This has been a fun show to work on. I love working with Mike Judge and Alec Berg but they added a bunch of new writers last year and it got weird. It's interesting to hear everyones opinions.

Anyone watched the first 2 episodes yet? Did the dynamic shift without Erlich Bachman on the show? I am watching and not really laughing as much as the previous seasons.
- it's been shitty. i saw the new first episode. it was shitty. show does not go anywhere. just around and around in circles.sarahfailin
- circles for sure. I didn't enjoy last nights episode. Maybe I'm supposed to get high before to make it better.capn_ron
- oh thats a bummer, crazy Elrich made the show, but him on his own doing standup is PATHETICMiguex
- I hope he fixes whatever issues he had and goes back to work w m judge forever hahaMiguex
- never liked himdrgs
- @capn ...No I got high and it was worse actually.Al_dizzle
- He was a main character in Ready Player OneHijoDMaite
- All of those roles finished up before he started acting out more. He'll have a hard time now.Jaline

fucking ridiculous. is the premise of the show supposed to be a company run by naive young adults or just complete idiots?
they sell all the furniture for garage sale prices. sell *hard drives* which aren't worth hardly anything. sell their own hard drive they were intending to keep (oops) and then destroy it rather than picking it back up so they can keep the work they did on their platform. makes no fucking sense.
what about the rental agreement on that huge space they had? are they just moving out and continuing to pay rent? what about the sales team who isn't actually fired because he doesn't have the authority to do so. what about their furniture?
i'm gonna watch one more episode and if it's not a lot better i'm stopping.
- Lighten up man it's comedy / fiction / make-believeDaveO
- a parody must still reflect some real truth to be funny. when characters actions become arbitrary, and major plot points thrown away, the show becomes a farce.sarahfailin
- They mentioned like three times they were breaking the lease. And the CTO does have the authority if there is no CEO, which was also said three times.i_monk
- Cleary that harddrive was not the only copydrgs
- ^ Yes, they just didn't want it getting out in the wild. Although silly, everything was basically explained.ETM
- The guy who destroys the hard drive is a known asshole. He did it purposely to be a dick to his coworker.dopepope
- I think you're confusing 'slapstick mayhem' with 'documentary'.Muncher
- Who the fuck would keep the only copy of their work on one tech dork's portable fucking hard drive ffs. Pay close attention. It's not a difficult show to followMuncher
- they're obviously fucking up hugely. and they have deleted the entire platform before-- apparently not having made any backups.sarahfailin
- They deleted their platform? Don't remember that. They deleted the all the porn content of the servers they were uploading to once.ETM
- ^ah yeah that's what i was thinking.sarahfailin
- That's not unrealistic. Owner of a then major bitcoin exchange erased everything because thought "terminate" meant "stop", not "delete irretrievably" on AWS.raf

SPOILER ALERT
The last episode was kind of meh, that delete key gimmick would never have been an issue in any kind of semblance of reality. Seriously, hit the delete key and it locks their servers??? how is the delete key deleting files on a remote server while overloading both servers!!?!
I was enjoying the geekiness of the show because so far it felt pretty authentic.
I'm glad Halt and Catch Fire is still holding up!
- Agree. Plus what company doesn't have backups?ETM
- They were FTPing the data so depending on the FTP client being used, they could delete the files on the server if they had permission and no delete confirmationSteveJobs
- I was pretty shocked they took that leap as well, but without extensive use of all the FTP clients and respective settings I was able to suspend my disbelief.SteveJobs
- And ETM, you'd be surprised.SteveJobs
- I know it's somewhat possible with a long series of incredibly stupid mistakes... but a laptop on the kitchen table can lock everyone out? it's inconsistentzarkonite
- with the rest of the story and the characters in general...zarkonite
- The whole idea of a standard FTP transfer at that level for 20 TB of data are just stupid, regardless.ETM
- And much of the deleted data would be recoverable since it wouldn't have been overwritten on media yet.ETM
- And some recoverable with caching via the inevitable CDN's they'd be using.ETM
- etc. :)ETM
- if they were so concerned with having their pants down over a data transfer why was a 20TB HD with test data not couriered over instead?prophetone
- Or 20, 1 TB drives!ETM
- Exactly.prophetone
- its like we have our own silicon valley in heredrgs

both my girlfriend and i looked at each other after the latest episode and said that the show is dumb now. lost everything. was it TJ Miller that was holding it together? Jiain Yang and Richard are not big enough characters to carry that show.
- TJ Miller was annoying and pointless as a character but he helped distract us from the fact that the show is about a boring tech company.freedom
- The problems were different to other shows and the characters were fresh. And yes TJ was the golden boy. It's just repetitive issues now.Hayzilla
- TJ Miller was unnecessary from the beginningdrgs
- TJ Miller was a great loss for the show, IMO. How is he pointless? More pointless than Bighead? Or Dinesh? Or Lori?jagara

TJ Miller has quit the show.
- SPOILER!imbecile
- no way!moldero

That's what has made these first couple of episodes from the new season so excruciating to watch - they rely so heavily on Richard.
- and Jian Yang. He's a hilarious bonus but giving him a big storyline is kind of ehjuanluisgarcia
- yes!fate

at some point i just wish theyd get their shit together... plus show paying the salaries? this business has no money!
whos going to pay the bills etc now urlich is gone
bundle that space saver with a cleaner app or flashlight and theyd have a hit on their hands
why hasnt he licensed the technology. oracle, microsoft, google, facebook etc would break their hands off to have access to his algorithm.
hed be sitting pretty and able to do what the eff he wants without the corporate bs
- Richard is greedy. He's passed up multiple chances to be a millionaire. Not sure I could take another season of the same shit. Especially without Erlich.HAYZ1LLLA
- Gilfoyle and Dinesh should have they're own showRamanisky2
- Richard isn't greedy, he's arrogant and egotistical. He thinks he can change the world and he wants all the credit for doing it.ETM
