Silicon Valley season 4 review

Through most of Silicon Valley season 4, one of the big questions that we’ve wondered is whether or not this would be a breaking point for Richard Hendricks. He’s grown increasingly unlikable over the past few weeks, mostly because of his deteriorating company and also him getting more and more caught up in some shady dealings. Over […]

Every now and then, Richard Hendricks stumbles into a little bit of success. On Silicon Valley season 4 episode 9, we witnessed something fairly similar to that. Who would’ve expected security guy Hoover to be the hero of the story? This was both random and appropriate the more that we learned the truth about what was going […]

For the past few weeks, one of the prevailing criticisms that we’ve had for Silicon Valley season 4 is a lack of progress. The Pied Piper crew has struggled in order to figure out how to further along their company, and they’ve gone to some pretty great extremes in order to secure that extra cash. Admittedly, the […]

For most of Silicon Valley season 4, the main criticism is still that the show is in the process of spinning its wheels. While still funny, there isn’t too much in the way of progress when it comes to Richard Hendricks becoming the next big tech guru. Tonight, Richard’s latest hurdle came in the form of a […]

On Silicon Valley season 4 episode 6 Sunday night, what we saw was a story about turning the tide. Going into the episode, Richard Hendricks was desperate than ever to get his new venture off the ground. Unfortunately, what he started to realize was fairly clear: His history preceded him. Not only that, but losing Gavin Belson […]

Goodbye, Gavin Belson? This is not something that anyone should have been prepared for going into Silicon Valley season 4 episode 5. Yet, this is precisely what happened as Gavin had arguably his biggest come-to-Jesus moment in the history of the show. For the first time, he effectively realized that he was a shell of […]

Going into Silicon Valley season 4 episode 4, Richard Hendricks already did what was effectively the unthinkable: He decided to start working with none other than Gavin Belson in looking in order to build a better internet. Gavin had to agree, but he did that during the first few minutes of the episode. Hey, Gavin […]

Moving into Silicon Valley season 4 episode 3, it felt pretty clear that the entire landscape of the show had changed. For the first time since the first season, there really wasn’t much in the way of a Pied Piper for Richard and company to work on. PiperChat was sold, and Richard was off working on his […]

In kicking off our Silicon Valley season 4 episode 2 review, there’s one thing we have to say: Did you see this coming from Dinesh? Well, in the aftermath of being named the official CEO of PiperChat at the end of this past episode, Dinesh’s ego started to run rampant. He bashed Richard on national TV, took […]

The Silicon Valley season 4 premiere on Sunday night started off with Richard Hendricks in a fairly desperate position. All of a sudden, we had the former Pied Piper head trying to pimp out PiperChat, the new video-chat application, to tech executives in a fake Uber car. The irony here is that this product was really great, […]
