   I just learned of this series:   
      
   Halt and Catch Fire is an American period drama television series... aired on   
   the cable network AMC in the United States from June 1, 2014, to October 14,   
   2017, spanning four seasons and 40 episodes...   
   ....Taking place over a period of more than ten years, the series depicts a   
   fictionalized insider's view of the personal computer revolution of the 1980s   
   and the growth of the World Wide Web in the early 1990s. The show's title   
   refers to computer machine code instruction Halt and Catch Fire (HCF), the   
   execution of which would cause the computer's central processing unit to stop   
   working (catch fire being a humorous exaggeration).   
      
   It sounds very interesting for a computer nerd.   
      
   Has anyone else here seen it?
