I love h&cf but it’s important for people who are curious about it to know that it is definitely an overdramatized AMC piece akin to mad men. It’s basically mad men but PCs lol.

It has some brilliant writing and the acting is off the charts (whoever handled casting is unbelievable), but man it can definitely make you roll your eyes occasionally lol

Rarely. I actually expected it to go in a somewhat different direction. But as somewhat who was at COMDEX and in the industry in general during that period, it felt pretty true.

It’s really a lot of the interpersonal drama. It’s not like that stuff that didn’t happen, but AMC does have a tendency to soap it up

It's a TV show, not a documentary. Through that lens, it seems reasonable.
