Here’s how you can watch Silicon Valley’s season 5 premiere online or the old-fashioned way right on your television.
Mike Judge’s Silicon Valley returns to HBO with its season 5 premiere tonight at 10:00 p.m. ET. You can catch the show’s epic return online on HBO Now, Direct TV (subscribers only), or shortly after its live air time on HBO Go. Tonight’s episode is titled “Grow Fast or Die Slow” and is directed by legendary series co-creator Judge. It’s written by long-time series writer Ron Weiner, previously known for Futurama, NewsRadio, Arrested Development, and 30 Rock.
Last season saw ratings drop off a bit with speculation that losing Game of Thrones as a lead-in was responsible, according to TVByTheNumbers. However, Judge is an absolute genius and will surely turn the clock back on the series’ numbers.
Practically everything the man creates turns to gold with his unparalleled sense for comedy. Always hundreds of steps beyond his contemporaries, Judge’s Beavis and Butt-Head advanced adult humor in cartoons to the mainstream, pushing the envelope that paved the way for South Park among preexisting properties like The Simpsons to have more creative freedom. His films from Office Space to Idiocracy are referenced on a minute by minute basis across the internet to this very day. If there’s anyone that can bring Silicon Valley back to its earlier 2-plus million viewers, it’s Judge.
