"God, I hate Palo Alto," an exotic dancer exclaims inside a house full of awkward tech nerds during an episode of HBO's Silicon Valley, which debuts Sunday at 10 p.m. ET — an ideal time slot after the Game of Thrones season four premiere.
But for all of the things that this frustrated dancer hates about Silicon Valley, you'll likely find them enjoyable while watching the new half-hour satirical comedy, as the series doesn't hold back mocking the area's burgeoning startup culture. The sitcom was somewhat inspired by co-creator Mike Judge — the mastermind behind King of the Hill, Beavis and Butt-head and Office Space — who worked begrudgingly at a Silicon Valley startup in the 1980s.
