Tonight, the Memorial Day Holiday kept “Silicon Valley” from coming on the air with a new episode. However, you can go ahead and expect the finale next week to be stuffed full of some shocking twists as Pied Piper really does everything that it can to survive while Gavin Belson threatens to completely destroy them […]
Game of Thrones, Silicon Valley
Memorial Day Weekend is always a tough one when it comes to TV, given that the Sunday beforehand is practically another Saturday, and that is notoriously the worst day of the year as far as new programming goes. With all this in mind, it should not shock you that a pretty hefty percentage of your […]
As we near the end of “Silicon Valley” season 1, our opinion remains the same about the series: It is one of the funniest things on TV right now. While there are still some flaws and some of the supporting characters do tend to get lost, there is so much still to like about this […]
Is Jared from “Silicon Valley” the best new character on TV this year? That may be a hard mountain to climb, but we’ll at least say for sure that he is one of our favorites from any comedy series. Zach Woods has painted this guy perfectly, as he is extremely competent at his job, but […]
