Halt and Catch Fire (TV Series) Who Needs a Guy (2017) User Reviews

The Most Beautiful Episode

[kennyblove · 10/10 · 5 October 2017]

First I want to thank AMC and the cast and crew that made this show, and this wonderful episode. Without spoiling anything I just want to say that I think this episode is beautiful. For other viewers, if you have watched Halt and Catch Fire from the beginning of the series then you have seen and experienced all of the ups and downs of the relationships of the characters throughout the years. That intimate knowledge really pays off in this episode.

Baby mine, don't you cry

Most I've cried at any form of media. Just heartbreaking. Phenomenal television, quite frankly.

Oh, and if you just finished the episode and wanted another gut punch from something you might not have picked up on.. The lullaby Donna's singing is not only the song she sang to the kids way back in season 2- it's also the song Gordon couldn't remember in Nowhere Man.

I'm genuinely sad.

Indeed, the most beautiful episode.

I'm not the type to cry, especially watching movies or TV shows, but god damn, I cried on this episode and during whole next one. This is the power of a good tv show. I cared so much for these characters; it's been years since I felt that. And suddenly one of them, in the most poetic way, just goes away. The signs were there, but I just could believe it...

Thank God I decided to give a chance to this show. Thank God!

I knew it was coming....

[My-Two-Cent · 10/10 · 3 September 2020]

I'd kept putting off watching this episode because I knew what was coming but I still lost it and cried like a baby... I'm so grateful that I took the time to circle back to this series because I'd watched a couple of episodes when it was originally on AMC and thought at the time how good it was but I didn't have the ability to binge watch back then so thank you Netflix, Hulu and Prime for making binge watching so easily possible...

Who Needs a Guy

[sloff-74650 · 10/10 · 1 September 2020]

A scene in this episode is one of the most powerful, poetic and emotional that I've ever experienced. It haunted me for some days following. Truly beautiful and heartbreaking in equal measure.

Riveting

[saullodanielle · 10/10 · 6 June 2022]

The whole episode was filmed and acted and directed so well from start to finish. The last five minutes of course was phenomenal but doesn't show as the only thing important for episode 7. The most important, yes. But the episode doesn't just stand on that.

I don't know why I'm so broken by it, it's tv for goodness sake. But this will stay with me a bit. Great job!

The Apotheosis of the Series

[LoveStallion · 10/10 · 12 June 2021]

Thank goodness Netflix lets us watch this little-seen gem of a show. HACF gets better with every season. You believe the character arcs. You find yourself caring for the characters.

Much built to the final moments of this episode. I don't think it's the best episode overall, but the final sequence is mesmerizing. Kudos to those who helped a series evolve from a Mad Men knockoff into something much more.

A Gut Punch

[solarpanelshydroelectric · 25 May 2021]

"Who Needs a Guy" and the following hour "Goodwill" represent the emotional climax of the final season of "Halt and Catch Fire". This far into its run, the series has become far more about the interpersonal relationships of the characters than the technology race. As such, Gordon's death is the centerpiece of this episode, a wonderfully humanistic piece of television concluding with one of the most stunningly effective gut punches ever put to screen. It only further cements "Halt and Catch Fire" as one of the finest dramas of the modern era.
