I'm thinking of watching 'Halt and Catch Fire', but I'm also taking a hardware & OS course right now, and I was worried that it might teach me some wrong stuff. I might wait till after the final to watch it.

Silicon Valley. Yes a lot of stuff is exaggerated for comedic effect, but not nearly as much as an outsider would think.

Silicon Valley was too accurate for comfort lol. I was working on my degree in Computer Engineering in San Jose, CA when I watched it. I moved to Wisconsin immediately after graduating

Lmao, SJSU alumni checking in. Did you have as much trouble filing the graduation paperwork as I did?

Lol that’s not the school I went to so I can’t relate

Oh, lucky you. I assumed because it's a pretty popular one in the area. Which one did you go to (if that's not too personal of a question)?
