I’ve never successfully made it through a full episode of either Portlandia or Silicon Valley because they’re both just too real for me not in a good way.

I love the SV series, watched it twice end to end

And you are 100% right, pretty much everything in it is very real, portrayed in a cartoonish way, but so real

I’ve met real life versions of almost all the characters in it and even have attended a birthday party in Alcatraz (it was actually a ton of fun, although definitely weird and eerie too)

Hopefully you get to someday laugh at all this stuff

i struggle with the episodes and i was a consultant on the show. very traumatizing.

So interesting. How was it working on the show? What makes the episodes so hard to watch?

Nonsense tech deadline PTSD

The VCs and the founders.

Same idea (mostly) with Mr Robot
