WARNING, SPOILER BELOW.

His description omits one very Silicon Valley-like aspect to the series - this season closed with the principals jumping ship to form their own tiny firm, much like a startup. I found it very inspiring, you don't see a lot of small businesses or their origins depicted on TV.

The only other example I can think of from this year was when Michael Scott left his job on The Office. I was rooting for them to succeed and even relating to a lot of their hurdles, but then they got acquired by their old company and it was nothing more than a minor plot point for the season.
