'Silicon Valley' Season 6 Trailer Riffs on Facebook's Congressional Hearing
A new trailer for the sixth and final season of HBO's Silicon Valley has arrived and it appears to go straight to the heart of the biggest data scandal in social media. Watch above.
In the clip, Richard Hendricks (Thomas Middleditch) seems to be pulling a Zuckerberg. The one-minute-forty trailer sees him delivering answers on data privacy to Congress and doing so in a manner so awkward you can almost feel the cringe.
“He looks like a child in a messy custody hearing,” Martin Starr's character Gilfoyle summarizes while watching the messy Congressional hearing take place on TV.
Overall, the trailer doesn't give much away in terms of the next installment's general narrative, but it does include Richard promising to "end this tyranny by creating an internet of the people, by the people and for the people, so help me God."
Silicon Valley season six lands on HBO October 27.
