Full spoilers for the episode to follow.
The season finale of Silicon Valley manages to bring together all of the show’s greatest attributes – crass dick jokes, satire, and awkward characters – in one satisfying and surprisingly heartwarming capper. The episode picks up right where the last left off; the gang is reeling from the brawl during their TechCrunch Disrupt presentation, a disaster that is made worse when Gavin Belson’s presentation for Nucleus blows Pied Piper out of the water.
With PP seemingly dead, Monica is called back to Paolo Alto while the rest of the crew struggles to figure out their fading futures. The only thing about this episode that didn’t work was the romantic awkwardness between Monica and Richard. While there have been hints that the show would head in that direction at some point, there’s no real chemistry between the characters or any legitimate attraction beyond the writers’ desire to wedge in a love angle of some kind. Thankfully, this only takes up one scene, and the episode’s problems end there.
