Silicon Valley (Mike Judge's HBO show)

Post by drizzle »



got a good feeling about this, Judge rarely dissapoints, the cast is gold and there's tons of room for exactly the kind of broad satire of a specific situational concept that he does best

JORT Miller is a very competent and funny actor, he was the lone bright spot in that one movie where that one dude pulled a chick that people that was too hot for him because he was a hard 5 and in a recently canceled and shitty FOX sitcom, he was the MVP of jokes.

Mike Judge can do no wrong; even when he's not right. Pumped.

Miller is funny but his voice sounds like Mallrats era Jason Lee to the point of distraction.

Clearly, his name is not JORT. I believe the misspelling on my part was done for humor. It was an alternative take.

The closest Judge came to disappointing was Extract, which wasn't even that bad, just kinda meh.

Surprised this is on at 10 edt. I didn't expect this to be the lead-in to the returning Veep. My DVR missed it. I'll catch the replay or watch on HBO Go.

I would think the opposite. I imagine as a new show, there's no better lead-in than GoT. Get as many eyes on it as possible.

First episode had some great moments though. Looking forward to see how it builds. The doctor scene and the scenes w/ kumail nanjiani were fantastic.

I completely forgot about the GoT factor. In that case, very smart move, HBO.

I love this show already mostly because the valley seems to despise it. Love all the digs about code changing the world and then Musk comment the other day the show does not understand the valley because Burning Man not even getting he is one of these code will change the world assholes.

Has Andy Greenwald shit on it yet? Because that's usually the biggest indicator of if I'll love a show.

completely off-tangent but is The Americans as good as he rants it is? I wanna check it out but his masturbatory reviews are putting me off. Specially since he did True Detective dirt.

I'm a few eps into the first season of the Americans, it's a solid B+ that has potential to get even better if they develop it right.

Loved the first ep of this, sets a good balance between the gentler character-driven jokes of King Of The Hill and the meaner broader more absurd social satire of Idiocracy. If the show can keep that tone and build on it, it will be great. Albeit everything about it feels like it will end up as 1-2 season cult item.
