Reviewgreat series that i almost stopped watching about five minutes in. the opening sequences, wherein you are introduced to key characters, was pretty trite and didn’t give me much hope for the rest of the series. aside from that, though, the series is really solid and interesting. i’m not a huge tech guy, but there seems to be a real love of tech and the tech talk made sense to me (though maybe it’s bullshit to people who really know this stuff). brought back a lot of memories of the early gaming, internet, and computer community. just a hell of a ride and i really liked the series overall.
spoilers ahead…i didn’t realize it was only a four season run so when i got to the final season i was pretty surprised by a lot of what happened and how it ended. i didn’t foresee the death of gordon at all, and the way they did it was really great and impactful. definitely made me tear up thinking about dying relatively young with kids still growing up. really changes your perspective on all the bullshit that he battled and the relationships he had. great series.
