Silicon Valley is a witty half-hour comedy that pokes fun at the US tech industry. It follows a group of programmers as they navigate the startup world.
From funding rounds to corporate espionage, the show tackles the absurdity of Silicon Valley culture with sharp writing and a talented cast.
Such a good show..
I've rewatched it twice now from the start :)
Wow... I haven't done that with any show ever! :D
Aha, looks like we have had this conversation before :D
Yes, 2019! :O
You either have an amazing brain or stumbled upon this by accident. :cool:

Silicon Valley may have had the greatest assemblage of brilliantly and hilariously written individual characters I can think of from a TV show since MASH. Most shows are lucky if they manage 1 or 2, this show had at least 6.
Oh Jesus, the cameo from Russ Hanneman, the billionaire tool in the orange Lambo outside the school…
While that wasn't a cameo I always enjoyed the absurdness of the character. :)

Think I may have laughed for a full 5 goddamn minutes after the part in ep3 where Bighead “gets into Stanford” only to turn up for his first lecture, with his pencil and Big Slurpee, sits down, and then reads on the blackboard he got into Stanford as the lecturer.

Great ending to a great series.
Yes! Loved it. I just finished the very last episode and came here to post what I then saw Deke already posted with spoiler tags. :D

Just an outstanding series.
Really going to miss it.
And I can't believe they got Bill Gates to show up!
I think there is actually a term for it called "Comfort Binge".
You watch shows you already know and enjoyed, and when you watch them again, this time it's not primarily about being entertained or surprised but to see familiar voices, characters, plots and know what to expect.
When you start to watch new stuff, you have to get used to new characters, dynamics, plots ect, so you have to built a new "bond" and make more effort.
"Comfort Binge" creats a feeling of comfort and is less work, so basicly minimum effort for maximum enjoyment.
Interesting... I guess I'm not looking for comfort but for novelty, and am willing to invest the effort. :)
