The first two episodes had their funny moments, but the sum of a few laughs and some "present day nostalgia" moments still didn't make for a great show.
However the third episode that aired Sunday was pretty good, several laugh out loud moments (most of which weren't actually related to technology in any way, just good comedy).
I feel now that the basic premise of the show has been established (which may be pretty obvious to us, but probably not to the average Joe) and you have an idea of who the characters are Mike Judge's true strengths can start to shine.
I do agree that there are more than a few cringe moments if you have some knowledge of the tech and startup scene (the more you have, the worse it gets), but if you can see past that and they keep the momentum from the last episode I think we're in for a pretty nice show that is treating a topic that hasn't gotten all that much attention from main stream media so far and to be perfectly honest, could use a little bit of poking fun at.
