Watchseries; I usually don't write reviews but felt compelled to write one for this show after seeing such high ratings. The show started off well but fell off the cliff after the first few episodes. It tries too hard to be edgy with some technical buzz words and shockers here and there. However, it does not redeem the lackluster acting (except a couple) and the lazy writing. It felt too dragged out.

StartUp watchseries. While I do like this show, it kind of falls flat based on the fact that the creators seem to know nothing about IT nor any legal stuff. Big time investors putting in a lot of money by just handing it over with no apparent paperwork, running some huge server park (apparently consisting mostly of network gear) in your garage for some unknown reason, code reviews of something that is supposed to be ground breaking is done during a coffee break etc. The list goes on and on unfortunately.
This rate is related to Ronald and only Ronald, a great actor and speaker.
Wow! This show is so amazingly good! I wish more people new about it. If it was on a well-known cable channel tons of people would be talking about it. I really like the grittiness of it and how they show the juxtaposition of cultures/rich/poor all within Miami.
The casting is great. Martin Freeman is like nothing I've ever seen him in before. In fact, he creeped me out a lot and normally Martin plays the kind of guy that is so likable. Just the small looks he gives, like when a one night stand told him she didn't want the breakfast he made special for her. I was waiting for him to lash out at her. He didn't have to say a word, but you could see the heat in his eyes calling her many vulgar names.
Edi Gathegi. What an actor! He gave such a commanding performance and I couldn't take my eyes off of him whenever he was on the screen.
The story kept me wanting more. I watched 9/10 episodes in one day and it has been a long time since I've found a TV show that I've wanted to binge. I don't want to have to wait for season 2. Oh man, I hope there will be a season 2! I also loved that I could watch the series on my TV through Xfinity On Demand. I will be spreading the word about the show. So many people would love it.
I'm going to finish watching this series because there is enough to keep me interested, but there are sooo many weaknesses in the overall story, like absurd plot points and ridiculous character actions which don't consider obvious consequences, making them seem outright stupid and naive, while at the same time trying to portray them as intelligent, innovative and creative. The inconsistencies are maddening. How can the producers, directors and writers not see that? This show could have been so much better.
If you like Billions, Ozark and Silicon Valley you will most likely love this one. For some reason this series is very little promoted and it seem like lots of people doesn't know about it (I stumbled on it). Well, I guess its because its not a Netflix or HBO production...
Watch it!
