    This episode shows adverse effects of working without full interest. We must do want whatever we feel to achieve, or else things won't go well. I also found few funny parts throughout the episode.

    Familiar, but still hilarious

    Fear not, Silicon Valley remains one of the most consistently funny shows on TV. This season promises to take the show in an interesting direction, but still maintain the laugh-out-loud observational comedy that we have all come to love and expect from this show. It's also great to see Big Head taking a bigger role in the show rather than funny little misadventures. Overall, Mike Judge and Alec Berg continue their run of brilliant writing and I am incredibly excited for what's in store for the rest of the season.
