The Ending Of Silicon Valley Explained 

"Yes. I'm Errich Bachman. I can show you ID. That's my face. I was a-fat, but now, I'm a-not fat."

through it all, the one person who fared the best overall was Bighead. He never screwed over anyone, he was constantly taken advantage of, yet he constantly failed upward into a position of great esteem and prominence with seemingly no effort.

I love all the insane random history that Jared brings up about himself.

the dog analogy for Jared really connects the dots!

They should make a spin-off Office style with Dinesh Gilfoyle and John working at their cybersecurity jobs and their lives.

One of the best shows ever , you just feel home with them .

jared is so pure, thank you for explaining his motivations

Jeez this was such a good show. It became one of my all time favorites.

That dementia line from Jared in the documentary is heartbreaking in context. Big Head's absent-mindedness and forgetfulness throughout the show may have been signs of dementia all along.

i miss Errich, not the actor himself, but the character really sparks the show. thanks for noticing the drive!!! Didnt expect that coming

I felt the ending was fitting, Pied Piper is over, just like the show. It was time for everyone to move on to their own journey just like the viewers.

This is the first time a series finale doesn't breaks my heart. The ending was amazing. #AlwaysBlue

The ending was dark, depressing and yet beautiful and wholesome ❤️ Here's to one of the most underrated tv shows of all time 🥂

I so desperately want them to do an alternate ending where the original code goes out and they destroy the world. My life would be complete with both endings 💜

I don't think Gavin has changed. The man that interrupted Gavin's interview was Rod Morgenstern, the author which Gavin heavily plagiarized from when writing his first book. While Rod gets credited as a coauthor for any books he wrote with Gavin afterwards, Gavin still put himself in the spotlight and highlighted himself as a literary icon, not mentioning his partner. Rod is only shown to us as a shadowy backroom character that has no choice but to work with Gavin. Funny enough, they write "adult romance" - literature that's usually considered trashy in the literary world, more focused on achieving bestseller status (something that Gavin likes to highlight) rather than literary merit. Gavin's need of inflating his self importance has not gone away.

A fisherman is less likely to eat the fish he has caught if it has been tagged.

This ending mirrors life. Not all champions claim their prize.

I think the ending made a lot of sense in the current landscape. In the last couple of years we've been asking ourselves what powers "big tech" has and when it's too much. The era of big tech just being the cool/rich kids has evolved and we're starting to ask ourselves "why" rather than just "what" we're building. In this sense, having this notion be the final "challenge" for the Pied Piper team was very relevant. Big tech always has been romanticized (similar to how it was at the beginning of the series), but look also at how polarizing companies like Facebook or Amazon have gotten in recent years.

I want to see a movie where John McAfee and James Norton both build fortresses using their knowledge of security systems and try to kill each other in Fortnite.

i was lost when you said "he is the human version of a dog" LMFAO.

'Jared was state raised' yes, and I have been told he isn't afraid to catch a case on some bullshit.

I want to watch an alternate series in which Richard will accept 10 million from gavin

This is not a fairytale movies like marvel where you get happy ending this is more realistic and real good ending

This is just a phenomenal bit of analysis. I have a bad habit of never analysing comedy shows and just taking them at face value. The amount of callbacks and the commitment to even the tiniest character details is nothing short of astounding. Incredible job. Subscribed!

Richard meant Big Head as his best friend who gave him the ethics position at Stanford, not Gavin B.

Agreed, truly underrated show , one of HBO standouts

What's crazy is that this was foreshadowed by Gilfoyle with his fear of Fiona and her advanced AI

The ending of Silicon Valley made this Series just amazing. they saved world from judgement day

Jared and Hoover(Gavin Beleon’s personal security) emanate a lot of dog vibe energy

One of the best shows that I watched I rate 10/10

I watched all the episodes, then learned Python, C#, C, C++, Java, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Kotlin, SQL and watched again. Don't regret a second :)

The more I think about the Silicon Valley ending, the more I feel it’s one of the darkest endings I ever saw on tv. There is still plenty to explore. And I hope one day they reboot the series and pick up where they stopped.

This is one of the greatest and underrated shows I’ve ever seen,

Having grown up in Silicon Valley (San Jose), with all of my family and friends' in tech, and then moving to the central valley, and later to southern california - it's like three entirely different countries.

I just finished this show 20 minutes ago and this is now recommended? Creepy

I love how in the end, they truly made the world a better place.

I literally got emotional watching the last episode. both for all kinds of career-related reasons to what was going on in the show, and for the show coming to an end.

I understood the ending pretty well, but still learned some stuff from this. Great job! I binged the show and finished in 2 weeks. It’s now added as my 2nd favorite show ever, behind HIMYM.

He also gives up his company to go back to college like he was warned not too in the first season

Damn, great analysis on Jared.. Didn't think of his childhood and love to protect and gwart. He's my favorite character but I never put to much thought into it

This video just reminds me how perfect Jared is and how he’s way too good for this world

Great video! Thanks for making it

I just wanna say thank you, I'd been waiting for a season 7 for the longest time (since season 6 ended) but never knew it ended I was pleased with the season ending but watching the 10 years Later totally satisfied... Amazing Vid, Definitely Got My Thumbs Up & Now Subscribed

Love this breakdown. I've subbed and will watch more

That was a great assessment of Silicon Valley's ending. Thank you!

Very well put together. Thank you

Love it. Thank you so much for this video 🙏.

Damn you did a really good job of breaking things down here!

Thank You for the video. Great work!

You're mistaken at 9:00. Gavin and Richard are not best friends. The role is named after Gavin Belson, but Richard was hired by Bighetti-his boss at Stanford.

"Always Blue"

Excellent summary and commentary!

thanks for making this!

Can't stress more on the last line. This show is a gem.

Great video! I would add that the only sad thing in this ending is the fact, that Richard ended up representing an idea that Gavin Belson created, and as we know Richard has always put his honor first. That is a tragedy for such person. Also an obvious thing: Gavin doesn't create things himself. That is why he has a ghost writer (Belson's not a "good author" definitely). I'm pretty sure they're not friends with Hendricks, since Gavin hasn't changed at all and that "friend" that got Richard a job might actually be Big Head.

This IS one of the greatest comedies ever made.

The S6•E7 episode made me very emotional.

I don't watch many shows, but I always make time to check out anything Mike Judge does... so glad I watched this show, just outstanding.

Great analysis!

A very heartfelt and deep analysis of the finale. Well done! I wish the ending might leave a gateway open for a movie down the line. Anything to bring back the best show I've ever had the pleasure of watching. Funny, thoughtful/ deep, and about tech. There's nothing else I could have wished for in a show 💗💓💞

great analysis thanks!

I personally think they should have just used their algorithm to create even stronger encryption that it can't break itself.

Nicely Done!!!!

man i love your channel

the bill gates part is exceedingly creepy how he smiles and refers to the implications brought on by Event 201

Thank you for explaining..

Wasn't expecting this, but I'm glad you made it. Fantastic show.

What a ride amazing series! ❤️

Any shows similar to Silicon Valley? I just finished watching Silicon Valley and now I feel so empty.

That's why the first names I check in a TV show are the writers', the entire plot is brilliant.

great analysis

Flawless series. One of the best things I’ve ever devoted time to. The end is poetic.

amazing review m8! I too agree that SV is one of the funniest, most intelligent comedies ever made

Nice explained!!

“In the dock-you-men-terry”

I want to see Erlic storm Jin Yang's compound all American style yelling Jin yang as he is the master of sudelty

I'm obsessed by the way they have a game with that yellow-blue ball. They play with the ball while saying "always blue" with a cheerful tone. It means that even though everything they pursue could end up with absolutely disappointing and depressing results (blue), they remain completely ok after all

in season one, when they present at techcrunch & win, a guy calls someone & says that Pied Piper ran a 2 min mile. In season 6 when Richard is explaining that how they need to fail miserably, he references to the guy breaking 4 min mile so that no one ever attempts to run under 4 min.

That was insightful and helpful, especially for understanding Jared. SV is definitely the best tech comedy of all time. I will miss it. They did leave the door open for a reboot, however, because -- as Bill Gates said -- "something doesn't add up."

Great work man.. how do u know such details ..it's as if you are from the crew of writing team

Gavin Belson is still rehashing the other authors work that we see from the techics meeting, the author just realized he’d be more profitable if he made a deal with Gavin and let him steal from him. Still the aweful Gavin we love ❤️

I really really miss this show, I really wish there was a season 7, 8, 9 etc. After watching this video, I'm currently watching this series again.

Good series, good explanation.

Great characters. Great show. Just finished re-watching and sad that we won't get any more (probably).

Jared is one of my favorite characters of all-time.

I thought Richard taught in University was referring to the season one conversation that said his might went back to college and eventually got him the opportunity to get on this journey.

It would've been more fun if they actually released their skynet network and show how 10 years later they use their tech to fight terminators and survive lol

I think Monica stole the thumb drive and brought it to NSA.

So Richard and crew walked away from billions upon realizing they'd effectively created 'SkyNet'. I imagine the line of SV Billionaire 'philanthropist's, who'd have taken the money - 'let the buyer beware, it's just business' - would wrap around the globe.

0:00 lucky for me I binged it all with my dad in 4 nights

I just literally finished the whole season 1 to season 6 of Silicon Valley for the third time

Jared chasing Richard was the funniest thing I had ever seen.

I liked the way you explained it.

i started watching this after i saw a post in Instagram where gilfoyle ask '''are u a bartender '' to richard's girlfriend , but now i have seen the series 3 times and i cry at the ending scene where they go to erlic's incubator. i hope the series was long

They could've still made millions if not billion solely on base of their compression algo, why didn't they decided to work on that? The compression algo was proven to work as well so people would actually buy it from them, ending was lame IMO they could've done a lot more...

That was a very cool explanation. And Yes, I agree it was one of the best comedies ever made, ... so far

"Jared is the human version of a dog." This is my favorite Jared analogy ever.

Season six Jin yang shit talking Ehrlich was some of the funniest shit I have ever seen 😂

awesome!

As a person venturing into this world I shall heed this show to my heart
