The AMC series was ultimately about Baby Boomers passing the baton to Generation X, says Jen Chaney. “From a nostalgic point of view, Halt and Catch Fire aimed right for the Gen-X sweet spot, setting its action between 1983 and 1994, and fully capturing the vibe in its spot-on production design, costume design, and especially its music choices, which were often wonderfully surprising,” she says, adding: “Halt and Catch Fire doesn’t just ‘get’ the ’80s and ’90s, it immerses the viewer in those time periods.”
