Halt and Catch Fire Ratings & Reviews
- alexmpowersFebruary 22, 2026The most perfectly written show on TV that not enough people have watched.
- Francis McgillicuddyFebruary 3, 2026Wish I could give it 6 stars. Absolute masterpiece that NOBODY has watched. I've run through it in toto 4x. The writing & character arcs are astounding. Also has both female leads as IT leaders, in the early 90s. Think about that.
- renderartistOctober 11, 2025This is such a great series, all of the characters have great development and it's a lot of fun to see each of them grow throughout the story. Loved the pace of each episode. The writing is great and the actors are perfectly casted in their roles, each episode keeps you in suspense for the next. Worth checking out if you're into tech or have ever worked in development. Halt and Catch Fire is raw, full of drama and bits of humor that make it compelling. Holds up as of 2025.
