I thought it showed potential in the first couple episodes but it seems to be falling on its face quickly. The main characters are becoming too unbelievable. I dont feel like I can relate to anyone on the show. Also, at times I cant decide which is worse, the acting or the scripting. Some of the writing seems rushed, and some of the acting is bland.
Ill give it another couple episodes but Im losing interest. The show lacks mystery... too predictable. Maybe if we start killing off main characters like Game of Thrones then Ill keep watching... yeah, thats a good idea.

The scene that followed cracked me up. The look on that arrogant old bat's face when she realized what happened - priceless.

I loved the '80s. Then again, I was in my late teens through late 20s during them so what's not to love? Great music, college, cars, sex - everything was new and in copious amounts.
The hair... Turned me off curly hair forever. I was born in the 80s. FML.

Yeah... "the sudden Gay changeover by a power hungry Alpha male" thing was already done better by Kevin Spacey in House Of Cards.
No, wait... it was annoying and unbelievable in that show as well.

Yeah... their "Don Draper meets President Underwood" sales guy character is over the top.
It's a cool engineering story, and it's too bad that they need to dumb it down with the extra unbelievable dramatic crap.

It's really sad in a way, I had hoped for more. There was plenty of legit drama surrounding cloning the IBM PC without this fake character drama they've created.

Yeah, Joe and Camerson are so insufferable that no one would have tolerated them in the work place (regardless how creative they were). Mad Men handled this way better and more believably. The last episode just about did it in for me. Joe and the false emergency, John orchestrating the brutal beating - ridiculous.

There were several PC companies who reverse engineered IBM's BIOS back then. Compaq just did a better job than most
We should be glad that they did, since the Compaq's and Dell's of the world helped bring PC's down in price dramatically from the $5,000 (In 1980's dollars!) that IBM wanted for one.
