Review of StartUp

StartUp (2016–2018)
5/10
Could be Great IF The Computer Tech Details & Hacker Acting weren't so RIDICULOUS
19 May 2021
The Good: The show has a TON of serious potential . Brody and the Haiti angle/acting are SUPERB... The FBI angle is solid.

The Bad: The girl playing the "Tech Genius" is a complete miss-cast and the technical details which one would expect to be more solid in a show centered around Crypto is complete garbage...

The scene where they get hacked and she is sending Brody to all the houses to shutdown wifi/computers etc... was absolutely ridiculous and 1000% un-necessary.

Need better writing in the tech department. Maybe as a senior software developer who actually knows how this stuff really works i'm asking for too much but seriously this is way off... The personality portrayed of the people with the skillsets to actually pull this stuff off is just way off base and way overboard.

I will give it a few more episodes to see if the show figures out what's working vs what's not working but.
