      2016 Crime Drama Mystery & Thriller List
      36% 14 Reviews Tomatometer 86% 250+ Ratings Audience Score This gritty drama follows unlikely tech entrepreneurs behind a brilliant idea, and a powerful FBI agent ("Sherlock" star Martin Freeman) who can make or break those he comes in contact with -- not always for the right reasons. Set in Miami, Izzy Morales creates a revolutionary, unregulated digital currency called GenCoin. A young banker named Andy decides to partner with Izzy, infusing the project with cash that Andy's father is desperate to conceal. The trio ends up on the radar of FBI Financial Crimes Agent Phil Rask, who is on Andy's trail. Read More Read Less Watch on Fandango at Home Premiered Jul 12 Buy Now

      Ian C Hard to watch a show when every single character deserves to die as soon as possible. The writing is bizarre and choices made by characters are mostly really dumb, existing only to enable the awful story. Adam Brody's character is utterly unwatchable. I gave it 5 episodes of my time and I'm done. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/24 Full Review FD D Love it ! It's building into something amazing in season 1 Season 2 was epic - nick plays the hopeless leader , Ronnie stays edgy all along Ron as usual has that mega rich but dangerous vibe . Season 3 is slower but still. No idea how it didn't get a season 4 or higher ratings This is such a great show ❤️ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Początek nawet ok, ale cokolwiek w miarę ciekawego jest co jakieś 4 odcinki. Takie sobie postacie. Nie wciąga Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This is definitely the best series I've ever seen! I'm anxiously waiting for Season 4! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Edi Gathegi and Adam Brody are great! Binge worthy show! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review morgan l A bit like a minor GTA 5 plot line, soft porn that includes hobbit doing a bad American accent. Includes racist stereotypes and misogyny but the characters are so jarring that's not the worst of it. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Jen Chaney New York Magazine/Vulture Despite strong work by its actors, StartUp is just another exploration of underground crime and shady dealings that we've seen a thousand times before on film and television. Aug 27, 2019 Full Review Allison Keene Collider Its first few episodes set up a complicated plot that, if it can break free from convention and its clunky dialogue, might be worth investing in. Rated: 2/5 Sep 16, 2016 Full Review Isaac Feldberg Boston Globe There are also far too many shows like StartUp... that echo elements of past TV hits, from the heat-wave setting of Burn Notice to the moral opacity of The Shield, without... offering any sense of creative independence or innovation. Sep 6, 2016 Full Review Dominic Patten Deadline Hollywood Daily The drama is not a venture I recommend you invest in. Aug 27, 2019 Full Review Roger Catlin rogercatlin.com [It] is kind of a mess. Sep 6, 2016 Full Review Ken Tucker Yahoo! TV In the show's first episode, every major character is shown in a gratuitous sex scene, as though the idea was, well, if the viewers don't buy this GenCoin thing, maybe they'll stick around for the sex. We'll see how that pays off for StartUp. Sep 6, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews
