Did Amazon do a bunch of analytics and figure out that this is what people want to watch? (IIRC that's how House of Cards was conceived). It's terrible on so many levels.

Note that this show is terrible. They are trying to make Silicon Valley and startups look like Hollywood and scriptwriting. The first episode has the main characters (startup co-founders) hanging out at a trendy bar and programming there. Of course one is a stereo-typical aspie guy with no social skills but is a genius with computers. Then they go to a house party thrown by a big name VC that I think is supposed to b…
