The season 1 finale is one of the best episodes of television.

Apparently the show runners had some Stanford mathematicians work through the entire ‘how long would it take to jerk off every guy in a room’ problem with legit math. So all of that scribbling you see on the chalkboards the next morning is a legitimate solution to the question

So I’m brought two seasons and I think I’ve reached the end for me.

Richard is fricking terrible. Just an awful human with no social skills and keeps fricking Pied Piper over.

Ditto for many other side-character hijinks.

It just gets too formulaic and contrived when they constantly fail to launch.

I would say that you don't get the show, but you pretty much nailed it.

Hell, I'd watch it just for the occasional one-liners from Jian Lang about Erlich Bachman

That being said, if you didn't like the first episode I doubt if you'll like the others.

The one liners can be great, but the show goes nowhere. just an endless loop.

I like Erlich more than Richard. It’s weird for the lead to be so incredibly unlikable but the ensemble to be great.

More to do with the actor than anything else, imo

Richard is married to a girl from Opelousas. Real talk. They are swingers.

I loved SV as a network admin and huge fan of Mike Judge, but try Mystic Quest on apple+ it's probably more accessible and similar to SV
