Partially inspired by co-creator Mike Judge's experiences as a Silicon Valley engineer in the 1980s, this comedy series follows the misadventures of introverted computer programmer Richard and his brainy friends as they attempt to strike it rich in a high-tech gold rush. They live together in a Bay Area startup incubator loosely run by self-satisfied dot-com millionaire Erlich, who lets them stay in his house rent-free in exchange for a stake in the projects they invent there. But when Richard develops a powerful search algorithm at his day job, he finds himself caught in the middle of a bidding war between his boss -- whose firm offers Richard an eight-figure buyout -- and a deep-pocketed venture capitalist.

Rated: A- May 31, 2018 Full Review Silicon Valley: Season 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Allison Keene Collider It's a series that, for the third season in a row, finds power in juxtapositions, and crafts its satire easily by exposing the absurd in sharp relief to the ordinary. Rated: 5/5 May 31, 2018 Full Review Silicon Valley: Season 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Inkoo Kang MTV The show's as droll as ever, with Miller as as the comic standout.

Rated: 4/4 Oct 10, 2018 Full Review Silicon Valley: Season 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Brian Grubb Uproxx The trick here will be the payoff, which is something Silicon Valley has been almost unreasonably good at so far.
