What a riot this show is. Been binge watching the last couple nights.

Outrageously funny.

Got seaon 1 from a buddy at work, probably start it tonight.
He gave it pretty high praise

The last season fell apart before it began and wasn't memorable at all but I enjoyed the show through all previous seasons.

Agreed, like a lot of shows the last season is the worst, but it’s not terrible and the show is definitely worth watching. Overall it’s a great show.

The hotel room scene at the end of the first season where he discovers “middle out” might be the funniest couple minutes of TV I have ever seen.

Loved it……as someone who has worked for small tech companies trying to make it, many of the scenes were all too familiar.

Truish, but the last episode and the wrap-up plot point is perfect.

Yup. Enjoy the show for what it is, a send-up of the tech industry and all the idiosyncrasies that surround it. While it aired, it was a fun change of pace after a Game of Thrones episode.

With a bigger budget they could've really delved into things and skewed this subculture but, then again, bigger budgets = more outside influence which ends up diluting the end product.

Wrapped up S1 today, forgot I'd seen the finale hotel room scene on here.
Already on S2E4

13 days, wrapped up S6 Wednesday night.
Overall, it was enjoyable, though the S6 finale just sort-of ended. Lackluster, IMO.

I think Halt & Catch Fire kept my attention more, but SV was almost as good, for me.
Definitely was expecting a S6 return of Bachman in some form.
