Halt and Catch Fire rebounds on Apple TV nearly a decade after end

Halt and Catch Fire, the 2014 AMC drama created by Christopher Cantwell and Christopher C. Rogers, portrayed the 1980s tech scene through a character-driven lens and was anchored by Lee Pace, Mackenzie Davis, Scoot McNairy, and Kelly Bishé. The series concluded in 2017 but has retained a devoted reputation for its measured storytelling.

Recent streaming data from FlixPatrol shows renewed interest in the show. Halt and Catch Fire ranks as the third most popular title on Apple TV's VOD service in the U.S., with other AMC series on the chart including Fear the Walking Dead and Into the Badlands. The series holds near-perfect critic and audience scores on Rotten Tomatoes.

Reviewing the finale for Collider, Emma Fraser wrote, "Thankfully, Halt and Catch Fire evolved into something that went beyond a Mad Men retread, and became something that stood on its own, with this final season proving to be leaps and bounds from where it began.
