I liked the first season a lot but got kind of annoyed when they started just having the main characters invent basically everything from tech history. That being said, I had a good time watching with my mom who is also in technology, and g

I've seen [a] on HN three times in the last week. Don't know if it's recency bias, Baader-Meinhof, a legitimate increase in common popularity/knowledge, or a sign of the times. edit: after a quick algolia search, it has
