sounds like a nerd fest
and boring
shareIt's something of a nerd fest, but it's far from boring. In fact, it's the only remaining show I care anything about watching.
Great characters with great character development, and great performances.
that good ??? what other show is it similar to ??
shareYes, it's excellent. I don't know why it hasn't taken off, but it does have a small and very appreciative following.
The only show I can think of it's at all similar to is Mad Men. In fact, some of the old Mad Men crew started working on HACF. As someone said, HACF is the spiritual child of Mad Men. I think that's pretty accurate. Several of us posters who were big Mad Men fans ended up here as a result.
If you have Netflix, give it a try. Fair warning: it doesn't start really hitting its stride until the middle of the first season.
It's easily one of my favorite shows of the past five years. Hands down. In fact, it's probably at #2 behind GoT.
Like Catbookss was saying, for some reason it never quite did find its audience. After every season of disappointing ratings we were all seriously suspecting that the show would not be renewed and then . . . it got renewed! It was very strange really; most shows with HACF's ratings would not have made it four seasons.
But for those of us who have been here from the beginning and stuck with it, we love it.
