Anyone else watching 'Halt and Catch Fire'?

Didn't think I'd like it, but it grabbed me from the first episode for some reason. Usually takes me two or three episodes to get into a show. It's pretty much a period drama taking place in the 80s (about the birth/evolution of the PC/internet). It's very 80s in style (music, clothes)...and evokes nostalgic feelings in me. First season's on Netflix.

If you're a computer geek and you're watching, tell me what you think about it.

I'm enjoying it. I started programming in 1979. I wasn't heavily geeky as the characters in the show, but it does spark some memories here and there.
