Silicon Valley: The Complete First Season
From the offbeat mind of Mike Judge (Office Space, Beavis and Butt-head), this HBO half-hour comedy takes viewers inside the world of tech start-ups – and the socially awkward underdogs who try to navigate its lucrative potential. Starring a talented...
The bottom line is that I highly recommend Silicon Valley if you like dry and awkward humor, but if not this show might not be for you, but even if you don't this show might be the exception.
As a fan of the tech industry, HBO has done a remarkable job in portraying the vibrant Silicon Valley startup culture in a hilarious, somewhat exaggerate but truthful way
Whereas Amazon's similar series The Betas is great, "Silicon Valley" easily surpasses it
I always have high expectations from Mike Judge, and was especially hoping that Silicon Valley would be great.
Silicon Valley is a close to accurate portrayal of the supremely talented inhabitants of this rarefied atmosphere of technical prowess with the mix of Big Money... and the infinite variety of situations that such a mix can create!Its realistic, hilarious, sometimes satirical but always immensely entertaining!
Judge has put together a writer's room that is as good as it gets, and they provide an amazing cast made up of mostly comedic actors the material they need to make it their own; for a show about socially awkward nerds, it's amazing just how likable and yes, even charismatic, these characters/actors are
Overall great product, great cast and definitely would recommend to anyone who wants a good laugh.
The cast is excellent, the writing is great, and it's well directed, too
The entire cast is funny and the show is very well written
Great casting, the exaggerations pick on the right traits, intelligent script language....came together to make me want to watch more and more of it
Where this show masterfully mixed crude humor with a fair knowledge of web and software development tech, not to mention Silicon Valley in general, they now have manufactured situations where the audience gets to see how inept the main characters can be despite their apparent expert skills
Its mostly a good buddy show and the few female characters are pretty weak.
The characters are each entertaining and the writing is great
The characters are great, it's nice to see "nerds" take a lead role.
There is also a good story and interesting characters here, so it carries weight beyond the laughs.
This story captures those struggles faced by those in the industry while managing to also entertain and poke fun at the lifestyle and culture of our techies, from the tech startup to the massive companies.
Silicon Valley" is a very funny show, with a fresh story line and cast of characters
An incredible show with a great story, amazing jokes, and some of the best comedy dialogue.
Overall it is a great show and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys comedy.
I really enjoyed this series, considering this is my favorite comedy series on HBO ever
Hands down the wittiest, grittiest laugh out loud comedy on TV right now
An incredible show with a great story, amazing jokes, and some of the best comedy dialogue.
It's definitely not laugh out loud comedy, at least not regularly, but the humor is almost always sharp and intelligent, and most of the characters are pretty endearing despite being total jerks to each other
Funny, witty, biting mostly accurate humor about tech world culture in Bay Area.
Much like the humor in Office Space, this show nails and skewers the nerdy, egotistical, and quirky world of tech.
Where this show masterfully mixed crude humor with a fair knowledge of web and software development tech, not to mention Silicon Valley in general, they now have manufactured situations where the audience gets to see how inept the main characters can be despite their apparent expert skills
The absolute best series on tv - great humor - lots of belly laughs.
A potty mouthed rip off of the Big Bang theory that features crude humor and some of the most unlikeable characters on TV.
And the clever satire of major Internet companies and the billionaires who run them is absolutely hysterical ("If we can make your audio and video files smaller, we can make cancer smaller
Great satire, Great lead actor and a fantastic examination of the tech sector of American Business.
Funny satire show that goes between making fun of the nerdy characters, and sympathizing with how difficult and insane their life is.
This show is the perfect satire of what really happens in the tech scene of Silicon Valley.
And the clever satire of major Internet companies and the billionaires who run them is absolutely hysterical ("If we can make your audio and video files smaller, we can make cancer smaller
All humor must be based on exaggerated reality to be really funny, and this show is obviously based on real life in Silicon Valley.
The show "Silicon Valley" actually glosses over much of this seedy reality by pretending that there can be a start-up based on some profound data "compression scheme" that compresses both random data and the normal compression-amenable media
Living in Silicon Valley and recognizing all the ham-handed cliches, I was kind of disappointed (the reality is weirder and more exciting) and this made me cringe.

Starring a talented ensemble of young comic actors (see below) and veterans, Silicon Valley charts the rising fortunes of Richard, an introverted computer programmer who lives in a “Hacker Hostel” start-up incubator along with his friends Big Head, Gilfoyle, and Dinesh
These social misfits live under the watch of Erlich, a dotcom millionaire who lets them stay in his house for free – as long as he gets a 10% stake in their projects
Stuck working part-time at a large tech company called Hooli, Richard’s obscure website, Pied Piper, is going nowhere fast
But when a mid-level Hooli executive named Jared is apprised of the value of the site’s novel compression algorithm, Richard finds himself caught in the middle of an extreme bidding war between Hooli founder Gavin Belson and independent billionaire venture capitalist Peter Gregory.
