Halt and Catch Fire: Season 2

"It's loosened up a little, letting more humor into the mix, and that it's kept around one of those father figures: John Bosworth."

"It has become the program that its early adapters always wished it would be."

"The first season was not so good, but the second season has really picked up."

"It's effective doing what it does best, which is to be a platform for a fascinating, buried period of history."

"Halt's software has been upgraded: it now has a compelling subject, the emergence, through modem clicks and whistles, of the wired Internet era we live in."

"Four episodes in, the writers have taken steps to reconnect the key characters, but it's a too-slow update..."

"In the second season, Halt and Catch Fire unveiled its greatest strength; it's willingness to blow everything up."

"AMC's bafflingly underrated drama is one of the best programs ever at capturing the human fallibilities that go into into carving your own path in business and life..."

"It's obvious Halt And Catch Fire 2.0 is a serious improvement over last year's model."
