Halt and Catch Fire season 3 review

In following up the first part of tonight’s two-hour finale, “Halt and Catch Fire” Tuesday had quite a challenge in finishing things off: That episode (entitled “NIM”) could easily have served as the proper way to end the season, and tied up the entirety of loose ends on the night. What we were left with […]

The first hour of Tuesday night’s “Halt and Catch Fire” two-part finale is more than just a transitional episode; it may be the best episode of the entire series. We may go so far as to say it is among the best episodes of any show in 2016 to date alongside “The Winds of Winter” […]

What is the legacy of one Ryan Ray on “Halt and Catch Fire”? Through much of Tuesday night’s new episode, it felt like his intention was to instill questions of doubt and of fear in the technology that we are starting to trust. Ryan made his play last week to do what he thought at […]

Recently on “Halt and Catch Fire” season 3, we saw the character of Cameron make a decision that absolutely shocked plenty of people at the time: Marrying Tom. We knew that there were feelings there, but it was a plan that came together in the blink of an eye. Now, they’re clearly at another stage […]

Through four episodes, we’d say that this season of “Halt and Catch Fire” on AMC is officially in slow-burn territory. There have been moments where taking this slow, methodical pace has worked out for the series, and then there are times where it frustrates us slightly because we want to get to that next step. […]

After spending two episodes of “Halt and Catch Fire” thinking that Joe MacMillan had become a mustache-twirling villain within the world of Silicon Valley, we came to the end of Tuesday night’s new episode to realize that this was not exactly the case. It is actually much more complicated than that. As it turns out, […]

The third season of “Halt and Catch Fire” on Tuesday night delivered the goods in both the first and second episodes, but we feel like by the end of the second hour, it started to become all the clearer where the writers want to take this story. We have the story of two women who […]

The thing about AMC’s “Halt and Catch Fire” is that, like its characters, it has an insane ability to innovate. Through season 1, we had a show that may have tried a little hard to be the tech generation version of “Mad Men.” Season 2 brought a renewed focus, and wonderful things for Mackenzie Davis […]
