The episodes function surprisingly well as a Halt and Catch Fire movie, one that draws the four main characters back together in a way that really earns having all of them in the same room together for the first time since late in season one.

The engineers and programmers on AMC's "Halt and Catch Fire" spend the '80s and early '90s bouncing around what we'd now call the "personal-computer revolution," building any number of things — PCs, BBS services, video games, antivirus software — but never quite changing the world as thoroughly as they imagine.
Summer series tend to be escapist in nature (think essentially every USA show ever — Burn Notice, Royal Pains, etc.), but there's still plenty of room for the occasional UnReal or Mr. Robot or Halt and Catch Fire — shows that really want to say something about the world we all live in.

Everything about Halt and Catch Fire season three, from the barely masked sexism its women encounter in the tech sphere to the unease its other characters feel at the looming specter of a hyper-connected world, seems of a piece with 2016 — even if season three technically takes place in 1986.
Home to the excellent and unfortunately canceled Lodge 49 and the masterful Halt And Catch Fire, AMC is the best network for patient, beguiling TV.

This type of overall shift in a series' focus is happening a lot more on TV -- Halt and Catch Fire (which is also ending this year) has largely turned over its narrative to its original supporting cast, too — but series finales are usually a chance for the whole cast to have one last hurrah.
When Halt and Catch Fire deepened its ensemble of characters in year two, or when The Americans focused more on its family relationships, or when The Leftovers shifted to become much more character-centric than it had been before, it could feel like all of these shows were responding to criticisms of their first years.

Cameron was a shaky character in the show's early going — she sometimes seemed as if she had been conceived based on her wardrobe and hairstyle, as if Halt and Catch Fire creators Christopher C.

Rivers no longer catch fire, as the Cuyahoga, in Ohio, did repeatedly in the fifties and sixties; the skies over Los Angeles are no longer choked with brown smog; acid rain is no longer the threat it was to rivers, lakes, and wildlife; gasoline for cars is no longer made with lead, which damages children's brain development.

Ingram, who developed into a shooter at the pro level after having been a more traditional scorer in college, can be streaky, but he has a tendency to catch fire from outside, as evidenced by his win over Fredette in that 3-point contest in 2016 — which included a stretch of hitting 13 consecutive 3-pointers.

As Smurf, the family matriarch who's perpetually dancing on the edge of incest with her many, constantly shirtless sons, Ellen Barkin is a defensive snarl reimagined as a TV character, and though the season starts slowly, showrunner Jonathan Lisco (formerly of Vox's beloved Halt and Catch Fire) brings the story to a rousing, satisfyingly dark conclusion.
In February 2016, a year and a half before the explosive allegations against Harvey Weinstein sparked waves of exhausted women voicing their horrific experiences with sexual assault in the workplace and beyond, Kesha set off a lonely match, hoping something, anything, she said about Dr. Luke would catch fire and burn her past into scorched earth.
Look, I'm sure Samsung's thoroughly testing the Note 7 R's before selling them, and I hope the batteries are going through the same 83-point battery safety check as the Galaxy S8, but if even a single one of the Note 7 R's catch fire or explode (it doesn't matter what the cause is), Samsung will be screwed all over again.
By recapturing those early days when it seemed as if computers might give us the world, instead of slowly seal us off into our own bubbles, Halt and Catch Fire invites viewers to reexamine our own relationship to technology and each other, and how often we try to let our online selves stand in for the people we really are.
But the most prescient, terrifying moment of Halt and Catch Fire comes not in an elegant speech about the dawn of the internet age, but in the suicide note left behind by a despondent coder, titled "You Are Not Safe": "Beware of false prophets who will sell you a fake future, of bad teachers and corrupt leaders and dirty corporations," it reads.
As the characters on Halt and Catch Fire send their little cartoon avatars wandering through a prototype of our current digital world, it's not difficult to imagine the show as an antithesis, of sorts, to the idea that we're all in it alone, that when it comes down to it, greatness is defined by what any one person makes of it.
Still, I miss the days of stronger standalone episodes, and "Yerba Buena" is both the most standalone episode of Halt and Catch Fire yet — for the most part, its conflicts arise and are resolved within the hour, though several will presumably carry forward in echoes — and an episode that reminds us that "standalone" doesn't have to be a dirty word.
Communities at risk could require fire-resistant building materials like concrete, stone, glass, and brick; prohibit buildings on steep slopes, where fires move faster than on flat land; enforce a minimum distance between homes, since dense housing serves as better fuel for flames; require homeowners to plant only certain types of vegetation that doesn't easily dry out and catch fire.
John has never held back in criticism of the U.S.T.A.

It's fitting, then, that the second and third seasons of Halt and Catch Fire have focused on the very early days of the internet, because through that choice, the series has found a way to revel not in the isolation that drove so many of the great dramas of the past decade but in the connection that is driving so many of them in this decade.
"Halt and Catch Fire," a phrase that refers to a computer problem that necessitates a reboot, is appropriate for a show that has gone through a number of permutations: It began as a series about the emergence of personal computing, pivoted into one about the genesis of online communities, and is now moving from Texas to Silicon Valley to focus on the development of internet commerce.
One of the motives driving Trump's incessant tweeting, according to an administration official, is the president's belief that the more he repeats something — in this case his claim that "no quid pro quo" occurred when he asked Ukraine to investigate a political rival while withholding military aid to the Eastern European country — the more likely it is to reach his critics and catch fire with his supporters.

The closer the 2010s came to their end, the more it seemed as if the single most potent idea driving more and more dramas was human connection, and Halt and Catch Fire — about a group of tech pioneers in the '80s and '90s — had the power to transport viewers back to a world where computers could unite people rather than divide them, where the internet held promise and not destruction.
