Silicon Valley

I was a little skeptical about this show at first and went into with the impression that I would try it but it would lose my interest after an episode or two. This show so far has been a wonderful surprise. Unlike some comedies that create forced, awkward situations that are only funny to the recorded laugh track that plays, I have burst out laughing from a number of scenes that have aired in the few episodes so far. It is very original, smart, has a believable story and characters and has many funny moments with quite a few scenes that will catch you off guard and you will die laughing. At first this was just a show I was DVR'ing then watching at some point during the week maybe a few days later. However the last few episodes have been great and I have been watching live while it airs because it isn't a stupid comedy, it keeps you interested with a pretty good story.

It could have been a 9 or even a 10, but it lacks of character development and tends to repeat itself. Don't get me wrong. The characters (especially the duo Gilfoyle-Dinesh) are extraordinary and well depicted, but they don't grow along the episodes. They are somehow glued to a repetitive story format. Richard is a magnet for problems and akward situations, Gilfoyle is the clever and cynical genius, Dinesh is Gilfoyle's perfect counterweight, Erlich has some rare lucid moments and becomes annoying by smoking from his pot, Jared is the good samaritan "having sex" ... Despite those two negative points, this is an intelligent warm tv-show with a gorgeous and humorous venture of an IT company In conclusion: If you have ever worked for an IT company you will definitely enyoj watching it.

I have been a member of IMDb for many many years now and am a big movie and TV enthusiast. That said, until now, not once have I felt the need to type up a review.

Silicon Valley if possibly the funniest show I have seen, ever. The writing is thoughtful, with perfect comedic timing. The only word to describe the characters is awesome. They all work so well together that the comedy flows effortlessly.

I am surprised to see that this show is coming from HBO. I would expect a show like this from Netflix but not HBO. But I must commend them because they hit this one out the park. I look forward to what I hope will be a long lasting series with many more seasons to come.

You can see from my profile that I have been a member here for many years and have not ever written a single review, so you can be assured that what I say is true. If you haven't seen Silicon Valley you are missing out. Go check it out!

Deserves about a 8.7 . Really flows well , creates a good sense of accomplishment as the story progresses . Likeable characters , unpredictable funny jokes and moments (which is hard to find now a days ) . I also like that the episodes are 30 minutes , they keep it short enough to not make it too focussed on story yet long enough to not make it feel rushed and over filled with 1 liners. Overall a really easy watch as it doesn't require a lot of focus like other hbo shows , and it flows so easy that it becomes addictive as others have mentioned and has a certain likeablity that brings it together without force .

I really don't like other HBO Comedies like Girls and Looking. I heard about this show and I'm a programmer myself so i thought i will give it a chance and I'm not disappointed.

The pilot was great and SMART, the lines were great and performances were all terrific.

All the characters were kind of cool and i'm looking forward to see them again. The characters are believable and may exist in the real world. I can't wait for next episodes. i recommend it to all of you. Watch it and i don't think you'll be disappointed.
