Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Halt and Catch Fire earns its spot. Halt and Catch Fire takes its time building the world its characters inhabit, and the patience pays off. During the rise of the PC era in the early 1980s, an unlikely trio - a visionary, an engineer and a prodigy - take personal and professional risks in the race to build a computer that will change the world as they know it. The performances from Lee Pace and Scoot McNairy give it more weight than the premise alone would suggest. 4 seasons (2014–2017) gave the story room most shows never get. Halt and Catch Fire resists tidy resolutions in a way that respects how messy real consequences actually are. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

Halt and Catch Fire is what you recommend to people who say they do not really watch much. Olive Kitteridge is the obvious comparison, but Halt and Catch Fire earns its own place alongside it. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. Lee Pace's work here is the kind that gets referenced in career retrospectives. It makes everything else feel thin by comparison.

Halt and Catch Fire wrapped up in 2017, created by Christopher C. Rogers and Christopher Cantwell — and 4 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
