Not enough to keep me going
8 August 2023
I ended up giving this show a LONG chance because of Martin Starr and Zach Woods. I stopped about halfway through season 2. I usually will only give shows one episode to hook me in. What I did see was only okay . I felt it could've been better.

For me, it just kept the same narrative going and not much changed.

It was a constant cycle of "will they get funding?" And "will they manage to beat Hooli for the product launch?" Etc etc. Just constant stress over these two issues. It became monotonous and irritating.

What I did enjoy was Martin Starr's character, Gilfoyle. He did a great job as the geeky satanist who's also socially competent. While the rest of the characters were your typical socially awkward guys. TJ Miller's character, Ehrlich, was funny but sometimes it was too much, too much of a charicature. Zach Woods' character, Jared, was very similar to his Gabe character on The Office. Shy, soft spoken, but also very good with communication and team building.

You might enjoy it more if you're into the tech world, but if not, meh.
