The new series from Mike Judge (Beavis & Butthead), it seems to me to have borrowed quite a bit from some of the real-life stories related in 'BBS-The Documentary' - especially the history of the zip file, which seems to be the basis for the core of the story - little guy develops compression algorithm, competitor tries to steal it, little guy accidentally creates the impression of being a big corporate entity.... but all with lots of in-jokes and parodies of real Silicon Valley companies.


The entire first episode (there have been 3 so far) is free on youtube for US residents ( http://mashable.com/2014/04/07/hbo-silicon-valley-youtube-video/ ) everyone else will have to use their usual search methods...


Trailer in the meantime -

I have never even heard of this before but I do like Mike so I might have to see about it.
 
Awe that is too bad that someone died.  I am looking forward to seeing the show, hopefully reruns will be on for me to see.
