Fully Functional.
Silicon Valley gets nerds and coders spot on. It’s such a brilliant show for the first couple of seasons.
I’m curious - why do you think it dropped off later on? I remember it being pretty consistently great aside from what felt like a rushed wrap-up.
To me the humor started feeling forced, and the storyline became too formulaic. They really needed to give the Pied Piper team some wins, but getting them close to success and then snatching it away worked before, so they just kept following that formula. That gets tiring as a viewer, and fraught with angst. They leaned hard into Richard’s anxiety, and pushed a lot of that emotion onto the viewers, which isn’t enjoyable for me. That’s Ben Stiller, Meet the Fockers type humor, which I have never enjoyed.
I couldn’t get past the first season because it felt like anything that could go wrong did. Are you saying that keeps happening throughout the entire show?
