STARTUP

Startup ExcerptSeason 1, Episodes 7-10 – Prepare yourself for the exciting conclusion of Crackle and Ben Ketai’s sex, drugs and crypto-currency apps drama StartUp. Steer clear if you haven’t resolved the show, or if you’re just a masochist who likes to spoil plot twists for themselves.

Startup ExcerptSeason 1, Episodes 5-6 – StartUp finds itself pulled in two very different directions. On the one hand, as the show has gone on, it’s really ratcheted up the thrills, and it’s done that with a deft command of structure, pacing, and stakes. On the other hand, though these new hurdles are pretty fun to navigate as a fewer, they point to a more fundamental issue with the show: its reliance on crime show trappings.

Startup ExcerptSeason 1, Episodes 1-4 – In the first four episodes of StartUp, Nick Talman, Izzy Morales and Ronald Dacey found a startup company, the globalized digital currency app GenCoin, while their actions are monitored by morally murky federal agent Phil Rask.
