It really starts strong too. The first couple of episodes are fantastic.

Huh. I haven’t rewatched the show, but when I saw it originally - admittedly shortly after watching Mad Men - I thought “this is trying to be Mad Men, but it’s the '80s and in the computer industry” and interpreted Lee Pace as a laundered Don Draper.

The show is much more, and much better, than that though. I’m glad I kept watching.
