Rueben's Ramblings

The new AMC period drama Halt and Catch Fire will debut on June 1 at 10 PM.

Set in the early 1980s, roughly one year after IBM all but cornered the market with the release of its first major product: the IBM PC. It is also the same year people realize the IBM PC’s fatal flaw, which quickly makes personal computing anyone’s game.

The cast includes Lee Pace (Pushing Daisies), Scoot McNairy (Argo), Mackenzie Davis (Smashed), Kerry Bishé (Argo) and Toby Huss (Cowboys & Aliens).

Here is the trailer for Halt and Catch Fire.
