# Top 5 TV Shows About Entrepreneurship and Startups

What could be better than relaxing in front of a series to avoid keeping your head down on a project for too long and making mistakes that could have been avoided? I have the answer: Watching a series about the world of entrepreneurship and startups, of course!

In addition to a breath of fresh air, some series have the ability to give us a motivation boost to help us overcome the obstacles we face! So here is a small, unordered selection of series about entrepreneurship that have stuck with me over the years:

Silicon Valley

Available on HBO or Youtube VOD

If you're interested in the world of startups, chances are you've already heard of this series, but since I still meet people who haven't seen it, I'm obligated to recommend it to you.

Follow the adventures of the startup called "Pied Piper", its revolutionary data compression algorithm and its colorful founders within the legendary "Silicon Valley"!

While the series depicts life in the valley in a very caricatural way, going as far as the absurd, we sometimes discover that reality manages to surpass fiction, especially in this constantly evolving ecosystem. The roller-coaster life that entrepreneurs go through is very well portrayed in images and emotions, which is the series' greatest strength.

Mindhunter

Available on Netflix

Those who know the series will surely be surprised to find it in this article, and yet it has earned its place!

Mindhunter accurately traces the creation of the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit in the late 70s. This summary, which might at first glance describe a police series like any other, actually conceals a secret word: intrapreneurship.

What could be more fascinating than watching the step-by-step creation of an innovative methodology for analyzing the human mind within one of the world's most legendary investigative bureaus? Do I need to add that the series is punctuated by interviews with the most well-known serial killers in the United States, all done in a very realistic way and with perfect mastery of the imagery throughout the episodes? I don't think so!

How to sell drugs on the internet (fast)

Available on Netflix

Is setting up a secure website to sell narcotics online a good idea when you're in high school? Not really. But is it a lucrative idea that changes the lives of those who try? Moritz and Lenny, the two main characters, certainly won't say otherwise!

The strong point: the characters are so endearing that the series is binge-worthy even without any particular interest in entrepreneurship.

Loaded

Available on Netflix

If I had to sum it up in a few words, I'd say: Loaded is Silicon Valley's British little sister, but even more unhinged.

It tells the story of 4 friends who have newly become multi-millionaires after selling their studio and their game "Cat Factory". A refreshing series that I recommend, whose recipe is a dose of entrepreneurship, friendship, British humor, a big pinch of madness, and money, lots of money.

Startup

Tired of series where a bunch of nerds develop an app in their garage or a way-too-clean incubator without ever risking their lives? Then the series Startup is made for you!

Discover the story of Izzy Morales, a cryptography genius seeking funding for her startup GenCoin. After exhausting all her investor contacts, she will have to turn to much less legal and much less safe sources of money...

I never thought I'd come across a series mixing startups and gang score-settling, but here we are, and the result is explosive!
