I'm glad they put this at the top. I instantly closed the tab. On the off chance that the title is remotely true, I wouldn't want to have the show ruined for me before I even saw an episode.
For others who have never heard of this show, here's a little I picked up from carefully scanning over the wikipedia page:
It's a AMC period drama about the early days of PCs and the internet. It ran from June 1, 2014 – October 14, 2017, had four seasons, reviews are good (so it's not just this guy who liked it) and they got better as the show went on. Also "it was marketed as the first TV series to premiere on Tumblr and the first time AMC had partnered with a social media service to debut a new show." which is weird, but it does seem like it's worth checking out.

- abustamam 8mo agoI haven't watched it nor have I heard of it prior to this post, but based on the comments here, it seems like required watching for a techie! Adding it to the never ending list of things to watch :) (I also haven't seen Silicon Valley which, as I understand it, is simultaneously required watching and required avoidance for HN people...)
- futune 8mo agoYou are wise to heed them! If you're willing to consider some random username's opinion, I consider it to be possibly the best of all time TV drama, with the only alternative pick being The Wire. I hope you enjoy it!
