For people who love the tech world, this is a very good show to follow. The best part about this show is its closeness to reality. The show beautifully displays how volatile the tech world is, how awkward smart people can get and how funny the stories behind some revolutionary innovations are. When I started the first season, I expected it to be some show about how some guys do wonders in the bay area, how they get rich with their tech, hangout. I thought it would be an " entourage " type show for nerds. I was totally wrong and that's what made me like this show.Sometimes while watching mainstream shows, I cringe when I see how ridiculously the lead character's love life changes and how unrealistic the scenes can get. Its different here, the characters in this show are actually relatable. They're goofy, awkward, smart, dumb, they win sometimes, they fail sometimes, its awesome. This is the only show where I felt " that's a good use of 25 mins of my life " after watching an episode. Just tolerate the first two episodes of s01 and you'll binge till the latest episode.

The only show as good as this is Its Always Sunny.

I completely wrote off Silicon Valley after the first two horrible episodes of season 5. None of the well-honed character interplay was at work, it was all over-the-top standard Hollywood underbelly humor with the characters caricatures of themselves, and silly plots. Out of boredom, I gave the third episode a try (director: Babbit), and oh wonder: back to its old self, as if nothing had ever happened! Which is: a gold standard in playing off opposites, all the types of real and demented Silicon Valley nerds. While extremely funny, at the same time it hits home because the scenarios and people are actually so believable.

I like this series! Please return Ulrich back! )))
