<i>When you have billionaires in Silicon Valley comparing the 1 percent to Jews during the Holocaust, and all that shit…</i><p>So I haven't seen it yet, and I do plan to watch the first episode. But quotes like this — from one of the producers — make me not want to bother. Yes, this quote is justified, because SV is full of billionaires like Tom Perkins, and not struggling, creative people just trying to get by.<p>The reason I'm hesitant about this show is that it seems to be mocking something that isn't worthy of mockery: people genuinely trying to make the world a better place. You can laugh all you want at the What's App buyout, but assuming that the ridiculous events that make the news are the reality of life in the Bay Area tech industry is ignorant, isn't it?<p>Maybe the show isn't as caustic as I'm assuming it is. Maybe I'll love it. I really liked the Amazon series Betas. But the premise of this show — which seems to amount to "SV is full of assholes" — doesn't sound promising.
