Erlich’s absence lets Richard’s emerging dark side become more of a central focus for the series. For years, Silicon Valley seemed almost afraid of having Richard succeed, throwing narrative roadblocks in his way to stop him from becoming an all-powerful CEO and to perhaps maintain dramatic tension. The blundering Erlich helped the series in that regard, but now Richard gets to be his own worst enemy. If Season 5’s first episode is any indication, Silicon Valley will be more exciting--and painfully realistic--this way.
-
Every season of Silicon Valley isn’t just a new season of television. It’s more like a very smartly designed software upgrade. What does feel somewhat different is the show’s attempt to more directly confront issues of inclusion.
-
The series is still capable of extracting gut-busting comedy out of its characters' desperate striving for their piece of the pie.
-
A lot of what’s happening in Season 5 feels like old hat.
