During its six-season run from 2014 to 2019, HBO's sitcom "Silicon Valley" was one of the most popular shows on the network. Season 2 won two Primetime Emmy awards, and the series launched the careers of comedians Kumail Nanjiani and Jimmy O. Yang, who have since gone on to star in major Hollywood movies like "The Big Sick" and "Crazy, Rich, Asians," respectively. Some of the other cast members in "Silicon Valley" include T.J. Miller (for four seasons), Thomas Middleditch, Martin Starr, and Amanda Crew.
The show revolves around a group of tech engineers and coders living in Palo Alto, California — Silicon Valley. At the start, the main protagonist Richard Hendricks (Middleditch) is an employee at the new tech company Hooli (a loose parody of Google), until he develops an amazing new compression algorithm he terms "middle-out", which revolutionizes the tech world when he unveils it at the end of Season 1. For the rest of the show, Richard and his team, Bertram Gilfoyle (Starr), Dinesh Chugtai (Nanjiani), and Donald "Jared" Dunn (Zach Woods), struggle to navigate the increasingly changing tech world while trying to build their new company, Pied Piper.
The series does an excellent job of balancing nuanced tech jokes with mainstream comedy, making "Silicon Valley" accessible to a very wide audience. We've sifted through the 50+ episodes of the series to determine the 15 best episodes of "Silicon Valley," ranked.
