Silicon Valley remains one of the best comedies on television. Read full review

It’s a series that, for the third season in a row, finds power in juxtapositions, and crafts its satire easily by exposing the absurd in sharp relief to the ordinary. Read full review

Season three comes out of the gates on April 24 so furiously the assured sense of self is almost breathtaking. Read full review

If anything, Silicon Valley feels more confident, less uncertain of its identity or place in the TV landscape, and more willing to utilize its excellent supporting cast, especially Kumail Nanjiani and Martin Starr. The lack of notable female characters continues to be a bit alarming. Read full review

Satire doesn't get more satisfying. [2-8 May 2016, p.18]

Like many classic sitcoms, it has taken Silicon Valley until its third season to truly hit its stride. Read full review

There’s great fun, even excitement, to be had when watching a comedy rework and develop its template, not just copy the existing one. Read full review

Silicon Valley's third season is the show's best so far - that's saying something when there was nothing wrong with the previous two seasons. The show fleshes out its dramatic encounters with a little more depth without relinquishing its superb comedic timing.

Doesn't miss a single beat, the jokes are as funny as ever, the characters that are introduced seem fun and interesting, and the cast is, as ever, on top form.

The tech comedy is still going strong. The issues Pied Piper comes across this season aren't quite as difficult for them to overcome as in the previous two seasons. At least not until the later episodes.

As always the laughs are strong, the characters lovable, and tech talk easy to followThe tech comedy is still going strong. The issues Pied Piper comes across this season aren't quite as difficult for them to overcome as in the previous two seasons. At least not until the later episodes.

As always the laughs are strong, the characters lovable, and tech talk easy to follow even if you don't actually know what they are referring to. That's always been one of the show's greatest strengths. Even the non-tech nerd can keep track of what's going on in at least some way.

It's just more excellent comedy. A show that's still as sharp as ever. I laughed a lot and was really invested in Pied Piper's ups and downs once again. Season 3 doesn't magically redefine the show, but it really didn't need to. Silicon Valley has always been fantastic, and that doesn't change here.… Expand

Season 3 shines with a much greater story than its predecessors -- but that seriously miss humor. It's not as hilarious as S02 but still funny in an acceptable amount. The entertaining characters keeps us however invested in the greatly improved story -- a story full of deception, disbeliefSeason 3 shines with a much greater story than its predecessors -- but that seriously miss humor. It's not as hilarious as S02 but still funny in an acceptable amount. The entertaining characters keeps us however invested in the greatly improved story -- a story full of deception, disbelief & engagement. It’s a fun ride into the world of tech, and to follow these enjoyable characters through their ups and downs. There isn’t anything that’s really bad about this show -- just the fact that it's not always as funny as what it could be, and that it might lack some of the great character depth of S01 & 02. Still it’s a very good show. You should watch it!

Overall personal rating for each episode: 75.5/100 (-0.52 since S02).

While Season 3 tones down the humour to focus on plot, dynamic characters, solid acting and sharp writing makes Silicon Valley one of the better comedy shows on television.

Enjoyed the first two seasons of this, I liked Betas better and was sorry that got canceled, but this season of SV is complete and utter trash, couldn't make it past the second episode.
