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.
