Silicon Valley - Season 1

In this comedy cocreated by Mike Judge, computer whizzes toil away at a tech company in California hoping their ideas will be the Next Big Thing. One of these is Richard (Thomas Middleditch), a shy but brilliant programmer whose potentially gazillion-dollar compression algorithm piques the interest of two rival industry titans: Gavin Belson (Matt Ross), the Machiavellian honcho of Hooli ready to gobble up - or destroy - any and all competition; and Peter Gregory (Christopher Evan Welch), an eccentric recluse with, perhaps, more dollars than sense.
