Silicon Valley - When Erlich goes on his vision quest to come up with a company name. The visuals are a bit much, but watching the "logic" that turns a good trip into a bad one is pretty funny. Also the way he's moving his mouth and shoulders/arms is pretty good. (https://youtu.be/G-Ir9WuI8-8)

I kind of wonder if it might be a movie trilogy that wraps up the books. Since there's a significant time jump after the point that the show ended, that seems like a clean way to make the transition and tell the rest of the story.

You can keep putting words in my mouth all you want. All I've ever done was point out that the show has only presented a small fraction of the story so far.

You seen to labor under the idea that I feel the need to defend the quality of the show - I don't. People can hate it or love it, I don't care. All I've done is point out an objective truth which is that there's a lot more story to be told.

You inferred (incorrectly), I didn't imply any such thing.

There are plenty of people who haven't read the book and still enjoy the show despite having no idea what percentage of the story has been told.

In other words, you need to have read the books to know we're in act 1. You don't need to know that we're in act 1 to appreciate the story that's been told so far.

>You shouldn’t have to be familiar with the source material to appreciate the show

Literally no one has made that claim.

If something is already a 7/10 with a promise to get better over time, I hardly see how it's a waste of time. The person you responded to never made the claim that the best thing you could say about it was that it got better.

>You make it sound like a 10 hour act 1 where "all the good stuff will happen later, we promise."

Because that's the reality. Like, you know it's based on a book, right? Meaning anyone who's read it can easily see how few chapters were used to make season 1. It is very much act 1.
