-
Silicon Valley remains one of the best comedies on television.
-
Season three comes out of the gates on April 24 so furiously the assured sense of self is almost breathtaking.
-
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.
-
What's truly impressive, though, is how these intricacies ground the show in a universal empathy among office drones and yet they're somehow still hilarious.
-
Amid the precision-tooled dick jokes and the airtight comedies of errors, Silicon Valley cuts the compelling tale of a creator forging his own path through a frontier where every other maverick is a charlatan--or worse.
-
It’s easy enough for new viewers to join this Emmy-nominated gem, as its third season reshuffles everyone’s deck at least once.
-
The high-IQ ensemble cracks the code with rapid-fire jokes on geek culture and frantic tension, striking a balance that continues to make the show a gutsy look at how success requires failing again... and again... and again. [22/29 Apr 2016, p.104]
-
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.
-
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.
-
Silicon Valley, then, may end up being recognized as Judge's magnum opus in this sense--a complicated, heartfelt, and intensely uproarious articulation of the struggle to freely realize one's creative yearnings, whether in business, technology, or art.
-
Silicon Valley isn’t the kind of place you’d like to live (or even work), but it is a fun spot to visit. It makes you happy you never devised a single app in your life
-
[Silicon Valley] continues to demonstrate a knack for making business and technology strategies a comprehensible and effective component of its storytelling.
-
Valley turns into the story of a young company fighting for a soul its founders never realized it had. As a result, it gives Silicon Valley a bigger heart than it’s ever had before.
-
There’s great fun, even excitement, to be had when watching a comedy rework and develop its template, not just copy the existing one.
