Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Perfect cast and a good story

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This show is a rare gem in the recent TV shows. From the beginning you might be put off by sci-fi's familiar theme of dark dystopia and big bad corporations, but please give it some time. I was hooked in just 3 minutes after the news says "Canada construct a new wall to stop illegal immigrants". See? There are so many small details you can find. It depicts a dark picture of future corporations run amok, and unfettered capitalism results in extreme polarization between rich and poor. It's a future that we don't want to have, but also possibly end up with.Although there are other shows having the same idea, but only "Incorporated" dares to go far. Not only it shows the dramatic difference between "Red Zone" and "Green Zone", but also different ways of thinking and surviving. In "Red Zone" you will see people fighting for scrubs, selling their own bodies and committing crimes to make ends meet; in "Green Zone" you will see people being afraid of losing their life style, stabbing other's back to get promotion, and the appalling methods of corporations use to maintain the order. In both zones there are no clear good guys or bad guys, only people struggle to survive their environment. All these make this show more believable than other Sci-Fi series.The acting is top-notch. Many emotions are expressed with subtle facial and short words. No drama queens, no over-acting. The main story surrounds a young couple which both have their secrets. The husband appears to be a loyal corporation ladder climber, but has anti-corp agenda. The wife in the beginning seems like a spoiled rich brat but in time you will see she has a good and strong heart. Both of them experiences very difficult situations in their own way, but they did their best to keep calm and being normal. Sometimes I wondered. "That's it? But both of them had such a tough day!" In many ways "Incorporated" share similarities with "The Americans", which I also enjoyed tremendously.The special effects are also high-end. From the refugee camp to the splendid "Green Zone". Every scene seems fit the description, and not cheap. The devil is in the details. Rich people drives very futurist cars and "Red Zone" people ride shabby ones. Rich people have expensive exotic dinners and "Red Zone" people eat rats. I really appreciate how much attention they paid in every little thing. Sometimes I pause the screen, just to see what's in the scene, and admire how much effort they must have put in for even a short clip.However, even the show's script is great. Some pot-holes are still there, like why some "Green Zone" people took great risks to go to the "Red Zone" for fun. Then they later ended up being kidnapped. It seems not reasonable to me. But overall this show has much less holes than other Sci-Fis.In conclusion, this is a great sci-fi show. It touches many social issues, very suspenseful, and sometimes deeply emotional. It should worth your time.

It's 2074. Most governments are bankrupt. Climate change has devastated the crops. Competing multinational corporations control 90% of the globe. In Milwaukee, Ben Larson (Sean Teale) is SPIGA middle management working on mind-reading technology. Corporate workers live in the Green Zone while the rest of the population struggle to scrap by in the Red Zone. He's married to Laura Larson (Allison Miller) who is the estranged daughter of company executive Elizabeth Krauss (Julia Ormond). Laura is a doctor tired of the superficial work for the company. Julian Morse (Dennis Haysbert) is security specialist working for Krauss. In reality, Ben's true identity is Aaron Sloane from the Red Zone. He infiltrated SPIGA to rescue his love Elena Marquez who was forced into prostitution for the company. Elena's brother Theo starts competing in cage fights.This show lays out an intriguing world. The production value is relatively good. It's a slow build. Ben Larson is not that compelling at first. There's a reason. He's reserved and actually playing a part rather than being real. There's a lot to dig through and the show should work better. Theo is really unnecessary unless the showrunner had a bigger plan for him. Instead of Theo, the show needed to follow Elena. This lasted one season ten episodes. I don't think it got much of an audience.

I went into this not expecting much, but it turned out to be an interesting show with a great cast of actors. You can't really go wrong with Dennis Haysbert. I wouldn't say the premise is all that original but the underlying plot involving the main character was good enough to keep me coming back. My one annoyance with the series is Syfy's silly censorship of certain swear words. Have them or don't have them, but if you're going to have every possible swear word without censoring them why censor the f- word?

This show has some great elements, the subtext is stark - eat or be eaten. This is an all too plausible a future for all of us, Shrinking resources, stratification of society, a multi-global corporate takeover of martial and civil order. Think EXXON, Samsung, Foxconn, Apple...the top eight companies of the world control annual revenues of over 1 Trillion $. That is power. The tech in the program is not all that implausible either , we are nearly there in bio-medical interfaces that would allow some of this dystopia in about 20 years from now. Maybe less. The cast is good, Denis Haysbert is great the other star is Julia Ormond the rest are just great up and comers. I really recommend Incorporated along side of The Expanse, two of the best scify shows on TV.
