Silicon Valley

Initially considered as a film before it was rewritten into a TV series.

Much of the main cast were friends or friendly in real life because they knew each other from the stand-up comedy world. Thomas Middleditch, T.J. Miller, Kumail Nanjiani and Josh Brener are all seasoned stand-ups.

During the opening credits, you can see how the Facebook signal "eats" the Whatsapp and Oculus signal, referring to their purchase by Facebook.
