Betas

Between the constant churn of new releases, Betas in the US on Amazon Prime Video, and in the UK on Amazon Prime Video is the comedy actually worth stopping for. The show says what it needs to say in a single season, no filler. 40 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Watch it for Joe Dinicol — stay for everyone else around them. Put it on tonight on Amazon Prime Video and see for yourself.

There is a reason Betas keeps coming up in conversation. Betas does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Four socially awkward friends in Silicon Valley try to launch a social networking app called 'BRB', which aims to connect people they should know, not just those they already do. The chemistry Joe Dinicol and Karan Soni bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. Betas premiered in 2013–2014. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Betas holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Betas. Fans of Silicon Valley will recognise the sensibility here immediately. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Joe Dinicol sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.

Betas was cancelled in 2014, created by Evan Endicott and Josh Stoddard — and 1 season is available to watch from start to finish.
