    After watching two episodes I'm confident in saying that Incorporated is a TV show that could have been an incredible, modern take on classic cyberpunk, and it has the rating, decent enough acting, and effects budget to pull it off, but instead it's pretty bad just because of how stupid it is.

    There are lots of small ways in which the writing is silly, but the biggest is just the basic premise. The idea of a show about corporatocracy is one that's long overdue to be explored in television - but the way they get there is pretty ridiculous.

    In Incorporated, everyone who works for a giant corporation lives in a beautiful, immaculate, technologically sophisticated paradise - everyone who doesn't, which is implied to be most of the population - is a homeless, destitute, mostly unemployed refugee living in squalor and starving to death, thanks to global warming. So since nearly everyone has no money...who the **** are these giant corporations selling their products to? It's one thing to say the middle class is dying, but you can't just cut out everything but "upper class" and "destitute poverty that neither works nor spends" and have an kind of economic premise that makes any goddamn sense.    … Expand

    While Syfy deserves credit for undertaking something that certainly sounds provocative on paper, creatively speaking, Incorporated doesn't ascend to the TV equivalent of the 40th floor.

    For fans of speculative fiction, Incorporated will feel familiar. For those who read the news with an eye toward the worst, it might feel inevitable. But even when the central story fails to spark major interest, the world that’s been built is enough to keep us engaged.

    Other parts of Incorporated are less interesting but at least the story is trying hard, and every time it misses a beat (bloody cage fighting on overdrive out in the Red Zone) it does something cool like dream up a service where you pay someone on a loud dirt bike to drive you up 18 flights of stairs in a sketchy Red Zone apartment.
