<\/p>\nPied Piper is dying and Richard is making things worse.\u00a0 The Season 4 premiere kicks off with Richard faking an Uber, in order to hopefully snag some funding for \u201cPiper Chat,\u201d the video chat created by Dinesh which is the only thing keeping Pied Piper afloat.\u00a0 But here\u2019s the problem: Richard\u2019s heart isn\u2019t in it anymore.<\/p>\n
The show\u2019s still just as funny as it\u2019s always been: Erlich (TJ Miller) and Jared (Zach Woods) steal every scene, like they always do. But things are very different now: Dinesh and Richard are fighting, Erlich is struggling when Big Head\u2019s dad becomes a road block in his Bachmanity venture, Monica\u2019s new office has a clear view of the men\u2019s bathroom, and Richard is leaving Pied Piper, and he\u2019s taking the name with him. \u00a0 The whole thing is, unfortunately, a downer, but an interesting downer.<\/p>\n
Silicon Valley <\/i>is entering new ground.\u00a0 With the backing of the least respectable billionaire in the industry, Russ Hannigan, Richard embarks on a mission to build a new internet. \u00a0But nothing new is learned that we don’t know from the trailer, with a few exceptions. \u00a0It’s a bit underwhelming. \u00a0Thankfully,\u00a0Silicon Valley <\/i>hasn\u2019t loss what it has always been about: an average guy trying to help the world. \u00a0And that’s its saving grace.<\/p>\n
Richard is full of big ideas, and we\u2019re still rooting for him, despite his most recent failures.\u00a0 Maybe Richard will build a new internet.\u00a0 Maybe he\u2019ll fail even harder than we\u2019ve already seen.\u00a0 Either way, the Season 4 premiere paves new ground for the show.\u00a0 It\u2019s different, but that\u2019s not necessarily a bad thing. \u00a0At the very least, let’s handle the change better than Jared.<\/p>\n
Jared: \u201cI think I need to leave, but I love you guys.\u201d
\nErlich: \u201cYou know what we desperately need is a palapa.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jared giving Richard a manicure in order to repair Richard\u2019s cuticles.\u00a0 When asked how he learned it, Jared responds, \u201cWhen I was on the street, it was a means of survival.\u201d<\/p>\n
