StartUp Season 1

StartUp Season 1 has quietly become one of the more dependable crime dramas currently available on and . A compact run that never overstays its welcome. Its 7/10 TMDB score, built from 265 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Adam Brody anchors it, but the writing does the real work. Available now — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

StartUp Season 1 is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. At its heart, StartUp Season 1 understands what makes crime drama work — character first, plot second. Forced to fund a tech company with dirty money from unsuspecting places while forming ties with a dangerous Haitian gang, the fight to build a business pales in comparison to the fight to stay alive, especially when there's a vehement FBI agent who wields the power to make or break those he comes in contact with—and not always for the right reasons Adam Brody and Edi Gathegi lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2016. StartUp Season 1 is at its best in the quiet scenes between the plot beats, where the character work actually happens. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Crime and mystery fans will find exactly what they are after in StartUp Season 1. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Adam Brody anchors it, but the writing does the real work. If you are going to commit to one crime drama this month, make it this one.
