Silicon Valley was so much funnier that I originally thought it would be. I never watched it when it was originally on tv but recently I thought I'd finally give it a chance after hearing about how good it was for years. I'm so glad that I did! I just finished season 4 and can't wait for the final 2 seasons. I have to admit I didn't care for it that much after the first few episodes but stuck with it and it just continued to get better and better and before you know it you're invested in these characters and care what happens to them. It had a perfect cast that made this one of the funnier and more underrated tv shows HBO has ever created. Every episode will keep you laughing as much as the previous ones.
I have been a member of IMDb for many many years now and am a big movie and TV enthusiast. That said, until now, not once have I felt the need to type up a review.
Silicon Valley if possibly the funniest show I have seen, ever. The writing is thoughtful, with perfect comedic timing. The only word to describe the characters is awesome. They all work so well together that the comedy flows effortlessly.
I am surprised to see that this show is coming from HBO. I would expect a show like this from Netflix but not HBO. But I must commend them because they hit this one out the park. I look forward to what I hope will be a long lasting series with many more seasons to come.
You can see from my profile that I have been a member here for many years and have not ever written a single review, so you can be assured that what I say is true. If you haven't seen Silicon Valley you are missing out. Go check it out!

I was a little skeptical about this show at first and went into with the impression that I would try it but it would lose my interest after an episode or two. This show so far has been a wonderful surprise. Unlike some comedies that create forced, awkward situations that are only funny to the recorded laugh track that plays, I have burst out laughing from a number of scenes that have aired in the few episodes so far. It is very original, smart, has a believable story and characters and has many funny moments with quite a few scenes that will catch you off guard and you will die laughing. At first this was just a show I was DVR'ing then watching at some point during the week maybe a few days later. However the last few episodes have been great and I have been watching live while it airs because it isn't a stupid comedy, it keeps you interested with a pretty good story.
One of the tv show which showcases exact scenes from the tech world. Greatly written story about the real life tech world. All the storylines are perfect on how the techies face problems in real life and the issues the tech entrepreneurs would face in the real life. Fine performances by the actors mainly Middleditch. Along with the knowledge content in the story it also equally has nice comedy timing and humour.
When I first heard of the show, I wasn't very excited, thinking it would be just another lame show targeted towards any random dude, thus making it pointless.
However, as soon as I began watching the first episode, I became hooked. Being in a similar situation (minus the incubator) myself, the show was at the same time completely 'true' and hilarious. The characters are indeed the kinds you could find if you walked into some kind of startup event.
Even though some of the jokes are taken to an extreme, it's all pretty believable, since it pretty accurately depicts the world of technology, advertising and startups.. In its own cool way.
Needless to say, I watched the rest of the available episodes that night in quick succession and I was pleasantly surprised. It is genuinely a great show. Even though it's probably more popular around the startup scene, everyone should be able to appreciate the clever humor in the episodes.
There aren't many series or films that I rate 10/10. This is one of them.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaZach Woods has been known to improvise some of his lines on the show, including, "My uncle used to say, 'you look like someone starved a virgin to death.'" Most notably, almost all of Jared's dark and troubled past is made up by Zach Woods on the spot, and he's cautioned fans that he's never tried to make it all fit together so they shouldn't try to build a coherent story out of it.

Donald 'Jared' Dunn: Hey! Sorry if I scared you, I know I have somewhat ghost-like features. My uncle used to say, "You look like someone starved a virgin to death."
