PieFacE Posted April 16, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted April 16, 2014 Silicon Valley.... new comedy series by HBO. Anyone watched it? Shows potential but unsure. Kinda feels like it will turn out like Entourage but massive nerds playing the main characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Realize I am way behind the game on this but I am about to start watching Breaking Bad on Netflix tonight. I loved The Sopranos and The Wire and I have heard this is up there with those two classics which hopefully means I am in for a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You most certainly are, but it is a very different kind of treat. A lot more fast paced, but just as brilliantly written. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 The first episode of Fargo had a bit of a Breaking Bad feel to it but quite funny as well it's even got Saul Goodman in it. It captured the feel of the movie quite well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I predict that even up until season 4, whilst acknowledging it's great, you'll be questioning people who put it up with shows like The Wire and The Sopranos. After Season 5... you won't be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 The first episode of Fargo was really good. Watching it this evening. Not sure about the whole concept but I'll give it a chance.

Yah.I’m very concerned its just a remake of sorts of the film, the film is amazing and it seems strange to have similar characters and a similar storyline. I’ll give it a go though as the Coen’s have written a few episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonic_bouma Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I'd go along with the praise. The presence of the Coen's as producers is very evident. Felt like I was watching the film again for the first time. Freeman and Billy Bob is great casting. Brilliant stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
