While there is plenty of new programming arriving even as the TV season slightly slows down, the summer might be the best time to catch up with dramas you might’ve missed. One of the most compelling right now is AMC‘s “Halt And Catch Fire,” and we want to get you up to speed with a special contest giveaway.

The 1980s set series stars Lee Pace, Scoot McNairy, Mackenzie Davis, Kerry Bishé, Toby Huss and Aleksa Palladino, with the story chronicling the personal computing boom through the eyes of a Silicon Valley visionary, an engineer and a prodigy whose innovations directly confront the corporate behemoths of the time. The second season of the tech-centered drama sees the team at Cardiff Electric faced with the task of remaining relevant in an industry that’s in the midst of great upheaval.
It’s one of the more original shows on TV, and in the exclusive featurette below, the cast and producers share some insights into their characters and the advantage of unfolding this kind of story on the small screen. After that, you can check out another featurette that explores how the concepts of online communication we take for granted now were novel at one time.
