Really! Interesting. How was it different?

Shifts from looking like compaq, to early internet stuff, from memory.

It looked a bit like Compaq then it pivoted to, I expected, to look more like Apple with the Comdex angle. But it didn't. I did like the show. But it skirted the reality of the era with a lot of other stuff.

Just to +1 this and then add some more color, the show doesn’t try to be a Pirates of Silicon Valley where they cover a single specific company/set of events but instead they compress the entirety of the 80s and 90s key events into their couple of seasons. It’s fun so long as you don’t mind.

Ah right I did know that much about then following seasons. I thought the previous poster meant different in that the characters etc and over the top-ness was different but from my understanding of reading the synopsis it’s still basically the same characters and storytelling style so I think I’ll probably have the same problem with it heh. But I do love historical stuff like this even when fictionalised so maybe I should power through it.
