Silicon Valley season five TV billboards...

In these days of Russian bots and troll factories, Trump's consultants Cambridge Analytica harvesting Facebook data illegally and weaponising it to affect election results and the end of net neutrality, it's not the best time to be living or working in the world of social networks, consumer apps and tech startups.

Now that T.J. Miller has logged off from the HBO comedy, Silicon Valley is rebooting for its fifth season to continue to explore the darker, satirical side of the tech industry.

Thomas Middleditch, Kumail Nanjiani, Zach Woods and Martin Starr return to bring the laughs, maybe some romance and to examine sexism and the gender disparity in the real world Silicon Valley.

These inspired season five 'buffering' billboards were snapped along the Sunset Strip and La Cienega Boulevard from March 4 to March 6, 2018.

Fans of the show can also check out these previous season promo billboards for Silicon Valley from 2014 to date, whilst for more of Oscar-nominated Kumail Nanjiani be sure to check out these movie billboards for The Big Sick.

Only time will tell if Silicon Valley still has the winning algorithm and whether its upgrades will lead to another season of hilarity and satirical observations.

UPDATED: Here's also a review-laden Emmy consideration billboard for the 'Hilarious' fifth season, spotted along Sunset Boulevard on June 6, 2018.

UPDATED: Congratulations to Silicon Valley for nabbing seven Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Comedy Series. This Emmy nominee billboard for the fifth season was spotted along Melrose Avenue at La Brea Avenue on August 15, 2018.

UPDATED: Sadly no Emmy wins for the fifth season, but maybe this 'For your consideration' billboard spotted above Robertson Boulevard on November 12, 2018, will help the comedy garner some Golden Globe or SAG Award nominations this awards season.

Here's also another ad format example spied along Santa Monica Boulevard on November 14, 2018.
