I have mixed feelings about the show but I think it deserves a second season at least. I just want to see where they're going with it, really. The acting is decent, they've done a good job with the sets, wardrobe and music. There's good stuff here but the writing has kinda been all over the place. Give them another season and lets see if they can make something coherent out of it.

Technical accuracy ranting: Those modem handshake tones were of the 36.6/56k era.

If I could go the rest of my life without ever hearing another goddamn modem handshake noise, I would consider that a success. That sound was the bane of my computer-using existence for far, far too long as a child.

When I was a kid I desoldered and removed or filled the on-card speakers of every modem I had with silicone. I used to stay up all night on the internet during the week when I was supposed to be asleep; I'd need to redial and those drat things would blow my cover and wake my parents up and they'd get pissed off!
