With all five seasons now available to buy on the Virgin Media Store, we think it’s time you got involved! The show is based on Judge’s own experience as a programmer at a Silicon Valley start-up in the 1980s. It remains a truly byting satire, continually identifying and skewering the tech industry’s ever-mutating pretensions, from the humble, nerdy coders right up to the jargon-spouting corporate heads.

If The Big Bang Theory showed how geeks have dominated pop culture, then Silicon Valley proves they’ve truly come to inherit the Earth, lampooning the crazy, modern, bubble-building business environment that spawned the likes of Elon Musk, Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos.

But it’s not that alone which makes it utterly essential viewing. It’s also massively, intensely funny. Whether you prefer Martin Starr as the deadpan and cynical Gilfoyle, Matt Ross, who plays the soulless, hollow-rhetoric-delivering CEO Gavin Belson, or the brilliant Thomas Middleditch, as the show’s main character, the utterly socially inept (but possibly genius) coder Richard, every episode is guaranteed to deliver belly laughs.

If you feel like your comedy viewing needs an upgrade, then Silicon Valley should definitely be your first stop. As the guy said, they nailed it.
