Partially inspired by co-creator Mike Judge's experiences as a Silicon Valley engineer in the 1980s, this comedy series follows the misadventures of introverted computer programmer Richard and his brainy friends as they attempt to strike it rich in a high-tech gold rush. They live together in a Bay Area startup incubator loosely run by self-satisfied dot-com millionaire Erlich, who lets them stay in his house rent-free in exchange for a stake in the projects they invent there. But when Richard develops a powerful search algorithm at his day job, he finds himself caught in the middle of a bidding war between his boss -- whose firm offers Richard an eight-figure buyout -- and a deep-pocketed venture capitalist.

Silicon Valley's humor is both physically and verbally agile, and it constantly draws on and deepens our understanding of its characters, the relationships between them, and the world in which they operate. Go to Full Review

"Server Error" still had all the hallmarks of a quintessential "Silicon Valley" season finale. Leaving no plot threads unspooled, it's also a solid example of how the show is one of the most intricately plotted comedy on TV. Go to Full Review
Alyssa Rosenberg Washington Post 12/28/2017
I would still watch "Silicon Valley" for the jokes even if it wasn't an astute series about business. But if it has truly forsworn the possibility that Pied Piper might fail, then I will think slightly less of it. Go to Full Review

While HBO's Silicon Valley is an enjoyable show, make sure your eyes are open to its erasure of already-marginalized communities within the tech industry. Go to Full Review

The series continues to mix sight gags, situational comedy, and strong writing to be the best version of itself. Go to Full Review

While there's still the lingering concern that Silicon Valley's endless twists will eventually cause some audience fatigue, the Emmy-nominated comedy deserves the benefit of the doubt until they prove us wrong. Go to Full Review
