Silicon Valley
How big is too big?
Created by Mike Judge, Dave Krinsky, John Altschuler
On HBO
A sharp, fast-paced comedy about the collision between technical brilliance and social incompetence in startup culture, built on the sustained dynamics of a small ensemble.
In the high-tech gold rush of modern Silicon Valley, the people most qualified to succeed are the least capable of handling success. Partially inspired by Mike Judge’s own experiences as a Silicon Valley engineer in the late ‘80s, Silicon Valley is an American sitcom that centers around six programmers who are living together and trying to make it big in the Silicon Valley.
