  1. Silicon Valley: grotesque finale for this hilarious show (ENG - ITA)@serialfiller2251d

    Silicon Valley: time to say Goodbye

    Tunnel Wave.png


    Over the past few weeks I've told you about the top 30 serial new releases for 2019. From Watchmen to Chernobyl, passing through Too Old too die Young and The Mandalorian, there have been a lot of new series that have left a strong mark on this year. But it has also been a year of great goodbyes on which The Affair and The Deuce have stood out but also a very important comedy that has kept us company in the last 6 years. At its debut Silicon Valley had managed to carve out a crucial place in the comedy scene. The TV series had managed to offer another facet to the Nerd universe, expanding what the pioneer The Big Bang Theory, also finished this year, had begun to face. Brilliant and brilliant young people, shy and geeky, awkward and on the verge of autism, came to the fore thanks to the Chuck Lorre series that had managed to change the paradigm. No longer "losers", laughed at by everyone and considered strange, but interesting guys to dedicate space and trust, fall in love and laugh together. "Silicon Valley" added new facets to the world of NERD. In the TV series we give space to the brilliant and entrepreneurial side of these guys, absolute geniuses who would like to change the world but who will have to deal with the sharks of this world.

    Nelle scorse settimane vi ho parlato delle migliori 30 novità seriali del 2019. Da Watchmen a Chernobyl, passando per Too Old too die Young e The Mandalorian, sono state tantissime le nuove serie che hanno lasciato un'impronta fortissima a questa annata. Ma è stato anche un anno di grandi addii su cui hanno spiccato The Affair e The Deuce ma anche una importantissima comedy che ci ha tenuto compagnia negli ultimi 6 anni. Al suo debutto Silicon Valley era riuscita a ritagliarsi uno spazio cruciale nel panorama delle comedy. La serie tv era riuscita ad offrire un'altra sfaccettatura all'universo dei Nerd, espandendo quanto la pioniera The Big Bang Theory, anch'essa terminata quest'anno, aveva iniziato ad affrontare. Giovani geniali e brillianti, timidi e smanettoni, impacciati ed al limite dell'autismo, sono saliti alla ribalta grazie alla serie di Chuck Lorre che era riuscito a cambiare il paradigma. Non più dei "loser", derisi da tutti e considerati strani ma dei tipi interessanti a cui dedicare spazio e di cui fidarsi, innamorarsi e ridere insieme. "Silicon Valley" ha aggiunto nuove sfaccettature al mondo dei NERD. Nella serie tv si da spazio al lato geniale ed imprenditoriale di questi ragazzi, geni assoluti che vorrebbero cambiare il mondo ma che dovranno fare i conti con gli squali di questo mondo.

  2. Silicon Valley Season Two Review: Startup life gets shady@namiks3001d

    Silicon Valley.jpg

    Following the success of Richard Hendricks' Pied Piper company, a revolutionary compression algorithm, the world of startup life takes a dark turn as a competition over the algorithms within the market takes place, creating a series of hurdles that threatens the future of the company.

    Following its strong approach of satire, the show begins to introduce billionaires, which are equally as awkward, and ignorant in this game of innovation and venture capitalism. Each affecting development and further creating issues for the Pied Piper team to overcome in search of additional funding. Comedy is as strong as ever as the characters begin to get competitive and pushed into a more professional working environment by Jared, which never seems to go as planned, given his obliviousness and lack of humour.

    Satire is definitely where this show is shining; it's self-aware and fully understands the nature of startup culture, and never fails to display it in such a manner that's on-point, but still somewhat exaggerated. It's mostly light on the pop-culture references, allowing the comedy to feel more fluid and between characters and their interactions.

    I'm excited to see if the third season can maintain this quality, so far, the first two seasons have exceeded my almost non-existent expectations for the show. It's a breath of fresh air that focuses on an area that is often overlooked in shows; especially for a comedy.

  3. Silicon Valley Season One Review: Startup culture turned into comedy@namiks3003d

    Silicon Valley.jpg

    Given the many aspects of 'nerd culture', it's often misrepresented among the various forms of media; software developers aren't entirely Star Wars fanatics that are working low-level tech jobs and don't have girlfriends.

    Silicon Valley successfully manages to remove that stereotype and inject its own, based loosely on similar events based on writer Mike Judge's life. The show focuses on the ambitious, yet unprepared creatives of Silicon Valley as they attempt to 'make the world a better place' with their startups; something every other person is also attempting within the valley.

    The show follows Richard Hendricks, a college dropout set on developing his project, Pied Piper, a simple compression algorithm, and he finds his unexpected success rather quickly, offered either $10m for the company, or $200,000 and funding with him remaining as the CEO.

    His newfound successes run into the inevitable struggles of startup culture; panicking over success, riches, and the various hurdles that face a company in its infancy. The comedy comes in through the realistic behaviours software engineers and the enthusiasm they have for their projects, enthusiasm that is not exactly met in the same light by all.

    With each episode only 30 minutes long, the comedy and narrative feel neatly compiled, not too rushed, and without the comedy stretching too far into the bigger picture. It's a great watch that places the entire world of venture capitalists and ambitious startups in a world of satire and idiocy, all fully self-aware.
