Somewhat worse than the first. Mike Judge still has this thing for African-American sex workers and what not in his movies & shows.... (I'm sure there has to be a better way to add diversity to the show, but Mochaccino and her ummm..driver? wasn't it) Richard sometimes acts like a mentally ill founder. You cannot be this stupid out of college, even with severe Aspergers. Jared seems needed by the team and if they can make Big Head a long term villain, that would be awesome. Will keep watching.

I didn't think it was very good. Most of the attempts at humor were based around bizarre, unrealistic, and degrading social stereotypes. It lacked the cleverness the first episode had.

I found it painful to watch. He is relying too heavily on tech stereo-types (brogrammers, socially inept hackers, nutty cult like VC’s, etc.). As much as I like Proscha Coleman (Mochaccino) her scene seems REALLY out of place. The only thing I liked was basic idea of corporate warfare/espionage and the product being compression algorithm. Which a lot of people, myself included, are working on. I feel it’s missing a lot of good comic opportunities in favor of the cheap joke.

Really depressing. Wasn't expecting it to be so after watching episode 1.
