I actually found the shows entertaining. Then again I feel I'm competent enough to understand the difference between the bits that were added for drama and the bits covering the real startup process.
Speaking of which, chracterisations aside, I feel the show did a good job of explaining the highs and lows of the startup process to non-startup people I.e. it's not all about ripping an idea off a couple of brothers, building a site in a night, serendipitously running into a former tech startup superstar who helps you rip off your friends before creating a multi-billion dollar business, all while wearing a hoodie with secret symbols sewn into the lining and wearing flip flops.
Thought I might do the same thing with my webapp - then read somewhere that it was developer laziness and felt guilty - good on you, though, for having the balls to tell ie users to get a real browser
