1. > “It’s genuinely an industry we love,” Rogen said. “It’s written from the perspective of people who can’t deny that our dreams have come true because of this industry in many ways, but it’s also so fucking frustrating and aggravating. You’re constantly seeing people make choices that are confounding and contrary to their own love of film.”

2. As someone who works in the film industry, the second episode was literally an anxiety attack. I’ve had to race against time losing the light, last minute additions, unwelcome feedback… so many times… and cramming all of that into one long take both for the episode and for what the director in the episode was trying to achieve just hit all the anxiety buttons. It was brilliant.

3. So it’s like The Bear for actors?

4. Anybody who likes this show and hasn’t seen Robert Altmans “The Player” with Tim Robbins and Fred Ward – it is a must watch!

5. I could not watch Silicon Valley for the same reason, for the first two or three years it was out.

   I moved to Los Angeles for a nice stable job at a game studio in early 2014, immediately after spending two years working the silicon valley hustle, both trying to start my own startup, and also associating with others who were and just kind of being in that world and living in SF in the 2009 to 2013 era.

   The show is undoubtedly phenomenally good, but it was just far too real and far too close to home for me to be able to comfortably watch for the first couple of years. I only finally sat down and marathoned the whole thing during the pandemic… Really glad I did though!

6. how do i watch it without apple tv? i aint payin for that

7. This show is legitimately so impressively dumb and smart at the same time.
