Fast and loose with the story and the timeframes this show is supposed to cover. I guess I wouldn't care if the subject wasn't near and dear to my heart.
Also, watching the show through the lens of female characters is too much. It's a purposeful decision to insert a bunch of incredibly attractive, yet brilliant and dominant female leads into the show. It's really bringing the quality down. Of course, all of the male characters fit some stereotype (nerdy, fat engineers or charismatic salesman), while all the female characters are dynamic and vibrant.
It's a male industry, it's about childhood obsessions, labors of love, exploration. All of that is stripped out of the show.
I've been watching "Triumph of the Nerds" and other tech documentaries/dramatizations since I was a teenager. Always wanted that period drama about the PC industry.

That moment where the kids are

My Sunday Nights and TV just don't mix, I've watched maybe 2 or 3 Episodes of this 2nd Season.
I'll just wait for that NetFlix Release since that's how I finished up Season 1.

Damn, didn't want Joe back as a main focus again 
I was more than fine with him in the backround while Mutiny took center stage.
Pretty good season though, way better than last year.
Is this it for the show or did it get a renewed for a 3rd season?

The final scene reminded me of the final scene of House of Cards season 2. Except with no ring and no desk.

I had no idea this was back, until I saw it pop up on the DVR.
Gives me something to watch now while I build up room to fast forward through the commercials on "Mr Robot" later tonight.
