Silicon Valley - The Complete Fourth Season

Spending too much time on your phone? Lost in the time-suck of social media? You should pick up a more productive addiction, like "Silicon Valley" - the show that satirizes the human hang-ups behind our cherished technology. In the Complete Fourth Season of this twisty comedy, you can learn new trends in innovation, the ins and outs of corporate law, and even grammar essentials... such as the proper way to pluralize "hard-on."

Richard Hendricks (Thomas Middleditch) revolutionized the tech world with his high-speed compression algorithm - unfortunately, he can't implement it. Innovation has been halted by the tenacious monopoly Hooli (a not-so-subtle send-up of Google).

Undaunted, Richard's pals, Dinesh (Kumail Nanjiani), Erlich (T.J. Miller), Gilfoyle (Martin Starr) and Jared (Zach Woods) use this equation to create the world's best video-chat app - until Hooli finds a way to take that from them, too.

But Richard was never really behind video chat anyway. He wants to focus his efforts on something bigger. He wants to decentralize the Internet and effectively destroy the axis of power.

Meanwhile, Big Head (Josh Brener), realizing he's incapable of doing anything practical with his education, decides to go back to school. Incapable of getting admitted into the program - the competition is just too steep - he is somehow more than qualified to teach.

And Monica, attempting to take down her chauvinist counterpart and Reviga Capital only ends up getting him promoted.

As the guys work to create the "next big thing" - traversing from video chat to mobile food identification and eventually the world's best software for discovering dick pics - Richard sets out to pursue his dream, knowing the only way to accomplish this is to get in bed with his arch enemy, the megalomaniac Hooli CEO Gavin Belson (Matt Ross).

Mike Judge and Alec Berg's Emmy-nominated series is as smart as ever in the fourth season, full of meteoric rises and catastrophic falls, nerdy neuroses and frat-guy frivolity. This Blu-ray brings together all ten episodes of the show and three never-before-seen deleted scenes.
