Halt and Catch Fire is one of the only television programmes I've seen that depicts computer systems in a truly realistic manner. No fake "I'm in!" hacking etc. Anyone got any other examples of shows that come close to portraying computers accurately? The IT Crowd is possibly another one that springs to mind for me.
