Everyone in the Tech Industry knows Steve Jobs' story even before the movie "Steve Jobs" has been released.
Many tech professionals - engineers, designers, programmers, coders, etc. - have either followed his story or learned from his achievements. Which is why it's not strange to see studios reviving his story in their pictures. IMDB talks about the movie's spotlight on Steve Jobs. The film takes viewers behind the scenes of the digital revolution, to paint a portrait of the man at its epicenter. The story unfolds backstage at three iconic product launches, ending in 1998 with the unveiling of the iMac.
Now, after the 2015 movie was launched, comes HBO's "Silicon Valley."
"Silicon Valley" season 3 has already premiered on HBO and it channels Steve Job's story heavily through its satirical twists. According to The Verge, the season 3 premiere of "Silicon Valley" opened with former Pied Piper CEO Richard Hendricks and a group of tech startup recruiters discussing a secret project focused on 3D-holographic facial hair you can don during live-video chats. The premiere played on the shows humor and fictional reality.
Where does Steve Jobs come in? Creator Mike Judge is moving the story's platform to a much craftier narrative: They're channeling Steve Jobs' story.
The Verge describes it as an age-old story. Being kicked out of your own company has happened to some of the industry's most celebrated figure, like Steve Jobs - which is what Richard is going through in "Silicon Valley" season 3. Buzz Feed hints that the show is expanding its scope to something bigger than just comedy.
"Silicon Valley's" third season has already built its tiny startup. Now, after building the tech company, the creators will need to overcome obstacles that tech magnates like Steve Jobs underwent. The Verge ended the review with an expectant note, saying that the show can do so much by transitioning from startups to the powerful corporations who actually are changing the world.
