Yeah, I'm liking it too. As soon as you think you know where the show is going, it throws you a big curveball. But it's working for me. My wife is enjoying it too.

Speaking of Hannibal.

Beating heart made of human body parts, fleshy stag monster - ok. Botticelli painting with some naked people - blur that [expletive].

Our country is strange.

Silicon Valley continues to be one of my favorite shows on TV.

Erhlich's "coding" scene was hilarious. He's probably one of my favorite characters going right now.

That whole damn show is perfect. I find Richard a bit annoyingly written, but it's such a minor complaint. I can't wait to watch the last episode.

At the end of the last episode I got a very Entouragey vibe where they just keep piling obstacle on top of obstacle and bailing them out through deus ex machina [expletive] like the contract situation and I would prefer they just let Richard be successful and just let the characters be funny. I still really like it though. It's hilarious.

I think there's a bit of that in many shows because stuff has to happen in every episode, but because it's a comedy the How doesn't matter as much to me. And for a deux ex machina bit, the way they chose was at least topical. It's probably my favorite show on TV, but that's likely because I work in that world so the satire strikes me a bit more. Even without it though there's so many objectively funny episodes(last week's is a particularly good example) that I'd still recommend it to anyone.

It's a bit of a shame because Thomas Middleditch is hilarious. There's a great Paul Lynde impression at the end of the second clip.
