That was an excellent one.

Excellent but underrated film

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

When I searched for shows similar to Silicon Valley, this one popped up as a match. The rest is history. This weakly made TV series is no way comparable to Silicon Valley. The acting were poor (lame, perhaps), the story was weak, everything seems not to work. This TV series is a complete and utter disappointment.

I just binged the first season of this show and I am so disappointed that it got cancelled! This show is hilarious! If you like Silicon Valley, check this out, it was made shortly before Silicon Valley came out... I watch silicon valley too and enjoy it as well, but somehow I felt more emotionally invested in the characters here. After watching the first season of this, I found myself rooting for this startup and wanting their app to succeed, they actually have an inspiring idea.This show seems more thought out, and has better writing and acting to be honest. The characters seem more believable, the app they have seems more real, I feel like I know a number of real people from that show, and having seen some of the same situations working in tech startups in silicon valley, this feels more authentic. Somehow Silicon Valley feels more like a Hollywood version of a startup story, whereas Betas feels like it was written by somebody who has experienced it.Amazon, please bring this show back for a second season! This is my favorite show on Amazon Prime Video...

First let me preface by saying I've been working in web development for a long time. A very long time. And as much as one might think that this show is kitschy and cute, that's true, but if you pay attention they get a lot of the jargon right and capture the spirit of what happens when people are trying to get a new technology idea off the ground.The research, brainstorming to think of something unique, then trying to find some way to make it into a unique app that will scratch that "itch" and will make users choose you over everyone else, it's all here. Why they canceled this show is beyond me. Silicon Valley is similar but takes a more antagonistic approach. Start-Ups: Silicon Valley was okay but the producers of that reality show decided to choose the most a-typical startups imaginable.If you want to see a fun version of what's happening in the startup culture of SF these days, this is the show to watch.

I really had high hopes for Betas; it was a great concept, and as a Silicon Valley (now Silicon Forest transplant) type guy, I wanted a show that showed me what I lived through during the height of the tech boom.Started out strong, but it just devolved into "kitschy" crap to be honest. There are 4 guys on the show, and 2 women as regulars. The women are treated as nothing but sex objects. One is a love interest for the male lead, and the other is there to basically titillate the sex-started male actors - whether it's her talking about her bisexual phase or letting guys take pictures of her in her underwear. Seriously? There are female engineers that could kick some ass - but of course that's not the type of story that Betas want to do.Also, there's the subtle homophobia, from Hobbes hooking up with his ex wife and screaming - twice, "Stay out of my ass!" to Stuart's saying that he was basically so horned up for sex that he "put up with ass play".We get it - you're straight.So while I watched the first couple of episodes, and held high hopes, all of those were dashed. Too bad; good concept, but oh well.
