WHAT’S THE STORY?
When an algorithm he’s developed for a start-up music site goes viral, mild-mannered computer programmer Richard Hendrix (Thomas Middleditch) finds himself fielding lucrative offers from two of the most powerful names in SILICON VALLEY. But deciding his product isn’t for sale means Richard and his friends will have to build their own brand from the ground up.
IS IT ANY GOOD?
Based on creator Mike Judge’s own experiences working at a Silicon Valley startup, HBO’s Silicon Valley has shades of Judge’s cult classic Office Space and largely nails the eccentricities of Bay Area tech culture. But its central character is hardly the kind of hero you feel compelled to root for, leaving most of the show’s appeal in the hands of its quirky ensemble, an array of socially awkward man-boys who share a house — and have no idea what to do with a stripper.
Of course, that’s not necessarily a criticism, but the series does take a while to get going, so it won’t have instant appeal for every viewer. It’s also full of crass humor — and a disappointing lack of female role models — making it an iffy choice for impressionable teens who might be attracted to the Valley‘s geeky charms
