Shows that feel likeSilicon Valley (2014–2019)

In the high-tech gold rush of modern Silicon Valley, the people most qualified to succeed are the least capable of handling success. Partially inspired by Mike Judge’s own experiences as a Silicon Valley engineer in the late ‘80s, Silicon Valley is an American sitcom that centers around six programmers who are living together and trying to make it big in the Silicon Valley.

If you loved Silicon Valley, the closest series we have are The IT Crowd (2006), Superstore (2015) and The Big Bang Theory (2007). All three share Silicon Valley's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Flight of the Conchords (2007).

More prone to friendships with women, she's not used to hanging with the boys—especially at home.
