12 April 2017 TV Shows To Watch Instead Of Game Of Thrones

5. Silicon Valley - Season 4

Silicon Valley
HBO

Heading into its fourth season, Silicon Valley is better than ever. The show has continued to go from strength-to-strength, and now stands as one of the funniest and smartest sitcoms anywhere on television.

The third season ended with the Pied Piper team in a rather unique position: they'd just got a major win. Naturally, then, Season 4 will need to tear all of that apart.

It'll see Richard decide that he's quitting the team - just as the rest of them (well, not Jared) were about to push him overboard anyway. From there, he'll enter into a new business venture, which is essentially a criminal organisation.

As ever, there'll be a dizzying array of put-downs, setbacks, satire, and Elrich's ever-mystifying facial hair.

Premiere Date: April 23
