I watched from s1 on praying for a new season every yr. Been rewatching. It's truly a awesome show about the coming of age of computers, internet, anti virus etc

It never caught on like mad men or breaking bad but it's one of AMC best shows ever imo

It stars Lee Pace Scoot Mcnairy, Mackenzie Davis, Kerry Bische, Toby Huss

Last 2 aren't famous but great in the show


Little something for u to get a feel for the show. Available on Netflix streaming

We enjoyed the first couple of seasons. Lee Pace was sort of a young Don Draper with initiative.

Toby Huss is underrated in pretty much everything. Great in Carnivale.

Don't forget Kahn, Cotton, and Joe Jack from King of the Hill.

But OP is right. I like how the show kind of shifts in focus through the seasons. Ends up being a really strong strong and very emotional. Thought that Scott McNairy and Kerry Bishe both deserved more recognition for their work.

I'll never get over their branding their company "Cardiff", after the Cardiff Giant. It's like naming your company Milli Vanilli or "Fake Company".

Great when Scoot pointed that out to Lee Pace.

There were a handful of us who definitely were all into the show during its run.

It is a FANTASTIC watch, and i've recommended it to alot of people during quarantine.

The ending is just awesome and they didnt waste any of the talent they had. Lee Pace was so charismatic throughout the whole run, you couldn't tell some days if you liked the guy or hated his guts.

Joe was a great character but I hate his charater ending. A bisexual Steve Jobs type does that for rest of his career (don’t want to spoil ending)

I don't think, in the ending, that's his whole life. I always thought thats what he did until the next thing came to him.

Lee Pace absolutely killed it in this. and they didn’t let the story drag on too long like many other shows. one of my favorites of all time

Agreed, great show. I started watching back in May and just started season 3 last week. Trying to take my time with it instead of burning through the entire show in a binge.

Wow I'm shocked at the replies nobody was watching when I was watching

Literally s3 and s4 both up in the air for awhile


It sucked cuz Zack Whedon knew what he was doing

I used to think the first season was boring. Not anymore it was plenty entertaining and it set the stage for what came after.

First two seasons are great - then it becomes increasingly bad as the two girls become the focal point of the show...and Joe becomes an even bigger weirdo.

The last 2 seasons are the conclusion man u missed out if u gave up after s2

Honestly how theres a man hates women in control

How could u not love Donna joining Cameron wit Mutiny in s2 and s3

They switched up every season in a way and it was an amazing show imo and crazy slept on
