Anyone else watch this? So far its really funny. They're up to episode 3, airs every Sunday.

Show is about some dudes in an "incubator" who start a site, guy gets offered 10 million or 200k for 5%. Takes the 200k for 5% to start his own company.

It was co-created by Mike Judge, guy who made office space. And it just got renewed for a 2nd season.

Really funny show IMO. Would recommend.

I think it definitely has potential to be a great show. Kind of wish the episodes were a little longer. Nothing happens in the first 20 or so minutes then Boom, something big happens and the episode is over.

Saw the first episode, haven't seen the latest. It's extremely funny to me, though. I look forward to another season and I hope it continues beyond that.

I really enjoy it. Find it amusing and interesting. To me its a nerdier entourage minus the hot girls and parties. A group of friends dicking around while following one key money maker.

I watched the first 2 episodes and I like it but I just wish they hadn't gotten rid of Big head, he was also in Maron and he was hilarious in that.

So fucking good. Me and my boy watch it right after GoT and every episode is just as good (if not better) than the last.

Season finale was amazing. This show is so damn funny, give it a watch if you haven't yet.



And how fast you think you could jack off every guy on NS? Cause Erlich knows.

Erlich is awesome. RIP Christopher Welch (Peter Gregory). He seemed like an awesome character to follow more, but alas he is no longer. Curious to see how he will be written out

I saw the picture and in memory of at the end of the episode, but had no idea he had died.

Just read this article about the Welch, he sounded like a great person, left behind a wife and daughter, but wrote letters to his daughter for various points in her life. Also spent weeks at ground zero after 9/11 helping rescuers. And of course his character Peter Gregory taught us the importance of sesame seeds. Article is worth a read for sure.

So I have realized this show is basically entourage with nerds... And the new guy who drives the McLaren is Ari.


Still one of the funniest shows I've ever seen.

I always get good laughs out of this show but so far this season hasn't lived up to expectations. Last week's episode wasn't bad but the first 2 were pretty uneventful. I went back and rewatched the first season and it was much better than the 2nd is so far. I'm really just bummed the actor who plays Peter Gregory died

I looked at it more like the social network, the McLaren guy being the Napster guy, except a whole lot douchier.
