It’s one of the best made series on TV, in terms of writing, performance, and direction, but it rarely bothers with anything that would immediately call attention to itself. Read full review

Season 4's first three hours make major investments in everyone, especially Gordon, imbuing them all with deeper poignancy. ... Halt and Catch Fire is an urgent story of rehumanization for a cold, wired culture. Plug in now. [18/25 Aug 2017, p.88] Read full review

Halt and Catch Fire succeeds by making its tech narrative not a dry history lesson, but rather a battle of wills between four very flawed, compelling characters, each possessed of the kinds of manic ambition and tendency toward self-destruction that make for the best television drama.

Halt and Catch Fire is almost over, yet these early episodes feel like it’s just getting warmed up. Enjoy it while you can. Read full review

Halt and Catch Fire has officially shifted into the early 1990s, exploring the days when the internet was still being invented and, in the process, cementing its place as one of the most confident shows on television. ... Like its four protagonists, it is damn good at what it does. If you don’t take the time to appreciate it while it’s still here, you might regret it. Read full review

Halt and Catch Fire has always been an acquired taste. The mixture of personal dramas and the tech world doesn’t always go down easily. Some of that continues in the new season, but the new world of the Internet kicks some life into the story. Read full review

AMC's Halt and Catch Fire begins its fourth and final season on Saturday night as good as it has ever been. And it's quite possible that the whole of Halt and Catch Fire is even better than the sum of its parts. Read full review

What a show this became. In the end it was never really about the tech, just 5 flawed characters trying to achieve something with themselves and feel a connection with somebody else.

I'll for sure miss this show and this characters.… Expand

H&CF may have only been 4 seasons long, but it was probably the most thought-provoking and intelligently written show I've ever seen in my life. I wish this had gotten nominated for major awards, because it truly should have. I know lack of views and advertising had a lot to do with that.H&CF may have only been 4 seasons long, but it was probably the most thought-provoking and intelligently written show I've ever seen in my life.

The show's theme is good and at most first 2 seasons are watchable. By end of that I got frustrated with all the turn off drama. Maybe what the show needs is to follow the route of Fargo and change some/all characters every season.

To dramatize technological innovations is no small feat. When the show is good it is often very good, but when it is bad it is awful. The bickering and soap-opera relationships can occasionally grind things to a halt. The character of Cameron is especially problematic. An immature, emotionalTo dramatize technological innovations is no small feat. When the show is good it is often very good, but when it is bad it is awful. The bickering and soap-opera relationships can occasionally grind things to a halt. The character of Cameron is especially problematic. An immature, emotional basket case one scene, a bold, rebellious innovator the next, we're never sure which Cameron we'll get. The problem is not the actress but the way the character is written. Lee Pace, as Joe, anchors the proceedings as best he can. Bishe and McNairy lend strong support to help keep things afloat. While the show is as frustrating as it is rewarding, panning for the gold tends to pay off, eventually.… Expand
