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. Read full review

The production values are high, the acting efficient, the story teems with twists and turns. Read full review

Besides the sharp yet paper-thin portrayals, the biggest problem with the show is timing. You look to Incorporated for dystopian fiction that expresses our current anxieties; what you get is fitful resonance that makes you realize it might be too soon for any show to meet that challenge.

Syfy’s derivative yet intriguing thriller. Read full review

While Incorporated aims to create a personal story in the midst of this swirling sci-fi setting, it ultimately comes off as bland and boilerplate--though its greatest trick is that it remains eminently watchable. Read full review

Incorporated‘s by-the-books corporate espionage plot feels like a constant handicap on its more high-reaching notions. Read full review

Ken Tucker

Nov 30, 2016

Scenes of cage-match violence are regularly inserted to break up the boring office scenes of people sitting across from each other at desks, jawboning about corporate strategies. The result makes the future seem like a more extreme version of the present, which, in turn, is simply depressing. Read full review

Absolutely love the show. It's intriguing, inventive sci-fi, and extremely bold. It takes a leap in a direction that many wouldn't attempt, and that leap seems to have paid off.

It takes a leap in a direction that many wouldn't attempt, and that leap seems to have paid off. The actors, writing, CGI, staging, and music all sync up well enough to make you believe that this world they're trying to create could actually become a reality.

I can see this show not being for everyone. As it's not a war-base or adventure based sci-fi, but more of a drama based tv series in a sci-fi universe. Don't be afraid to give it a shot, and tell your friends. This show deserves a second season.… Expand

Co-ordination is all you need? Young and arty. Sleek but not suits. And does the lead role have no time, lots of time or... is his time sought after? e

I enjoyed it very much. I did dislike the motivation of the main character and that might be what turned off some viewers. Disappointing that scifi channel didn't give it a chance

The show is interesting, the acting is good, and the plot twists and turns in unexpected ways. The special effects have been good thus far. I give it a 9 overall, as some of the writing is predictable. Overall, i think this is the best show SyFy has ever made. I'm a big fan of it thus far.

Incorporated is actually very interesting with a bold and entertaining approach of corporative power. Even if this isn't a particularly original concept, the show manages to make a breakthrough by creating a world so beautiful it's impossible not to take a look.

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 itAfter 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
