BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

shishirmns The storyline is great and characters are awesome too. Overall, LOVED THE SHOW :)

dangunnarsson-14421 First I want to say I understand why people like this show so much. It has it great moments. Building up tension, an unpredictable plot, good acting and a ok script. I was hooked by the first episodes. But then the interest faded. It was just something that didn't kept me hooked and in the end I had to struggle to make it trough the whole season 2. But at first I couldn't put my finger on what it was that I disliked. But the more I looked the more I realized different elements that bugged me. The pace is quite uneven and usually I like it when series or movies move slow and building character development, but in Startup it just annoyed me because sometimes it's just downright lousy character development that dosen't make you feel any more about the characters, it's just boring. In the end the only one I cared about was Ronald, Edi Gathegi does a marvelous job brining life to his character and I am really looking forward to see more of him. The plot is quite good and I was often exclaiming "oh did that just happened". But as the show progresses those moments gets fewer. The last thing that bugged me was all the sex scenes which just seemed unnecessary in a lot of cases and didn't bring anything to the plot. All in all it was a good show definitely worth seeing. Pros: good acting, interesting plot, great cinematography Cons: a lot of boring scenes, not so good character development and a lot of gratuitous sex scenes.I will begin to watch the third season but if it is more of the same Startup is going to have one less viewer.

PieRatedGFX The storyline to the show isn't anything genius nor is it too weak. It needed a very acting execution from it's cast to hold it all together and oh boy! They did hold together & then some! I'll be honest here, I have watched a few shows on crackle but didn't expect this! I stumbled upon the show from an IMDB recommendation. Do yourself a favour & don't read the reviews before you've watched it. Because some reviews are really strange & untrue! Like one I read right about now says this show is a *wannabe Mr. Robot*; which is ridiculous & completely unjustified. Both shows have no common grounds in terms of the storyline except they are happening in the current century. It's an EXCELLENT show. Excellent. Martin Freeman was phenomenal in the first season. Most part of the second season he did a *meh* job but the final quarter of the season! Top class. What makes this show stand out is the acting from pretty much everyone. Even the minor supporting roles too. I highly recommend the show to everyone! You won't be disappointed.

Carson Trent I watch quite a bit of TV series. This one makes some other top rated shows look like caricatures. It's gritty and smart in evoking the economic battle that's going on as we speak. Make no mistake, we are at war.Writing and pace are truly outstanding. Hell, it will keep you on the edge of the seat each episode. And no cheap thrills, either. It has flow. Realism. Logic. Cynicism. Hope. The characters are complex. They change. Evolve. They are alive. Acting is top notch. Especially Edi Gathegi and Martin Freeman. They are completely stealing the show. Miami is a character in this, too. It seems like an organism, and in many ways it is. It never looked so cold. As does the dog eat dog world of Tech and finance. I've so far seen the first 2 seasons. Can't wait to see what comes next. This is top level TV setting new standards. 10* out of 10.
