Well... It was definitely AMC, that's for sure. I think it could go either way. But I'm hopefully optimistic based on the pilot.

music is nice , synth the music of the 80`s
characters are nice
technical aspects are painfully true , nice to see that
and the intro ... was stunning

so what are they aping from ... i mean the story of Motorola HCF or AMD

This is actually pretty good. Almost all the technical stuff is correct, setting is correct, music fits and aren't stereotype hit songs. Characters are interesting, story has enough to keep me curious about what's next. Sue me, but I like it.

No. AMD wasn't cloning, they had a licence for the 86. The HCF reference is purely because it has a nice ring.

Closest real world comparison is Compaq Smile

Finally caught the pilot last night and REALLY enjoyed it. Will watch the rest of the season over the next few days.

I'm reading that ratings were very low for the show, and that it will most likelt end up being cancelled Sad Too bad.

Yea, it got better with every episode; the one about the industry gathering was particularly good.Would be interesting to see how the characters develop in a second season if that pans out; for example, does Lee Pace's character

That is such great news to hear!

Almost finished with the first season (2 eps remain), and I am deeply in love with this show. Took me completely by surprise too, wasn't expecting much at first, but after the pilot episode I was absolutely hooked.

The plot is interesting and smart, actors were cast perfectly, the atmosphere is awesome and nostalgic, music is very fitting and good. Love this.

I really hope that the second season gains some more viewers, I feel like this is seriously under-appreciated. Give it a chance if you haven't.

Good show gents.

I really feel the show doesn't get enough praise, it's one of the best ones out there. The cast is fantastic, I hope after this season the show gets some more traction and hopefully we can expect more seasons in the future.

Watch this, it's really good Smile

Okay so the show is interesting but I want to Slap 3E74 for hyping the music. They use some pretty generic songs from the era and it's only the theme which has some kickass synth music.



1 and 2 are still amazing.
