The 5 Best Shows That Get Work Life Exactly Right

Silicon Valley premiered on HBO in 2014  and aired for six seasons until 2019. The series focuses on a start-up founder in the emerging tech industry, highlighting its often absurd and excessive world. Like so many in the real-life Silicon Valley, the lead characters portrayed by Thomas Middleditch, T.J. Miller, Josh Brener, Martin Starr, Kumail Nanjiani, and Zach Woods are part-genius, part-con men, and all just trying to be successful in a cut-throat, fast-changing industry.

Silicon Valley delves into many topics like securing investments, competing with larger, more powerful companies, and even delves into the emerging world of cryptocurrency. Although it focuses on a workplace environment that many are unfamiliar with, it presents relatable issues like business ethics, how business can impact friendships and personal relationships, and the desire for success. At its core, Silicon Valley gets the work life of many of those in the tech industry just right.
