>focuses more on the characters personal problems and whether or not they get married/divorced/sleep with each other. This is an unfair summary. There might be a divorce (does no one in the tech world get divorced?), and a relationship (that starts in Season 1, Episode 1 and is a driver of the plot), but it is nowhere near about "who sleeps with who". The show has good character development; would you rather the people not do anything in life, over the 15 or so years the show covers? Halt and Catch Fire is great television that loosely follows the technology arc/personal computing age from the early 1980s through the 2000s. It has great acting and characters, including two strong female leads. If you go in thinking it's going to be about people sitting around "solving hard problems on computers", yes, you will be disappointed. There are coding screencasts for that. It's a shame to discourage someone from watching wonderful television about a subject we're all here for.
