Really enjoying the new season. Is it just me or have they turned Joe into John McAfee?
It's not just you, I thought the same.
To be honest McAfee's life story is ripe for fictionalising though the interesting stuff didn't really happen till the 2010s so HCF will need to run for a while yet
I'm not so sure? I think that the writers are showing what happens to those that follow/believe in the stuff that comes out of Joe. He makes the big announcements/promises and that hurts the ones around him/who believe in his special brand of bulls**t - Ryan's actions are the first time that it's been so close-to-home that he's properly involved.
It's possible that you a correct, but it's only been one hint at the nightclub in the last season that they showed that Joe was open to same-sex relationships. The timing is right, early 80's was when AIDS showed up on the scene, and especially in San Francisco, so it's likely the writers will make some sort of reference to it - but through Joe? I'm not so sure.

Some guy he slept with came round a couple of weeks ago and to,d him he was HIV positive , Joe was tested but we didn't hear the result.Hes had gay sex in this series already he definitely swings both ways
It amazes me no network has picked this show up in the UK.
More then likely Amazon have the exclusive rights to it in the U.K, As part of their Prime video section its unlikely they would not have some form exclusive deal
Yes, absolutely fantastic. Really took me back to the early 90s when I saw CERN's webpage for the first time. I can remember saying "I really don't see the point. It will never take off."
One of my favourite shows. Just a shame hardly anyone is watching.
Loved the final 2 episodes, best I've seen since it started. I wonder if the final season will come up to present day?
I doubt it, they'd need to 'age' the characters by 25 years. Most likely it will end with the culmination of the internet being widely available/Launch of Windows 95.

I know they'd have to age the characters, it wouldn't have to be the full season.

Looks like he'll now be responsible for one of the key building blocks of the Internet:D

Indeed didn't see that coming, still not convinced Joe is well though

Given the show time jumped 4 years to 1990, I think we can safely say Joe's HIV scare was just that.
I don't know my brother in law was HIV positive in 1988 but didnt get full blown aids until the late 90s

Ace. Was thinking about this when I was watching Fargo at the weekend and Scoot McNairy was in it.
