Very well executed

good back-story, and good acting

Excellent, a Must See

Better Late Then Never

When is the second season coming out? This is the best comedy since Bing Bang and 2 Broke Girls. The series heavily shows drug use amongst the characters, but that must only reflect the situation in 'valley'. Also, some of the characters seem to be copycats of BBT - Nash versus Rajesh and Maya versus Penny. Overall the first series has been very enjoyable to be watching and inspirational, particularly for viewers who understand a fair bit about VC and start-ups. I watched all chapters in 24 hrs. Some of the jokes are quiet 'strong' hence not sure how this comedy would do on a regular TV. It possibly would have to be shown late at night.

I don't watch TV or Movies to point out plot or theme devices and whether they are worthy or unworthy of my attention. I have a very simple guide to my viewing enjoyment, relatable characters and unless its sci-fi, realistic circumstances and overall programming has to entertain me.Betas has all three aspects. The relationship between Trey and Nash is really fun to watch unfold. Nash being the number guys who wants to be seen as more than just that. Trey acting like his big brother but at the same time wants to be the next Steve Jobs. Hobbes is great as the train wreck who you can't help but love. Overall, the entire cast has a really nice chemistry.The show is miscast somewhat as a comedy though. It's written similar to Entourage, a show with comedic moments but that can also be serious as this group tries to evolve from startup to success business. I am not sure this show will get more love from Amazon or a second season but it's a pretty good show that is very watchable and has a lot of entertaining moments. It might take more than one episode but the characters alone will keep you coming back for more.

You know, I don't get all the haters that seem to want to establish their credibility by pooping on everything. This is a SITCOM, and a reasonably entertaining one, with a unique concept and some fun if somewhat cheesy characters, not "Rashomon". Joe Dinicol, who plays the requisite straight lead/audience surrogate, reminds me a bit of Zach Braff and, come to think of it, the spirit of energy and snappy-jargon-fun is not unlike Scrubs, a show that was always a pleasant waste of time (and that's not in any way a bad thing). And it's actually ABOUT something without taking itself too seriously, not just a framework for tacking a succession of tired one-liners to like "Whitney", or "Two Broke Girls", not that it lacks gags.Having watched four episodes I can see it is definitely built on the skeleton of the Classic American Sitcom, but they hang enough freshness on it to allow you to tell your friends you watch it without losing your dignity. And there are little moments that are genuine jewels (Moby sidling up with, "Ever f*ck an octopus?", Dane's art photography featuring what initially appears to be an abstract desert landscape but ends up being a photo of his ex's bush, and others) that keep this thing from slipping into the depressing pit of anonymity where you find stuff like "New Girl". (Respect yourself, Zooey!)(And let me take a second to thank Jah for a show featuring tech that is not just one long Apple commercial. I like Apple stuff, but the real world has other tech, and I'm just glad to be spared having the ubiquitous AppleWorld pushed into my face for a change.)If nothing else, it's a way to study up on wacky jargon that's new to most people even if it's history to others. Maybe it doesn't have QUITE enough momentum to ensure it won't end up becoming just grating and tiresome, but I can honestly see this thing growing some legs. It's not HBO, but it's a lot better than I expected for an early effort from an outfit mostly known for selling books and kitchen gadgets that are delivered in just two days.

My roommate recommended this to me last night and I wound up watching the first 3 all the way through. It doesn't help Im a developer working in the Tech startup scene here in Boston, but it feels as if they have been recording parts of my life (minus the coke use). The acting is superb, the writing is witty and the characters are on par with any single person you would meet in the startup scene at say Boston, SF, Seattle etc. Watch it and ignore the lame reviews at the bottom. Its probably people that hated the new Star Trek series and pee on everything that isn't Kurisawa or Taxi Driver. Keep going strong on this.
