For Silicon Valley, I want to agree and I do as far as the drop in quality and coherent storyline, but man that show kept delivering LOLs for me all the way.

Iâm not a superhero movie/show guy but I am two episodes into The Boys and itâs very good. Posting this for other non-superhero people. Itâs definitely worth a look.

Sure, the comedy never stopped. It was funny throughout, all the way to Bighead failing his way to become president of Stanford, but the main storyline could have easily ended much sooner, and there was for sure some padding in the last couple seasons.

I didnât even finish Silicon Valleyâ it got so insistent on immediately burning any plot idea it had in order to return to the status quo that it became a chore to watch. I made it through S4 but I was already tired of the repetitiveness at that point.

The problem is Netflix still pads out a ton of its shows then just cancels them all after two seasons anyway.

A friend of mine described what happened to the show as, basically, ââWill Pied Piper go under?â is the new âIs Vinny gonna do the movie?ââ

i think at the end of the next to last season, it literally closed on the last scene of the finale like they had made it and everything was gucci with new huge office and stuff of their own, and then like first ep of last season right back to it being fucked.

Well part of your problem there is you are watching it for the wrong stuff. Weâve gotten spoiled by series television that depicts lasting character growth from season to season. Shows like Silicon Valley are all about âwhat will make the boys start over at status quo this time?â
Sometimes the answer was ânothing at all!!!â and I choose to believe thatâs funny.

Alternately, after watching 16 hours of the same basic joke being told over and over, I finally admitted to myself that I was sick of it.

Well thatâs your second problem. A true fan would laugh at the same joke even when itâs no longer funny.

Damn, what an elegant summary of the problem with fandom culture.

Given it had the hands down, never to rivalled, impossible to comprehend, worst ending of any piece of fiction, in any genre or medium, of all time Iâm not super excited about the same people continuing the story.
Dexter ending made GoT look good.

Awesome. Glad you liked it.
I went in with zero expectations. Cam basically felt like a full-length version of a Black Mirror episode: it wasnât scary, but it did have interesting things to say about technology and the internet and porn and attention-seeking and whatnot. Lead actress put in a ton of work and did a solid job of it.

It really is a show where as long as you donât watch the last episode, youâll walk away thinking wow, a lot of ups and downs, but overall a great show. Iâve gone back and watched the first four seasons many many times. Theyâre so good and donât need any further seasons for a payoff and sense of resolution.
So hereâs hoping they learned their lessons. I think Michael C Hall has an amazing range and has killed it in role after role throughout his career, so if he says itâs fine to give this a shot, Iâm fine giving him a shot.
