THERE'S A REASON Silicon Valley worked from the moment it premiered on HBO in 2014: It was only about the pursuit of tech greatness and never ever about icky stuff like office romances or boring backstories.The critically acclaimed comedy, which aired its finale Dec. 8, centers on programmer Richard Hendricks (Thomas Middleditch), who develops software featuring an unparalleled data compression algorithm and founds the startup company Pied Piper with an eccentric group of coders.

Until they didn't. And they did again. Until they didn't. (And so on.)
