Halt and Catch Fire season 1 review

“Halt and Catch Fire” did many things during its season finale, whether it be paint a picture of hope, hand over a few more shocking twists, and above all remind us of how much we want to see this show return for a second season. As for whether or not that will actually happen, however, […]

“Halt and Catch Fire” got so close at times Sunday night to finally being a success story for Joe MacMillan. He finally made it to COMDEX, but for the first 55 minutes or so, just about anything negative that could possibly happen to him did. It was pretty easy to question whether or not he […]

We were wondering when there was going to be a moment on AMC’s “Halt and Catch Fire” when everything was going to truly hit the fan.

We understood Joe MacMillan more, and were perplexed by him simultaneously. The moment we saw Lee Pace’s character kissing another […]

The second episode of a series is more often than not the one that we worry about the most. It is far easier for a show to make a good pilot when you have a bigger budget and a good bit of time in order to make something happen. If you can pull off a […]

Tonight, AMC is launching a show in “Halt and Catch Fire” in hopes of getting something that they really have not had in years now: A series launch that could turn into the next big thing. The last thing that they had that was close was “The Killing,” but it ran out of steam somewhere […]
