The Audacity takes a satirical sledgehammer to Silicon Valley

Created by Jonathan Glatzer, a writer and producer on Succession and Better Call Saul, The Audacity takes a satirical sledgehammer to Silicon Valley. The series skewers billionaire tech bros with cutting one-liners and a parade of ultra-wealthy, ultra-insecure "billionaire man children" who often feel frighteningly familiar, offering a way to laugh at the damage they do.

At the center is Duncan Park (Billy Magnussen), the data-mining CEO of Hypergnosis — a sleeveless vest stuffed with delusion who craves validation. His therapist, Dr. JoAnne Felder (Sarah Goldberg), picks up enough confidential session material to dabble in insider trading; when Duncan discovers this and his own stock threatens to plummet, he blackmails her and both head into a sharp, self-destructive spiral.

Magnussen and Goldberg deliver darkly comic, scene-stealing work as their characters repeatedly clash.
