I thought Micro Men was way better executed as a comparison point https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_Men https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_Men
- kennywinker 1y agoCompletely different show after season 1, I almost bailed at the end of s01 too. But also, different strokes for different folks :)
- bananaboy 1y agoReally! Interesting. How was it different?
- protocolture 1y agoShifts from looking like compaq, to early internet stuff, from memory.
- Moto7451 1y agoJust to +1 this and then add some more color, the show doesn’t try to be a Pirates of Silicon Valley where they cover a single specific company/set of events but instead they compress the entirety of the 80s and 90s key events into their couple of seasons. It’s fun so long as you don’t mind.
- bananaboy 1y agoAh right I did know that much about then following seasons. I thought the previous poster meant different in that the characters etc and over the top-ness was different but from my understanding of reading the synopsis it’s still basically the same characters and storytelling style so I think I’ll probably have the same problem with it heh. But I do love historical stuff like this even when fictionalised so maybe I should power through it.
- ghaff 1y agoIt looked a bit like Compaq then it pivoted to, I expected, to look more like Apple with the Comdex angle. But it didn't. I did like the show. But it skirted the reality of the era with a lot of other stuff.
