I concede that it's basically impossible to convince anyone to do anything on the internet, but if:
1) you're looking for something to watch
2) you enjoy really well-written drama
3) have any sort of interest in technology and/or the 80s/90s
You really should watch this show. I think the first three seasons are on Netflix. The fourth and final season just wrapped up.
It took the place of Mad Men as AMC's period drama. I believe the first season was sort of critically panned although I enjoyed it in spite of the flaws. I remember reading that it's a miracle that they lasted four seasons and after watching the last few seasons, I'm not sure why.
It did change quite a bit over the last three seasons. But, frankly, it's one of the best shows in terms of characters that I can recall. I prefer it to Mad Men because I find the arcs a lot more believable. I got a lot more invested in the characters. And frankly, I got a little choked up a few times during the last few episodes. One of which is hands down the most authentic depiction of post death/grieving/moving on that I can recall seeing ... anywhere?
It's not a show that you could just jump into and get a lot of enjoyment. It's a slower burn. You would need to see the entire story from beginning to end to appreciate the epilogue.
Watch it. Or don't. But seriously. Watch it.

Bat mitzvah is Saturday. Guessing Sunday night would be episode 1.

I'm going to spoil this -- not because it reveals any plot points, but because I don't think I'd have been able to stop thinking about it while watching him steal scene after scene had I known it before. And those scenes are some of the best parts of the show.
If you already know who Toby Huss is, then this won't blow your mind. I however, did not when I learned this yesterday.
Toby Huss (Bosworth) also played "The Wiz" on
Seinfeld and "Artie, the Strongest Man in the World" on
Pete and Pete.
