Fascinating story that deserved a better production than this. So totally corrupted by political correctness it was excruciating too often to watch. Well written story of the birth of Compaq. Often clever and hilarious. Briskly directed. Head-pounding music with some great period songs. Acting is mostly pathetic with the notable exceptions of Toby Huss as John Bosworth and especially Lee Pace as Joe McMillan. Pace is extraordinary in his portrayal of a computer visionary - intense, passionate and with a range of expressions and movements that are mesmerizing to watch. Too bad this series did not do him (or the Compaq story) justice and died a premature death. A pity, but that is typical of Hollywood. Best line: " Venture capital? Hell, I remember when it was called money."
