"Season 1 review: Ketai has the right headspace, but can't quite make his ambitious vision jell in StartUp."

—

We Got This Covered

"Season 1 review: Stands a chance of being a decent crime series."

—

IGN

"Season 1 review: It seems clear that Start Up wants to be a kind of Mr. Robot, but in the attempt reveals that the USA show's success isn't about a collection of buzzwords but about vision and style."

—

Variety

"Season 1 review: Never seems innovative, only imitative."

—

The New York Times

"Season 1 review: As the show focuses more on the strength of its breakneck storytelling, it's becoming not just the best reason to try Crackle, but one of the more promising new streaming series of the year."

—

A.V. Club

"Season 1 review: 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."

—

Collider

"Season 1 review: Just another exploration of underground crime and shady dealings that we've seen a thousand times before..."

—

Vulture

"Season 1 review: Freeman, though, is something to see (especially for fans), and there are just enough memorable moments to keep "StartUp" out of the red."

—

IndieWire

"Season 1 review: 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."
