FTA-TV StartUp - series by Crackle

[Frank Bunn]

Loving this show and surprised it hasn't been mentioned by anyone. I'm half way through the 2016 first series and binge watching it. There's a second series this year and a third has been greenlighted.

Set in Miami, a desperate banker needs to conceal stolen money. A Haitian-American gang lord wants to go legit. A female hacker has invented a crypto-currency. A corrupt FBI agent is trying to get in on the act.

The writing is top notch as is the acting by the four main characters. Give it go if you liked The Wire or Ozark.

Finished both seasons really solid - overall good story line with rough acting and must get rid of Ronald.

Hope there is a season 3

Smashed through the 20 episodes of season 1 and 2 in four days. Best show I've watched in a while.

The producers must not have paid the right critics. On Rotten Tomatoes the critics scored season 1 at 33%, whereas the audience score is 91%. IMDB scores it at 8.1.

Yeah, was brutal.

Finished season 2 which was solid, enjoyed it & the final scene with Rask was just a classic , bring on S3.

Series 3 is quality also.

It doesn't do itself any favours by inviting comparisons with The Wire.

Season 3 was more like Homeland. And IMO just as good.

Just finished this.

Great show. It has really flown under the radar. Martin Freeman is brilliant in this.
