- chaostheory 3y agoThey ended that way too early. There is so much good content to write about now. I know it’s hard to transition, but do you really need (near) the full cast still?
- kramerger 3y agoDon't know. The last 1-2 seasons started to get boring as the writers ran out of ideas.
- losvedir 3y agoThe last season was my favorite. I was amazed how well it captured the AGI vibes in my corner of Silicon Valley at the time. These days I think most people would easily recognize OpenAI and GPT, but it was filmed 5 years ago!
- Apocryphon 3y agoWhat we really need is more shows to take up the concept and satirize modern tech (and SV specifically) from their own unique angles. The only one that did was the short-lived Amazon original Betas, which had more irritating younger characters, yet for all of its memespeak it really did feel like it grokked the startup bubble culture well enough, especially since it was actually set in the SoMa of San Francisco, rather than Silicon Valley’s Palo Alto!

- bombolo 3y agoToo early? It was always "oh now piedpiper fails… oh we saved it, we are rich again"
- rchaud 3y agoThe "Entourage" strategy.
- cloverich 3y agoI've seen a few shows go through this kind of death phase, and have always been curious about the internal writing dynamics that leads the team towards these bite sized episodes without an overarching story line of interest. Especially because it seems like such a staple of good shows to have an overarching story, then a few concurrent story lines, with a final dose of single episode dynamics. I'd think they have to know they are breaking away from an established successful formula and instead trending towards the show being cancelled, I just wonder if its on purpose, or they just can't get the good writers back, producers meddling, or what.
- conradfr 3y agoThe show didn't really survive the firing of T.J. Miller and flanderization was coming hard. But yes it would be great to have the show nowadays with a fresh look at the current environment.
- rchaud 3y agoUnless TJ Miller was also a writer on the show, he wouldn't have been able to save the last season.
- cykros 3y agoIndeed. They could go with an anthology of seasons style show, however, if Mike Judge is up for it. New start ups with new seasons, with the occasional throwbacks perhaps.

- zouhair 3y agoThat was a documentary.
- greiskul 3y agoAnyone that I know that has worked in Big tech in the past decade knows that. There has nothing that managed to capture the slice of life absurdity that Big Tech can be at some times than that show.
- vidarh 3y agoThere were times I thought "I know someone like that", there were times I thought "I know that person", and there were times I literally knew people on it... It was disturbing to watch.
- lostlogin 3y agoIt could be worse. If you get to ‘there I am’, it’s too late.
- kirubakaran 3y agoTo say “there I am”, you’d need to possess a level of self awareness that would prevent you from acting in a way that would make lampooning you fun
- vidarh 3y agoOr you could literally be some of the people from the Techcrunch Disrupt bit. Which is what I literally knew people from.
