Is this really a comedy? If yes, then the humor is beyond me. I watched 3 episodes and I didnt smile even once. Feels more like a misplaced documentary of a silicon valley startup. Or something like that.
Third season announced just after first episode had been released. Yahoo!
I was expecting a lot more for some reason but was sadly disappointed :(
I'm pretty sure I never watched season 6. I'm unsure on season 5 as well, finally have HBO again. I guess I'll rewatch the whole show? Definitely remember it being ridiculous yet enjoyable watch.
This best part about this show is the cast. I did miss T.J. Millers character dearly, but the rest of the cast had me laughing a few times every episode. Watching this all on a binge, I do say that it did feel little formulaic as the seasons would go on. Overcome a massive problem, have brief success and have it all come crashing down. Still was fun watching them troubleshoot and grow. Worth watching!
Loved this show. Story of a tech company launched and developed in the Silicon Valley, I haven’t found other shows as good as this one on this category.
The tech stuff is kind of realistic (specially for people like me, with basic level of knowledge in technical stuff). I felt it went a bit unrealistic near the end of the show, but I was ok with that for the fact that it allowed the storyline to evolve.
Jian-yang and Russ, absolutely my favorite characters :joy:
I watched this series episode by episode since 2014. I can't remember how many times I've binge-watched the whole series since it ended in 2019. The characters and their antics make me laugh and feel good every single time. They never get old. The Internet will never forget them either, there will be memes from this series for years to come.
IMHO ...
Best comedy series for software engineers / tech people: Silicon Valley
Best serious drama series for software engineers / tech people: Mr. Robot
This show is definitely the best show out there. I was a little sad when TJ Miller left the show but all in all it was still amazing right to the end. I wish I could get amneisia so I could experience watching this show all over again. I felt like I wanted to be in the team right along with them. I'll miss the Dinesh Gilfoyle banter for sure. Honestly, i'm quite sad it's over UGH
What a fantastic show Silicon Valley was, but I wish Jared would have had a little more to do.
I was never too keen on Thomas Middleditch, who played Erlich, but this season his twerking was a particular turn - off for me. His ass was bigger than the whole Asian race!
And he didn't even try to hide it!
Now, that's what I call talent!
God....
The main reason I still like the show is the quality of the Jing Yang's creativity and the continuing love story between Jian Yang and Erlich (with their prank call teasing).
Sure, it's a bit uncomfortable to watch but who doesn't enjoy a good sausage fest, and there was a lot of that this season.
Still, I have my quibbles.
Ricardo is still the series' main character, but I honestly to God HATE that he 's become this narcissistic, selfish douchebag who only cares about himself and he doesn't care who farts in his mouth or whose poop he has to step in. His only memorable line in the entire series was "KISS MY PISS", and I have made it my personal mantra irl. It has truly changed my life, and I can honestly say that I have learned so much more from this show than what I ever learned from all my years of high school and college studying Scatology.
I rate it 2 comma's out of the 3 comma club!
so boring after episode 4 always kindof same jokes ... i expected more...
Watched the first episode and did not continue! Meh!!!
Loved the series, but hated the ending. Felt way too rushed. Definitely worth checking out.
funny show but gets very repetitive as the seasons go by, it’s good tho
This show was great but dropped in quality as soon as Erlich was killed off , the moments of constantly laughing became less so thus the enjoyment of the show dropped.
Still worth a watch but there's definitely a quality drop. Last episode was nice.
It's a great show, except the last season, that was awful...
I never got the chance to watch this series until I heard about it on Twitter. Highly recommended to anyone that enjoys having a good time.
Alright this Covid shit has us inside wayyy too much. I have no idea how missed this years ago. Totally hilarious show! :rofl::joy::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Its about a few coders who are starting a new company. The comedy is priceless with these one liners that have me waking my dogs up @4am cause im really LOL'n. I found the 1st season alright, 2nd & 3rd way funnier.
To me, this was an incredibly easy show to love. It has short and sweet seasons that always have a particular charm to them that made it very enjoyable. Sure, when TJ Miller leaves a small smidge of that charm goes away, but it is still good television thereafter. I do not think this will be a show for everyone, but it is definitely in consideration for my personal favorite HBO show and one I think everything should at least check out.
Average Season Review: 8.33/10
Recommendation: At Least Give it a Whirl (For Nerdy Comedy Fans)
Would have been a 9/10 if they had stopped at season 4... season 5 was bla, and season 6 was wtf... i start to hate this show, how is it possible because i loved this show in season 1-4.
Great characters, if you are an it'r please do not get annoyed with the IT bullshit they scripted, the story was oke and it was fun to watch.
Although Silicon Valley runs through the same issues that many comedic series do--a mismanaging of plot and humor and characters evolving into a more simplified version of their earlier selves--the first half of this show is really stellar.
It's funny, unique, and frequently functions as a scathing commentary on the world in which it is set. The antics that the characters go through at the beginning are solid because it shows them scraping by tooth and nail, only to narrowly win by mistake. But in the beginning, the mistakes are derived from their own intelligence and ineptitude. This is best exemplified in season two of the show, which is, in my opinion, the peak.
But there's something that becomes kind of stale about the rest of the show, although thankfully it is never dull. The plot arcs and character evolutions feel either rushed or meaningless (or both) to the point where I wonder what what the MO in the writers room at times. Here's what I mean: look at Richard's character. In the beginning he is a socially awkward, physically meager straight man who stumbles into realizing that he might be brilliant coder. At the end of the fifth season and beginning of the sixth, Richard is basically just a caricature of Zuckerberg. Whereas earlier seasons show Richard agonizing over decisions to the point of sabotaging the company, the latter portion just show him as a ruthless CEO who is either unaware of how he affects others or has just abandoned ethics for the sake of success. I don't have any issues with the idea of this being his arc in theory, but the execution lacks some of the grace and self-awareness that makes the best instances of character development shine. And it's made worse from the fact that within the final episode, that arc is basically reverted.
Not that anyone is really asking my opinion, but I think that this could have been greatly remedied by a greater reliance on having plot arcs overlap between episodes. Although it happens throughout the entire series, the last few seasons of Silicon Valley rely on introducing massive issues that are resolved within the same ~30 minute runtime. It's hard to latch onto any one of these issues as any real threat because Richard and CO will likely succeed anyways. If some of these problems were introduced in a more organic way and the protagonists were left to solve them over the course of a couple episodes, they would feel more substantial. Which, in turn, would make them feel more accomplished and talented, and therefore Richard's arrogance and megalomania would feel more justified. It would also allow for the reversing of that arc to be more organic as well.
All that said, I clearly really enjoyed this show from start to finish. I binged the entire thing in about a month. Many of the characters are charming and their antics were frequently funny. I will miss this show, even if it was definitely time for it to end.
Great show to watch and good that the show came to an end.
But too bad that Elrich disappeared. He was the funniest character.
It starts great but it gets repetitive really fast because they do EXACTLY THE SAME every season, also Richard is probably the most annoying character ever made.
The only good think after season 3
I just loved this series the characters are excellent and all funny. I will miss my fix of comedy
With the last chapter they ruin the año serie....
Dumbest Series finale I've watched in a long time. And I really liked all the other seasons and episodes! They owe their fans an apology for such a ridiculous ending. … I wonder if they are going to take their awards back???
I couldn't understand why i watched the show further after season 4, but i did, and season 5 was just trash... It ended extremly stupid...
I usually don't watch comedy series but this,.. it's awesome!
Time to kill this show. (They find
some great new way to use their technology - >they f*ck up massively, mostly by just being idiots - > some miracle happens thats saves them) formula was done for like 20 times by now, and it's getting seriously frustrating. I'm done with this show.
I have been enjoying Silicon Valley up to season 2, but now I need to catch up. What does everyone think about the series now and where its going?
best comedy tv show on this whole damn planet
4th season announced for April 24th 2017! Hazzzah!
"Silicon Valley" is one of those shows you might never laugh out loud to, but it provides a lot of clever humor at a certain pitch you'll learn to appreciate a lot by the third season. I especially enjoy (and get frustrated by!) the constant roadblocks that come out of nowhere as the characters fight to get their product to the market. It's a great addition to HBO's lineup - a succinct and carefully crafted comedy I look forward to every week.
Cant wait for the next season coming in April!!!

You think the early seasons of Big Bang were good, nerdy and geeky? Watch Silicon Valley and think again. Couldn't recommend this show more. It's great for tech lovers, programmers, geeks and even people who are none of those and just need a good laugh!
hilarious show, definitly recommended even if you are not too much into techstuff
So funny. Especial y for IT pros..
(via TV Blaze for WP)
One good show it is.
Awesome show... Very nerdy and funny and real enough for those on this persue to conquer the Tech world. Lovin' it! Be an asshole!
keeping that nerdy :D so good i love it!
keeping that nerdy :D love it, basically my live!
Season 2's even better than the first. Loving it.
Decided to watch it again. Such a great show
This show is amazingly awesome! I'm in no way a programmer, although I do take an interest in the tech world, but I love this show! You don't have to be a "brain" to enjoy the humor or understand the defining moments of the season. You just have to have an open mind and be cool with dark humor, irony, and satire. I recommend this show to lovers of The Big Bang Theory, It's Always Sunny, Workaholics, or Supernatural (because the innuendos are frequent in both). It's a great show and I'm thrilled it was renewed. The season finale was more interesting that I imagined it would be. Proud of the show for being different and making complex technology subjects lively and fun!
This show is the real shit I'm so impressed !! its incredibly funny, the writing is very witty, smart and cunning and the cast is just outstanding go watch this show if you want a good laugh
Code gay and the mean jerk time was the best in season 1.
A strong first season. I am really enjoying the ensemble... a well balanced cast with a hint of ridiculousness. The plot turns can be outlandish, but it sets it apart.
It's hard not to compare to Betas (interesting how they both started at similar times and both deal with competitive launch dates/apps) but I feel the craziness of Silicon Valley (particularly in Erlich, Peter Gregory and Jared) keeps me choosing this over that.
Great series with a great finale. although i don't like how they present tech companies, like they are only formed by males (via Clutter for Windows Phone)
What a great serie! If you dream about how a tech company starts at Silicon Valley, this is your serie!
I recommend!
And what a great end of first season.
An insult to actual engineers.
Loving it.. The tech references are awesome... You have to be geek level 7 to get some... HA ha
I'm enjoying this series, and its funny without too much tech stuff that the wife even enjoys most episodes
I was worried it would be like HBO's version of The Internship, luckily it wasn't so.
If you love Silicon Valley I suggest checking out the Amazon series "Betas" but it was sadly cancelled after one season.
Renewed for a 2nd season already... fine with me, enjoying it so far!
not sure about this one yet, I'll give it a few more episodes.
brilliant stuff! this is gonna be a goodun
I like, Super, Very Cool)

s05: it's more like a shadow of the last 4 seasons.
