Watch StartUp (2016), Season 2 online on iFILM — a crime drama in ten episodes that hands the trio a brutal reset. GenCoin now belongs to the Russian mob, so Nick, Izzy and Ronald start over with Araknet, a decentralized darknet prototype meant to be the internet's shadow.
Every new user the network pulls in raises the price of ambition. Izzy pushes too hard and lands in the Russians' sights more than once, surviving by inches. Ronald buries someone he loves and slides back toward thoughts of revenge, torn between his family and the street. Nick digs into his late father's past and surfaces Wes Chandler (Ron Perlman), an investor whose backing costs far more than money. And Phil Rask still looms, his debt to the Russians turning darker by the episode. Kidnappings, shootouts, poisoned offers of "friendship" out of Moscow — this is a business war fought to stay alive.
The sophomore run asks it flat out: what is the cost of ambition, and how far will you actually go. The pace runs harder than the first season, and the characters come out colder. Stream StartUp Season 2 online on iFILM.
