Halt and Catch Fire: Fourth and final season - OOTV -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Premier Saturday, Aug. 19th

One of the best, unwatched, and underrated shows is coming to an end. For those haven't seen it, the first three seasons are currently on Netflix. I highly recommend giving it a shot.

I've had it in my top 10 for at least the last two seasons, maybe all three. It's never quite been GOAT but it's rock solid overall, with strong performances all around.

it's also gotten better and better in most people's eyes, which is extremely rare.

I've liked the progression of the older Texan guy, totally thought he was going to be different from the beginning. This has also been one show that techies and non techies can enjoy together, my gf surprised me by binge watching it and for example she doesn't like mr robot or Silicon Valley

Three more than it really deserved based on the ratings. This show getting four seasons is one of the biggest miracles in tv history. Just say thank you, AMC. Probably the best thing to come from The Walking Dead's undeserved ratings.

He spent his time in the Westworld thread berating people for being terrible at watching TV, then vanished like a ***** at the end of the season when their theories turned out to be correct.

Enjoyed the season premiere and like where this is headed. Bos story felt a little out of place, but I think he will fit in fine moving forward being the head of the search engine startup.

I thought the Joe-Cameron phone call went on wayyy to long. Rest was OK.

Does anyone else despise Cameron with a burning passion? Just hate her so much.

I'm watching due to subject matter interest, past investment, and still strong acting, but all the while kind of loathing everyone on the screen. I'm hoping for the best this season, while actually somewhat relieved this is the last hurrah.

Wow - nearly 24 hours later and not a single post about E2 (or I guess perhaps it's E3, what with the 2 hour season premiere). Can't be a very good sign for those of us who still have it in the queue.

Being on a Saturday night probably has a lot of people watching later on their dvr, and it's not a show people necessarily have a lot to comment on. I watched it before bed. I like them pivoting to the internet search engine for the final element. The negotiations with the daughter were amusing, and I like what Cameron said about how the guy should be embracing his teenage daughter wanting to spend time with him.

Yeah. this show just isn't all that discussable. It is solid but not great with an interesting backdrop. There is no hero or good guy to root for since they are all douchebags although Gordon is becoming more sympathetic. Donna, Joe and Cameron are just pure loathsome.
