Halt and Catch Fire(2014-2017)
Few series since Game of Thrones and Homeland have been, for me, as binge-worthy as the one I’m sharing with you today.
The plot is captivating because within the fiction we can recognize events that happened in real life, and also because of its focus on computer technology.
The characters are so strong that one could say there isn’t a single leading role per se, although the story revolves around Joe MacMillan, who triggers or sets off nearly all the events.
From the very first episode, it’s easy to get hooked on this series, which maintains a dynamic pace and delivers unexpected twists that leave us wanting more. Undoubtedly a great option for those of us who missed it during its original run, and now available for free on Pluto TV.
Halt and Catch Fire is a drama series set at the dawn of the computer revolution, exploring innovation, ambition, and the human tensions behind the rise of technology in the 1980s and 1990s. It aired on AMC from 2014 to 2017.

Pocas series desde Games of Thrones y Homeland han sido para mi dignas de maratones como esta que les comparto hoy.
La trama es atrapante porque dentro de la ficción podemos reconocer sucesos ocurridos en la vida real, y además por la temática que gira en torno de la tecnología informática.
Los personajes son tan fuertes que podríamos decir que no existe un rol protagónico per se, aunque giran en torno a Joe MacMillan que es el que detona o dispara casi todos los eventos.
Desde el primer episodio es fácil engancharse con esta serie la cual mantiene un ritmo dinámico y nos presenta giros inesperados que nos dejan queriendo ver más. Sin dudas una buena alternativa para aquellos que no la vimos durante su estreno, y disponible ahora gratuitamente en Pluto TV.
