Anyone else feel like...


This is R rated version of the "Silicon Valley" ?

I really liked this show. Actually i watched entire season in one go and i just wonder if anyone else felt like they were watching some weird alternate reality version of the Silicon Valley?

I just wrapped up episode 5 and it's pretty good. Good enough to watch all the 5 episodes in a single go. Moving onto the sixth now. I don't really see it as r-rated version of silicon valley though. A bit of Breaking Bad though...like how the main characters, like BrBa, keep on trying to make money but keep getting getting fvcked over and all while getting deeper into the mess. Apart from that theme the show seems quite original.

Don't really see it that way since Silicon Valley is already R-Rated and is a comedy. They are nothing alike. Its more like an R-rated version of Halt and Catch Fire mixed with The Wire.

Considering there are a small group of people with brilliant and hugely profitable idea which some big corporation wants to steal for them self. Which is the plot of Silicon Valley

but in essence nothing alike. but I digress. agree to disagree

Just watched up to #9 in two days & never thought of SV once.

This show seems more like "Mr. Robot meets Narcos" to me... an edgy drama instead of a comedy.

These shows couldn't be more different.
It's like you have zero idea about the shows u r talking about.

Agreed, NEVER once did I think this was anything like Silicon Valley!

I really want to like this show, but it seems to be going nowhere!? (I've watched the whole season) ...but there better be another season!

I might be able to tell you if I could understand half what they are saying. Missed a lot, but got into it and loved it.
