AVClub: If its third season premiere suggested that Halt And Catch Fire had its Joe MacMillan addiction under control, the second episode, “One Way Or Another” looks like a major relapse. We first see Joe, reflected in Ryan’s mirrored shades, surfing the San Francisco waves while ’80s-appropriate cool-guy synths thrum on the soundtrack. And that image of Joe the Cool Guy looms over the episode. At this point in Halt And Catch Fire’s history, there are those who still find Joe MacMillan’s often inscrutable machinations the heart of the series, but for the rest of us, that story engine sounds increasingly tinny. Now, after a premiere that suggested a more parallel track for Joe’s Silicon Valley adventure, he once again insinuates himself into the lives of the gang at Mutiny, a narrative choice that’s worrisome for the show going forward.
