While Silicon Valley may have ended several years ago, its influence is still felt. Running for six seasons, Silicon Valley was definitely a major entry in the pantheon of technological dramas and workplace comedies. However, despite its technical jargon, it makes for great deadpan and situational humor, bolstered by performances of actors like Thomas Middleditch, Kumail Nanjiani, and Martin Starr. Rather than delving into familiar underdog narratives, the show takes a more realistic turn leaving no stone unturned in satirizing corporate drama and cracking intellectually superior jokes that many techies might relate to. The Mike Judge-created comedy series revolved around a group of down-on-luck programmers who wish to make it big in Silicon Valley, competing against several other programmers and companies who harbor similar dreams. Shows like Silicon Valley bring the world of computer programmers and tech geniuses to the general masses.
