Silicon Valley

Silicon Valley is every bit as funny as everyone says it is. I just binge watched the entire series and it absolutely flew by. Silicon Valley is a fresh and funny original comedy that you can watch over and over again without getting bored. It will be as funny watching it for the third or fourth time as it was the first. It was created by Mike Judge, if you're familiar with his work you know how funny most of his shows are and this might be his best work yet. The reason this show works so well is because of the cast (Kumail Nanjani, Thomas Middleditch, T. J. Miller, Martin Starr, Zach Woods, Josh Brener). They have such great chemistry and make each other even funnier. If you're looking for a show to make you laugh out loud then look no further, I promise you won't be disappointed.

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.

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.

Deserves about a 8.7 . Really flows well , creates a good sense of accomplishment as the story progresses . Likeable characters , unpredictable funny jokes and moments (which is hard to find now a days ) . I also like that the episodes are 30 minutes , they keep it short enough to not make it too focussed on story yet long enough to not make it feel rushed and over filled with 1 liners. Overall a really easy watch as it doesn't require a lot of focus like other hbo shows , and it flows so easy that it becomes addictive as others have mentioned and has a certain likeablity that brings it together without force .

It could have been a 9 or even a 10, but it lacks of character development and tends to repeat itself. Don't get me wrong. The characters (especially the duo Gilfoyle-Dinesh) are extraordinary and well depicted, but they don't grow along the episodes. They are somehow glued to a repetitive story format. Richard is a magnet for problems and akward situations, Gilfoyle is the clever and cynical genius, Dinesh is Gilfoyle's perfect counterweight, Erlich has some rare lucid moments and becomes annoying by smoking from his pot, Jared is the good samaritan "having sex" ... Despite those two negative points, this is an intelligent warm tv-show with a gorgeous and humorous venture of an IT company In conclusion: If you have ever worked for an IT company you will definitely enyoj watching it.
