Warning: Full spoilers for the Silicon Valley: Season 4 finale below.
There’s a certain destructive pathos that comes with the male-heavy tech culture of Silicon Valley. I’m talking about the actual place, not the Mike Judge-created series - at least for the moment. Over the past few weeks, we’ve bore witness to the fall of controversial Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, and I mention this as a mere example of the sort of balls-to-the-wall hubris many think tanks, start-ups and the like, regularly fall victim to in the often oddball San Francisco tech world the HBO comedy series parodies so well.
As Silicon Valley ended its fourth season, it’s hard not to acknowledge the proverbial mirror the series has continually held up to real life. (Seriously, I used to work at MySpace back in the day -- I kind of feel like I’ve lived this story.) As Gavin Belson (Matt Ross) took a short-lived sabbatical from the story, followed by TJ Miller’s permanent exit -- taking fan favorite Erlich Bachman out of the equation -- it’s no surprise that Pied Piper’s awkward, reluctant leader, Richard Hendricks (Thomas Middleditch), finally took a dark turn and, dare I say, broke bad.
