Found it boring with a care factor of zero for the characters.
Yeah, I can see what you mean. The characters can be hard to empathise with, especially initially. It gets better over time though I feel. I've nearly watched the first season and will watch the next (if there is a next).
The early 1980s was the early heyday of the technological revolution. Silicon Prairie, centered on Dallas, was one area in the US where much of the activity in this sector was happening.
There were a few "name" corporate players in each sector, such as International Business Machines (IBM) in personal computers (PC), Xerox in document management, and Texas Instruments (TI) in semiconductors.
Standard corporate practice was to improve technology gradually and charge customers a premium for successive technologically advanced models of products.
Within this framework, there were many dreamers, often working in smaller companies or for themselves, who wanted their small, or not so small, piece of the pie, whether it be for fortune and/or fame, the latter often in having a lasting legacy.
Those dreams also varied, from only doing things better than their competitors, however small, to producing things that were revolutionary for the time, that made the general public go "wow", as were the rationale for those dreams.
Looking at giving the following a go soon: Turn, Tyrant & Silicon Valley.
silicon valley is well worth it. without giving much away i think the best moments are in the last episode.

Thanks for the "heads up" as I would definitely have not watched the end of the credits.
First thoughts it's the guy from Line of Duty season 1 and both the UK and US versions of Low Winter Sun.Took me a while to work out who it was but I know now.
last week or so the ABC was showing a 3 part series called Changing Minds. I thought it was a brilliant & unique series where a TV camera for the first time was allowed into a psychiatric facility showing the workings from Emergency Department presentations, to the inpatient unit, showing really unwell people with acute psychiatric illnesses such as BipolarAffective Disorder with mania or hypomania, florid psychosis, severe thought disorder being shown as a symptom & sign of an illness, treatment resistant schizophrenia, severe depression requiring ECT treatment, interviewing patients, Dr''s nurses, families, going into mental health tribunal hearings .. simply amazing TV. How they got permission.?
This is episode 3 of a three part series that is on iView. If you can get the first two it is simply riveting TV. It is based at the very busy Liverpool hospital Sydney.

The ABC website gives a rundown on the consent process,and sorry I can post the link, but it's in the tv section devoted to the program. Thanks for reminding me about this show, I saw it being promoted but forgot to watch it, sure it will be repeated at some stage.
