Betas is a comedy television series that was produced by Amazon Studios and aired on Amazon Prime from 2013-2014. The show is centered around a group of young engineers who are trying to launch a new social networking app in Silicon Valley. The series stars four main characters - Trey (played by Joe Dinicol), Nash (played by Karan Soni), Hobbes (played by Jon Daly), and Mitchell (played by Charlie Saxton). Trey is the lead developer of the app, while Nash is the business-savvy one who handles the company's finances. Hobbes is the charismatic salesman, and lastly, Mitchell is the socially awkward but brilliant coder.

Betas is a classic underdog story, where Trey and his team are trying to make it big in the tech world. They have a unique idea for a social media app that combines location-based services with the ability to rate people on their looks, personality, and accomplishments. The idea is controversial, but they believe they can make it work.

The four main characters of the show are all very different, but they are brought together by their shared passion for technology and their desire to succeed. Trey is the leader of the group, but he struggles with making the right decisions and balancing his personal life with his work.

Nash, on the other hand, is always on the lookout for a good business opportunity and is constantly trying to push the team to think bigger. Hobbes is the life of the party, always cracking jokes and making everyone in the room feel at ease. Finally, Mitchell is the socially awkward one who struggles with interpersonal relationships but is a coding genius.

One of the show's strongest aspects is its representation of the tech industry. Betas is set in Silicon Valley, which is known for being a hub of innovation and entrepreneurship. The show does an excellent job of portraying the unique culture of Silicon Valley, from the quirky office spaces to the backstabbing business deals.

Another standout feature of Betas is its humor. The show is full of witty one-liners and clever jokes, often making fun of the absurdities of startup culture. The comedy is lighthearted and easy to watch, making it an enjoyable show for those who are looking for a relaxing and funny TV experience.

Despite its many strengths, Betas does have some weaknesses. The pacing of the show can be sluggish at times, and some of the subplots are less interesting than others. Additionally, the show's treatment of its female characters has been criticized as being one-dimensional and uninspired.

Overall, Betas is an entertaining and hilarious show that captures the spirit of Silicon Valley and startup culture. Its cast of unique and lovable characters makes it easy to root for the underdogs as they try to launch their app and achieve success in the tech world. While the show may not be perfect, its humor and heart make it worth watching.

Betas is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (11 episodes). The series first aired on April 19, 2013.
