The series follows computer programmer Richard Hendriks (Thomas Middleditch) as he forms his own startup company after receiving investment from venture capitalist Peter Gregory (Christopher Evan Welch), who is impressed by Richard's data compression algorithm used in his Pied Piper music app. Meanwhile, after Richard declines rival company Hooli's offer to buyout the app for millions of dollars they reverse engineer the algorithm and create their own product. Richard and his team race against time to complete their project in order to present at TechCrunch Disrupt, where Hooli CEO Gavin Belson (Matt Ross) is also due to appear. When the Hooli product turns out to be superior to Pied Piper Richard spends the night trying to improve the compression engine. Will he succeed in time? (Warner Bros. Home Entertainment)

The first and second season both have a very slow start, but they make up for it in the second half. I wonder how many people didn't even make it to the second half, there must have been quite a few. The third season is much better in this respect and seems like the most complex of the three. I’d give it a 4*+. The series is enjoyable despite being mostly about programming, which I know nothing about, as well as about stock market operations, which I also know nothing about, so watching it feels like watching The Big Bang Theory which is fun in spite of not knowing anything about physics. The best character for me is hands down the Canadian immigrant and Satanist Gilfoyle.
