This show is amazing and ever so funny. The cast works well together, and is by far one of the best shows on tv! There are never enough episodes per series.

Very funny show, watched it all the way through in less than a week. Great humour and jokes between the guys. Some nice IT jokes hidden away too.

Watched the whole series twice as it gets better second time around ! Resonated with me as I have worked for tech new-starts earlier in my life, but I could see a lot of people who had never worked in tech not understanding it so much. A well done parody of the ridiculousness and excesses of the Valley !
