Assuming we’re in the trust tree, I have something to admit: I’m new to the Silicon Valley hype train, as I’ve only consumed the show through binge watching. So when the show returns for its fifth season in late March, it will be my first watching live with the rest of you.
While fans are worried about how the show will carry on with TJ Miller’s Erlich Bachman character, I’ve always argued that the show’s comedic high points are situational: Richard’s awkwardness, Gilfoyle’s dry humor, Dinesh’s misplaced arrogance, etc. Sure, Erlich was a funny character in doses, but he was by no means carrying the show.
So as long as Gilfoyle is still being a dick and Richard still a weirdo, I have a feeling that Silicon Valley will turn out just fine, as it has and then some for the past five season.
