We’re like no, we might lose people on this one, like I’m not sure everybody knows what that is, and then I remember when we started shooting I was listening to…I listen to news radio in the morning, and in the normal course of the 22-minute news cycle they were talking about the stock market, and the weather, and bitcoin, and I was like okay if bitcoin prices have made the daily 22-minute news ticker then it’s certainly…bitcoin has sailed into the zeitgeist. Season five, it was last season, where we did a big thing about cryptocurrency, and when we started writing the season everyone was like, oh crypto’s the thing. We did a lot of research, and so every year we would kind of have these meetings with tech people when we started writing, and we would say what’s going on, what’s the next thing that everybody’s going to be talking about, and there was the season…I think it was season four…no.
All of those moral questions became more and more relevant.ĭEADLINE: Did contemporary events ever overtake, uncut, or otherwise sabotage a storyline?īERG: No. It felt like…we just guessed right, tone-wise, and I think the cast were really strong, and we also…we got super lucky that we got to the tech industry after the social network had been made, so people kind of had a sense of what was going on there, but I don’t think it was like a pervasive subject, so I feel like there was a lot of fresh material to be mined, and also, over the course of the six seasons the questions that we were asking about the tech business being more and more relevant, and the fact that Facebook swayed an election. The finale of season one I knew really worked, so it’s like look, if they’re buying this stuff then we kind of have pocket aces, and I know if the first few episodes are getting this reception then it’s only going to get better, and yeah, that was a good feeling. it was a super good audience and they really got the show, and yeah, it was great, and then you start to…the first few episodes air and you start to get good feedback on them, and then it’s sort of like knowing the first season the way I did it’s like oh, if they’re liking these episodes…I knew that we finished really strong in Season 1. That was kind of terrifying because it was the first time that anybody who didn’t work on the show had seen it, and they just played great, and I think that’s when we kind of knew all right we might’ve gotten away with this. HBO doesn’t do any audience testing, or focus groups, or anything, so we had showed it early on to a few friends and people were giving us good feedback, and then we took the first, I think, two episodes to South by Southwest, and we screened them there in front of an audience. Did you perceive a moment like that with Silicon Valley?īERG: Yeah. 'Crisis On Infinite Earths': CW's Huge Superhero Crossover Event BeginsĭEADLINE: With many successful shows there’s a moment where everything clicks and the show seems to find itself and its audience.
