If you like It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Silicon Valley you might want to check out Mythic Quest (www.imdb.com)

I feel like it leans more into the latter as a kind of tech industry comedy. It stars Rob McElhenney who played Mac in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and I feel like a lot of the humor his character adds is present in Mythic Quest.

I wanted to share this because I was pleasantly surprised by Mythic Quest and I feel like other people who are looking for a lighthearted comedy to watch might enjoy it.

For me, the secondhand embarrassment is too much. Love Silicon Valley though!

Have you watched Curb Your Enthusiasm?

I feel like it's significantly worse for that

Or the original UK office.

The IT crowd is one of the worst I know

Had to pause midway through almost every episode to get over the embarrassment

I liked the title original title "Jerks" much better. When you understand its supposed to be like "Friends" if they were all jerks instead, it makes more sense.

I don’t like watching a show about bad people, nor do I like watching bad things happen to people, whether they’re bad or not. I like the occasional clip like kitten mittens, but the rest of the show is not my bag.

I also liked Silicon Valley though

Just a bunch of folks being utter jerks for no reason? The 5 episodes I watched scarred me enough to want to never go back. To me, it's a crass show. But if you enjoy it, good for you!

That's fair, I enjoy watching them act like jerks and then getting their comeuppance for being jerks.
