Halt was decent in the first season, and got way better from there, the last season was by far the best season of the show, the last four episodes of the series in particular, that's good shit. Started off slow, with Joe McMillian as a sort Don Draper knock off, then the show starts to hit it's stride towards the end of the first season.

Justified has a bit of a slow start in the first season as well, the best season is the second season, the fifth season is a disappointment, then it finishes strong in the sixth and final season.

Wynn Duffy For The Win! Put that character in any TV show, and he'll make it better by reacting to things.

Both shows have really good endings too.

Is the show about Texas Instruments? Its not set in Sillicon Valley correct? These dudes are designing computers in Texas or am I wrong about this?

It’s a fictional company, sort of a parallel to TI. There was a bit of a tech hub on Texas, before Silicon Valley existed.

Texas still has a strong tech industry I believe. Why do you think the shift from TX to Cali occurred?

I believe Charlotte NC is also a tech city of sorts. I've never been there, but it seems like a good spot to live.

Yeah, Charlotte has become the East Coast tech hub, in the past few years. I have no idea why, but I think it had to do with some big companies simply choosing to put their offices there.

As for why tech went to Cali, it's pretty much all about Gates/Jobs fucking exploding, when they got ahold of the OS market.

Walton Goggins is great in everything he's in, loves me some Boyd Crowder too. Margo Martindale is awesome as Mags Bennett as well, speaking of folks who are great in everything they are in. And like I said, put Wynn Duffy in any TV show, and it's instantly better, best reactions ever.

Wynn Duffy is hilarious. He should get his own show tbh. I always root for him over Rayland.
