Common Sense Note

Halt and Catch Fire is a fast-moving period drama set in the 1980s that features unbleeped swearing (from "ass" and "balls" to "bulls--t") and simulated sex that's suggestive but steers clear of showing sensitive body parts. There's also some occasional social drinking and mild violence (fistfights and verbal arguments).

Sexual Content

No sensitive body parts are shown, but simulated sex can be steamy and suggestive.

Violence

Infrequent fistfights and shouting matches.

Language

Unbleeped language includes words such as "son of a bitch" and "bulls--t."

Social Behavior

Morality can be murky, but the series glamorizes innovation, passion, and drive -- and the hard work that goes into it.

Consumerism

Real-life tech companies that play a role in the plot include IBM, Texas Instruments, and Apple.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Social drinking sometimes leads to recklessness and poor decision-making. Characters smoke cigarettes.
