I'm not disagreeing with you...just wondering how you see it that way. I haven't really noticed a political bent in either direction.
So a show about entrepreneurs is openly corporatist? Yet this is the environment that is still the center of the universe for tech innovation and growth. Even in Texas, the industry centers in Austin, the most regulated city in the State. Would you like Erlich to have 4 renters and a working staff of 4 more in the residential house next to yours? How about a ferret farm? Would you want your daughter to face harassment at work? If she 'Open Carried" would that solve the problem?
They're mocking the entire culture of that area and industry, from corporate (see Hooli, the Mark Cuban clone, etc...) to social.
Show posits that China has more freedoms than America, ergo Mike Judge = Communist lefty. Chen-Yang (is that his name?) has had some great moments this season. Great foil for Erlich. But then, everyone is.
Gavin: What do you mean he quit? Assistant: He entered the building at 9:13, met with the Nucleus team for 11 minutes, and then used his key card to exit the building. Assistant: Three minutes later he was clocked doing 73 in a 25 zone past our daycare center. LMAO.
Just another tequila delete sunrise. The tech side was full of fail this episode. FTP GET turns into FTP DEL using their compression streaming because of tequila bottle delete key mishap deleting the actual master source content at the company they were going to do the demo for. LOL
I love this show so damn much. Even my GF who is not really into shows like this is loving it. She absolutely despises Russ Hanneman.. Speaking of, I found this particularly interesting, hmmm... Spoiler Q: Silicon Valley Season 2 Episode 3 (Bad Money): Is Russ Hanneman supposed to be Sean Parker? A: It's definitely Mark Cuban. "Radio on the Internet" is Broadcast.com -- the company that Cuban founded and sold to Yahoo. If true, that would be awesome! :grin:
This show is hilarious. Also frustrating I guess they can't have a show if the guys have success but you can't keep having them fail because it is so predictable.
That's my only beef with the show - an episode sets up something exciting/big on the horizon for the guys then the next episode tears it down. I guess it was predictable that the guys wouldn't leave the incubator or lose Russ as their investor.
Jian Yang needs more air time. The fish scene is my favorite. It's weird he lives in the incubator but doesn't work on PP.
yea, it's cuban. cuban has even told the story where he was sitting naked at his computer watching his stock price rise until he was a billionaire like russ.
Same place I am. I am not even sure I would like the show if they left but failure after failure drags me down even as a viewer.
