    I held off watching SV 4 for a while. Some of the actors IRL social network presence really annoyed me. But what matters is the show right?
    The show is still one of if not the best comedies of the 21st century. There are enough truly classic one liners to cement this show as comedy gold.

    Loved the first two seasons especially, but it felt like this season was treading water. The show has become a bit too cyclical and repetitive, despite only ten episodes to a season.

    'Silicon Valley' is as hilarious as in the previous seasons and what makes it so addictive is the way it allows the characters to be spontaneous and how it approaches the new modern age of technology.

    The bottom has fallen out of the writing for Season 4. Its humor is lame-- vulgarity substituting for wit. I loved Seasons 1-3. This is a huge disappointment. Viewership has fallen by 50% from previous levels, supporting my opinion. Try it if you haven't, but don't expect it to get any better as it goes on. Sad end to a great show.

Sad end to a great show. Update: In fairness, I need to note that episode 9 improved markedly. If the last episode similarly improves, I will be wrong to say that it doesn't get better as it goes on. Nevertheless, one has to wait a LONG time for that to happen.… Expand

    It's been very clear for a while now that Silicon Valley has a formula. Everything that conceivably (and inconceivably) can go wrong will go wrong, until the very last episode of each season, where after it seems everything is just crashing down into a bitter end for Richard, Pied Piper, and their vision, but then just one thing finally goes right for them, gives them a glimmer of hopeIt's been very clear for a while now that Silicon Valley has a formula. Everything that conceivably (and inconceivably) can go wrong will go wrong, until the very last episode of each season, where after it seems everything is just crashing down into a bitter end for Richard, Pied Piper, and their vision, but then just one thing finally goes right for them, gives them a glimmer of hope that they may have a bright future, and then leaves on that note until the next season with a new mission in mind.

    You would think it would become predictable by this point, since as a regular viewer, you're basically trained to just pick out all of the set up happening, picking out things you just know is going to bite them later down the road, but you can never really figure out how until it does, and the payoff is always unpredictable, and uncomfortably delightful.    … Expand

    While Season 4 isn’t as laugh-out-loud funny as the three seasons that preceded it, it remains a self-aware, thoughtful look about the hardships of trying to keep one's company relevant in the rapidly changing technology environment, while also dealing with the difficulties of being a sole entrepreneur.

    Not as good as the previous 3 seasons no doubt, but its still worth watching if you like the first three, I wish it ended in this season but they're going to drag it on and make it even worse, very unfortunate.

    Silicon Valley remains one of the funniest, darkest, smartest shows about the attraction, and limitations, of the American Dream, but by resetting itself, it also manages to stay strangely gripping.

    Pick a character--the laughs are there. Maybe this season we should give more credit to the intricate plotting. But no matter your preference, Silicon Valley is back and the world has once again been made right, at least for the moment.

    It’s been a subculture critique of a decidedly hilarious sort. That hasn’t changed for its fourth season, which once again locates the dark, ridiculous heart of the tech industry through the saga of its clownish wannabe-moguls.
