Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob OwenNov 20, 2013
Season 1 Review: It's a little wild and woolly and more serialized; it's also more addictive [than "Alpha House"]. Read full review

VarietyBrian LowryNov 20, 2013
Season 1 Review: It helps enormously that Dinicol and Soni find the right mix of vulnerability and awkwardness in the leading roles. The show also captures a general atmosphere of Silicon Valley as a youthful place not far removed from absorbing the Harry Potter books. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It's full to overflowing with clever and sometimes very funny geek-speak. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Things could go either way. If Mr. Endicott, Mr. Stoddard and their colleagues can exercise more consistent quality control, there might be another round of financing in their future. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Betas’ aspirational spirit can be invigorating, but it’s yet to find a unique perspective on the setting that was the winningest part of its pilot. Read full review

Season 1 Review: If Betas keeps up with millennial cleverness, it's also sometimes a little too on-the-nose. Read full review

San Jose Mercury News/Contra Costa TimesChuck BarneyNov 22, 2013
Season 1 Review: The show crackles with witty (and jargony) banter and mostly succeeds at making its tech world fun and engaging -- something Randi Zuckerberg's "Start-Up: Silicon Valley" reality series too often failed to do. But the problem with Betas is that it's an uneven endeavor that's just good enough to make you wish it were better. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Betas brims with raunch, perhaps in the belief that it is key to hooking younger viewers.­ Read full review
