It’s pretty accurate but my biggest problem with it is that it’s not funny. It might be funny to people outside Silicon Valley itself but it’s so close to real life I don’t find it funny at all.

This is what I've heard. I didn't watch Girls because I knew too many women that behaved like them, and I couldn't watch Silicon Valley because my few experiences with SV people/companies were very similar.
I don't want to spend time with those people in real life, so the humor has to be very absurd to get me past my initial feeling of repulsion.
