I think the reason this show is so amazing is that I (and I assume most of you) have encountered every character in this show in real life. Very much like Office Space in that sense.

i encounter them daily (with love, of course) and i legit thing peter is a template for my future success since all the lovely things in his life have lined up with mine in a shocking manor :\

:agreed: he was also the best in Party Down (which was a good show)

he was amazing there and it was part of the reason i went and watched freaks and geeks

silicon valley is really funny if you've ever worked in "Tech" on the west coast.

several of my friends are archetypes of the people on that show, and they either find it uproariously funny or can't watch because it hits too close to home.

this hit pretty drat close but boy it's true though

i've never worked in silicon valley, but the show is accurate as a parody of tech culture at large

i know a person that i've either worked with or met in a professional setting that matches every single main character on that show, and it's always so weird to me

i think i said it before in another thread but it really feels like they nailed the dynamic of a small startup based on what ive done

the big corporate side ball pit is totally a valley thing, but the dynamic bullshit gavin pulls feels like itd be believable in any massive company. his spin skills are almost too real and i swear ive seen emails that feel just like his compression apology
