Silicon Valley

If you are after a comedy that actually makes you laugh out loud, Silicon Valley is available in Australia on Foxtel Now and HBO Max, and in the US on HBO Max Amazon Channel and YouTube TV right now. 6 seasons of it means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. An 8/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Thomas Middleditch's performance alone is worth the time investment. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Foxtel Now.

There is a reason Silicon Valley keeps coming up in conversation. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate Silicon Valley from the crowd. In the high-tech gold rush of modern Silicon Valley, the people most qualified to succeed are the least capable of handling success. Partially inspired by Mike Judge’s own experiences as a Silicon Valley engineer in the late ‘80s, Silicon Valley is an American sitcom that centers around six programmers who are living together and trying to make it big in the Silicon Valley. Thomas Middleditch and Zach Woods lead a cast with the timing to make it work. The series ran for 6 seasons (2014–2019), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. What keeps Silicon Valley from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. The consistency throughout is what elevates it — not every moment is the best, but none of them are a reason to stop watching.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Silicon Valley is a strong candidate. Fans of The Larry Sanders Show will recognise the sensibility here immediately. The 6-season run rewards the patience it asks of you. Thomas Middleditch anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.

Silicon Valley wrapped up in 2019, created by Dave Krinsky, Mike Judge and John Altschuler — and 6 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
