Silicon Valley - Season 1
In the high-tech gold rush of modern Silicon Valley, the people most qualified to succeed are the least capable of handling success. In Season 1, the show charts the rising fortunes of Richard, an introverted programmer who lives with his best friend Big Head, pompous Gilfoyle, and sarcastic Dinesh under the roof of self-satisfied dot.com millionaire Erlich who lets them stay for free...as long as he gets a 10% cut of their projects. With his career going nowhere fast, Richard suddenly finds himself in the middle of an extreme bidding war over his website's unique search algorithm.
