I miss that show. Too bad it ended right before the AI hype.


Fingers crossed that it'll do an Arrested Development.


Richard has a student with an idea involving AI and joins his company as an advisor but can't keep his opinions to himself. Ends up ruining the company because everything he touches turns to shit.


Ah, I’d forgotten how much I wanted to strangle Richard by the end of that show. He kind of lived long enough to become the villain.


That was the point of his character arc. All SV Big tech Bros turn into the people they sought to destroy. Chasing money and growth.


Wasn't the last season mainly about AI?


In fact, an AI that went rogue was the major plotpoint, so the satire is still on point.

It was the very start of the AI hype cycle, and in fact they built the app: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14636228


I miss it too.

I think by the end I was far more invested in the characters rather than the plot though.
