Anyone else watchi this?
I thought it was pretty good. TJ Miller is always hilarious.
The premise: a bunch of techy guys are living in a house trying to make the next big thing. The show starts out where they are at a party for a "friend" who just sold his website/idea to a "google" type company for 400 mil.
The main character, Richard, is trying to promote his new website called Pied Piper. It's a music search that can tell if the music you've created sounds anything like the any other music created in the world (copy right stuff).
He passes it off to a couple of people, turns out it could be one of the greatest things ever made, not the site itself, but what the algorithm he created can do.
Should he sell it, or try to make his own business out of it?

I'm watching, it seems like a pretty good show. Nice all-star D-level cast.

Love the cast and really liked the 1st episode. Show has a lot of promise
One of the cast members died while this was filming. I think it was one of the 2 guys who was giving Richard the offers (The one who did the TED Talk maybe)

Well, the dude with the inverted cross tattoo was in Party Down, and the guy who owns the house was in the movie where the nerdy guy gets the super-hot girlfriend. They've all been around though, in supporting roles. Maybe this show will elevate them to a higher status, and people will be saying "That's the guy from Silicon Valley!" Haha

Martin Starr was in Freaks and Geeks.
One of them was Gabe in The Office.
Kumail Nanjiani is a funny comedian who I've heard on many podcasts as well as TJ Miller
The guy who TJ makes fun of was on Maron I think

Martin Starr has been in a million things, so has TJ Miller. I've heard Kumail's comedey and he is funny, but I didn't that was him.

They got a good time slow after GOT. Probably wouldn't have watched it otherwise. I thought it was funny. Actually sat on the couch when I saw it was a Mike Judge project since office space is one of my all time favorites.

Interesting, I'll have to give it a watch.

Been pretty good so far, I've been watching. That dude who played the spaced out venture capitalist Peter Gregory was doing a great job, wonder how they are going to figure out how to write him off the show.

Have watched them all so far and I must say I am enjoying the show. I was trying to place where I knew a few of the guys from (not the dude from Freaks and Geeks) and they were in an episode of the league.

Cool. I'll check it out then. But if it sucks I am going to troll you mercilessly.
