Yes, but I'd actually recommend at least trying out the first season.
Halt and catch fire: worth watching?
The furthest this show went back in time other than Gordan and Donna Clark's marriage is 1983.
First season is about 6.5/10 with some interesting details about hardware/software development and occasionally interesting characterization.
Season 2 onward is the cunt feminist show, all about unrealistic garbage interpersonal drama and how 'these stronk indypyndynt wymyn literally invented everything in tech and basically you are fucking stupid." It's absolute trash.
According to this retarded show, this is what games looked like on a 486.
High polygon, bilinear filtering, dynamic colored lighting and bloom, moving foliage etc, all in 640x480 or higher
I thought it started out pretty good, and honestly, if it didn't have the SJW + Marry Sue propaganda injected into it I would even say it would be a fucking good show.
Viewers who were born after the 1990s would be confused and alienated by anything less than that. TV shows and movies prefer to stick to stereotypes and simplifications, or sometimes to blatant misrepresentations (as in this case) just to cater to their target audience and not make them feel alienated but how reality actually is/was. This is also why you have flashing "ACCESS DENIED" messages taking up most of the screen etc., it's a representation which resonates with the mainstream viewer and the makers don't give a shit if it's accurate and plausible or not.
Maybe they're just incompetent millenials that don't understand Tech
More propaganda trying to get females into tech shit to lower wages. It's just makes me sad now tbh
No. They're producers and writers who have the responsibility to present ideas in a way that their target audience will understand.
