To see all of it, of course, would require an Amazon Prime account, perhaps an interest in software development, wouldn't make much sense without at least enough technological savvy to own a smartphone. And being a streaming-only series, it took expected advantage of the lack of FCC regulation.  As much as you might want, at least, on a show about a collection of geeks in the greater Silicon Valley area, and with only one main female character.

If you have all of the above, though, it's worth the time. A company, an app, a mentor; a CEO, a wizard, a tester, a freak; a pitch, a pump, a push; an interest, an investment, an expansion, an exit strategy.

Like the couple in a Rolling Stone article about the dot-com era, who were living in a place they could just barely afford, but only because they had no furniture. They were waiting for that great startup that would yield riches in the form of massive equity. Even though they had already missed it, in the form of a refused job offer from what would one day be called eBay.
