Review of Betas

Betas (2013–2014)
9/10
I like this better than Silicon Valley, hope they bring it back
7 July 2017
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...
