How is Halt and Catch Fire? I tried the first episode, but didn't give it a proper chance when it first premiered. (I like Lee Pace as an actor.)

Agreed on the Time Travel shows...none are told properly. I've tried several now. I think the only two I've really enjoyed were Sarah Conner Chronicles and Doctor Who..but neither rely solely on Time Travel. Outlander isn't bad in how it utilizes it, although I felt it should have done so more effectively. Quantum Leap disappointed me - although I did stick with all the way through. As did Timeless, also disappointing.

What I'd like is something closer to what Moffat sort of did with Doctor Who/River Song arc...which is explore how wonky Time Travel can be. I wish someone would adapt a Connie Willis Time Travel novel -- because that author does examine the psychological, scientific, etc effects of it -- albeit with less violence, than say 12 Monkeys.
