Silicon Valley

I guess I would have to pick this as the best TV comedy of 2015. It's one of the few comedies I would call genuinely well-plotted, with stakes and twists and tension and reveals and cliffhangers - but all without ever losing sight of being just fucking hilarious, filled with one-liners and punchlines that had me roaring. Kudos to Mike Judge. That guy fucks, am I right? If this show gets better from S2 in S3 it may officially become the best TV comedy since Community's peak.

Really, really funny. Each of the main characters is funny in his own way. I was a big fan of the addition of Russ. The one knock against the show is that every single episode presents some do or die moment for the company, which just feels a little ridiculous.

Despite the show becoming increasingly formulaic in its plotting, there’s hard laughs to be had. Show took a hit when Erlich left the cast but the core group remains great. Jared Big Head and Gillfoyle are all-timers. The secondary characters.. (Belson, Laurie) not so much. Surprisingly tasteful finale and last scene, showing that the talent was there to make this a comedy classic if there would have been a bit more artistic ambition

Despite the storyline being pretty binary (0 = Pied Piper is going down, 1 = Pied Piper is back in business) this show is a lot of fun. A solid 15 points, maybe even 20 added to my rating because of Jared Dunn. I now consider myself a hardcore Zach Woods fan, altho the chemistry of the whole cast is remarkable. Maybe the most inspired episode of all, story-wise, is the series finale. Creative ending!

The shows concept is really interesting to me and there are some good parts. I liked the more series bits about how startups actually function but I would definitely consider this worth watching if it wasn't for TJ Miller's character. His entire character is unfunny, obnoxious, sexist, racist, and disgusting. I despise his character and gave up after the 3rd season as every episode was made worse by his addition.

Turns out that The Social Network works just as well as a (more overt) comedy. Deserves credit, I suppose, for making people who are literally destroying the world kind of endearing.

fluctuates very wildly between one of the funniest things in the world and something that's moderately amusing. Zach Woods should be a household name

It's one of the best comedies on TV right now, pushing the rigid realism and subtle observational comedy of Office Space even further with characters who are believably pathetic and jokes that are incredibly strong considering the context in which they have to fit. Zach Woods is a particular stand-out -- I noticed him first in Kroll Show and wondered why I hadn't seen him anywhere else, only to then watch this show and see the promise of his talent immediately fulfilled.

1x; Stopped after S1E1.
