Spoilers for “Heaven is a Place” within.
With the close of Halt and Catch Fire’s second season, it’s clear to see that the show took note of its troubled waters in Season 1 and as a result crafted a tighter, more fulfilling second effort. “Heaven is a Place” was a satisfying finale, addressing all of the lingering plot threads while leaving enough meat on the bone to chew next year (pending renewal, of course).

It’s hard to feel sympathetic for Cameron’s heartbreak here, as she had more than one opportunity to try and patch things up and chose not to, even when the Mutiny team encouraged her to do so.
