Don't sleep on StartUp. Before I speak on the show itself, let me say that all ten episodes are out now. IMDb shows one as being available, this is incorrect, so there's no need to wait. Also, I feel strongly that people must support Crackle in their endeavor to offer 100% free, original content. Yes there are commercials but only a few and they're only 1:30 long. I imagine that with the high production value and the superb acting talent that StartUp cost a small fortune to produce so if there aren't enough eyeballs on this, there won't be a season two or any other shows on the way. Recently Hulu announced they were stepping away from free accounts so please support what Crackle is trying to do here. On to the review. The acting is tremendous and engaging, no weak spots there. What really stands out here is the plot. Digital currency seems to be our future (whether five years down the road or 20) for many of the reasons specified in StartUp. This is the first series I have seen that focuses on that so the content is fresh. Lastly, Miami plays a powerful role in the series. It's capability of showing something beautiful one moment followed by something dark and ugly the next is unique and StartUp capitalizes on it.
