slowburn Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Have seen the first two episodes of this new AMC series. The first was mundane and predictable. Second episode introduced some unexpected plot twists that will have me tuned in for episode 3. What's the deallyo with the amount of recent decent flicks/miniseries with Texas settings?

No,,there was a semi autibiographical movie about Steve Jobs a couble years ago..The lead charactor played by Lee Pace is a visionary and the son of the owner of IBM... he strikes out on his own to create his vision of the first portable PC. thats what the series is centered around..I happen to like the show.
