Critic Reviews

Terry Terrones

Feb 24, 2022

Season 1 Review: While the acting is first rate, the driving force behind Super Pumped is in the way its layered relationships are written. Read full review

The Playlist Brian Tallerico

Feb 23, 2022

Season 1 Review: Other than a few times when the form of the show itself feels a bit too manic, “Super Pumped” is just entertaining drama. Read full review

Richard Roeper

Season 1 Review: Echoes of “The Social Network” reverberate throughout this slick, cool, darkly funny albeit somewhat superficial anthology. Read full review

The Guardian Adrian Horton

Feb 24, 2022

Season 1 Review: At its best, Super Pumped pokes at the dubious ethics of Silicon Valley – even the guys ostensibly trying to do the right thing, such as Gurley’s determination to allow drivers to collect tips, are ultimately focused on the bottom line. But it’s a discordant, tiring watch. Read full review

The Independent Amanda Whiting

Jun 22, 2022

Season 1 Review: The series resists the urge to humanise Travis’s selfishness, but it also fails to extrapolate what super pumped guys like Travis mean for Silicon Valley and the rest of us. The result is low-calorie entertainment of the highest order, as flashy and empty as Travis’s self-serving rallying cry. Read full review

Feb 24, 2022

Season 1 Review: The TV equivalent of a tech bro. Watching it is like attending a business meeting that refuses to end, attended by self-styled junior masters of the universe who won’t shut up. Read full review

Steven Scaife

Feb 28, 2022

Season 1 Review: Whatever massaging has gone into coherently dramatizing this story never feels like enough. Travis often goes on about how the Uber app is meant to be a “frictionless” experience, but this misshapen series is anything but. Read full review

"Super Pumped" (S01, 7 eps, 1-hr, Showtime) is an engaging docudrama of the rise and fall of Travis Kalanick and his Uber empire. You get to see him at his best and worst where the distance between those two is ever so slight. Whatever you think of him, his story as told here is pretty"Super Pumped" (S01, 7 eps, 1-hr, Showtime) is an engaging docudrama of the rise and fall of Travis Kalanick and his Uber empire.

BTW, this story wraps with the season finale. I don't see how there's a second season unless it tells another's rise/fall.… Expand

This show is basically a public relations piece for a sociopath businessman. It's a story not worth telling, about a person not worth hearing about, that's not honest about it any way.
