	Media	Author	Review
		Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"It never seems innovative, only imitative. The casting, however, is refreshing, even if the plot strains credulity."
		Sonia Saraiya Variety	"[The] moments of interest are sporadic. 'Startup' otherwise meanders forward with all the grace of a sex-starved teenage boy, skidding from the exotic to the illicit"
		Alex McLevy AV Club	"The series excels when it brings together its various subcultures via the unifying thread of its protagonists’ dream"
		Jen Chaney Vulture	"[Its grittiness] is gratuitous or seems to exist for its own sake (...) This show goes dark, frequently, but it never gets deep."
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"Sometimes it feels like it’s trying to hard to fit a predefined standard (...) Freeman, though, is something to see (...) and there are just enough memorable moments to keep 'StartUp' out of the red"
		Matt Fowler IGN	"[It] has teeth, patience, and promise, but it still feels slight (...) If it can keep the characters front and center and not fall back on the GenCoin gimmick too much, it stands a chance of being a decent crime series"
		Isaac Feldberg Boston Globe	"It’s the kind of series so slavishly devoted to its own aesthetic that it has no choice but to simplify and sometimes undercut the intriguing crypto-currency startup at its core."
