In all honesty I didn't really enjoy the series. I keep watching because it felt so alien. All the characters seamed very 1 dimensional, and the writing I felt

  I felt the same. It had the surface qualities of a series about nerdy/geeky computers in the 80s. But missed the essence. I identify much more with Mike Judge's work in Office Space & his Silicon Valley tv series.

  A soap opera with a technical facade.

  Well, it's a good drama which happens to have a technological background. And it so happens, too, that this technological background is realistic, precise, and even historically accurate. It's a good advance to make tech dramas approachable to the general public. If the series, as a work of art, is bad, in the end very few people will watch it regardless of its technological accuracy. That being said, my inner geek agrees with you: too much drama. But again, maybe I'm not exactly the target audience.

  I also found it relatively shallow, but I mostly enjoyed watching it because it introduced the whole 80's computer revolution story to my wife, who had previously ignored the subject. She seemed to get along fine with the characters without getting too geeked out by the technology, so I imagine that there is a balancing act going on with the AMC writers behind the show. That said, we're both looking forward to the next season .. for me, mostly because I love the soundtrack and have a secret crush on Cameron .. for my wife, I guess for the same reasons. ;)
