Silicon Valley was an underachieving mediocre show

You have an abundance of source material, on a network you can do anything on, and the end result was complete mediocrity.
A couple memes here or there. That’s it. That’s all anyone remember. The show never really figured out whether it was a comedy, faux documentary, drama, or anything. Very underwhelming. I think the lead,the annoying guy from the phone commercials,just sucked all the comedy potential out of it

It lost a it of steam when Erlich left, but I thought it was pretty consistently funny. Above average for sure.

It was a good show overall, but kind of frustrating because every single season they would follow the same formula. Every great idea works and then the whole thing craters, over and over. I get that it’s a comedy, but come on, man… let these guys get a win now and then.

Best character on the show

I watched the first couple of episodes a few years ago and just couldn't get into it. I might try it again at some point.

The formula might have gotten stale but I couldn’t breathe the first time I watched the middle out scene.
Let Blaine die SWOT was hilarious
You say “a few memes” but these are all memorable and hilarious especially in an age where comedy is pretty meh overall

There are a lot of great jokes and some hilarious scenes, some even iconic (Mean Jerk Time, Erlich slapping the kids, the VC meetings, etc), but the plot was repetitive and formulaic. It had the potential to rank up at the top of HBO's original series, but it just never got there.

I loved the first 3 seasons, even though the entire show was a giant edging experience where shite went wrong right when they were about to finally experience success.
It lost it's "Mike Judge-ness" over time, but it had some excellent characters and hilarious dialogue.

SV is one of those shows that was good, had RIDICULOUS Highs. Like some of the funniest gags or episodes of any TV show ever.
But it also kept doing the same thing each season, was stale at times and couldn't figure out what direction they wanted to go.
It needed to change each year. Make them ultra successful and see what they become, etc
But still, funny, worthwhile show

I enjoyed the show but seemed like every season was the same story but just enough changes were made to keep it "fresh" I think they got kinda stuck writing wise and I'm glad they ended when they did. It's still a fun watch and there are some great episodes but I often think "what if" when really breaking down the show.

The show wasn’t the same when T.J. Miller left. Seasons 1-4 were excellent though.

It was a comedy and never really strayed from that...

I feel like most shows lose steam.
Its prob more rare they are amazing all the way through.
Unless they just do a 1-2 season thing. But even like a True Detective was bad in season 2.

The OP is very correct.
This show’s plot was on a treadmill, big time.
Pied Piper needs an investor! It’s got an investor! It’s lost it’s investor. It needs a NEW investor…
shite got old.

Wow, what a terrible take.

It was genius for a few seasons. Went limp toward the end. But when it was good it was great. Gilfoyle was one of the greatest characters ever. Very funny but not a comedy sketch stereotype character.
