for the show's taking poetic license with some of the tech stuff. And I like Cameron, tho I am disappointed they have her wearing a bra this season. And, yes, I know, there is not much there, admittedly. But as I am into nips....Donna? Not sure how she hooked up with the nerd as she is a bit too hot for him?

Both of those girls are good to look at and while the storyline is sucking a bit, looking at them seems to be what is carrying the show for the moment. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if this is its last or next to last season. Drags a lot this season. However, I would welcome either of those girls into my bed for some babymaking practice.
