- Terretta 4y agoHaving lived through it, Halt and Catch Fire does a spectacular job at capturing and conveying what the 80s and 90s tech startup world felt like. More recently, Superpumped and WeCrashed capture the 2000s and 2010s. These all fit the thread in the HY/HN definition of hackers.
- vivegi 4y agoI have seen Superpumped and liked Joseph Gordon-Levitt's performance as TK. Of all the series about computers/IT I would also rate Halt and Catch Fire at the top. Of course, Silicon Valley would take the top spot for a sitcom that touched on topical events/culture.
