I feel like a dumbass for waiting so long to catch up. You guys think this is a show that someone could pick up and enjoy starting with season 2?

Really hope gilfoyle gets punched this season. He's hilarious but he's due

I caught my first episode a couple of weeks ago and ended up marathoning it.. Lots of lols in season 1, didnt take long to go back and catch up. Season one finale is a must.

Jared is never not funny, the SWOT board about letting Blaine die had me dying.

My guess is that Hooli is going to acquire the company that brain-raped them.

One of the strongest episodes in an already fantastic series. Every other comedy on HBO is so much stronger than GIRLS.

I actively tried not to like this show but have now been completely won over. The actor that played Erlich always bugged me; he's funny, ok?, he's funny.

so i actually started watching this show. it is pretty bad, i'm not even going to bother with the rest of season 1. lame jokes and i feel like i'm losing brain cells every episode. btw, i program for a living, so i'm in the know with regards to how the industry operates. i don't who the target demographic is for this show, but it is definitely not me.

also, its too white. but that goes without saying.

Not that far along, but this season has killed it so far. Even when it's not super funny you get an awesome episode like last night. Entourage comparisons are kicking in slightly for me

I feel like everything he hates is really good so far, I just don't know if it's to be different, or if he just has that bad of taste in things.

Chamerz, can you tell me some other things you don't like? Liquid Swords and this show are a good start.

nothing deep about this. i'm just personally not into it like that. like i said, i know how the industry operates so it's really difficult for me to sit back and suspend my disbelief, when the silicon valley backdrop is so obviously false / dishonest and is a superficial veneer.

Chamerz gonna do some damage in the year end polls this winter. He's been a silent killer all year. Killing fun, logic, and taste with every dumb word he writes.

What funny is that many people from Silicon Valley actually agree with the fact that the show is an accurate representation of how start ups work.
