I will avoid spoiler till my last sentence.This is the first time I've ever left a review here. And sorry for any mistakes - English is my second language.This is an amazing show and I have no idea why some people leave bad reviews. They think it is all about corporations! That's funny because shows about zombies are very popular and they are not about zombies at all! It is all about people in difficult situations. And this show portrays really interesting situations.Laura has become my favourite hero here. She is a rich girl who was not spoilt by her family's status. She's been in a very, very traumatic situation but managed to get over it, to change for better and wow...!Ben/Aaron - I can understand him. He's been fighting for so long for someone that it has become his obsession. And he doesn't see his happiness under his nose (imho)! But still he manages not only to survive on an enemy's territory but to achieve success. How? - just watch it!This show keeps your attention from the first minute. And I am so sad that it was cancelled after the first season.Spoilers: OMG! There was so much chemistry between Laura and Goran! There must be season 2! Please!

The current route our world is on is extrapolated mercilessly in this fast paced thriller and it makes for some compelling TV. I've only seen a few episodes, so it's not clear where things are going. Nonetheless, the fate of various characters begins to spin off the rails fairly quickly. There is plenty of nail biting tension and glimpses of the future are seeded in the writing, which I loved! There are so many great lines just dropped into the mix in passing:"We'll have the champagne, one of the Norwegians." "I hear the beaches in Reykjavik are fantastic." "Everyone uses a gestator, it's just common sense."However, I prefer my fictional dystopias, well, fictional so let's heed the warnings while we enjoy the show:-)

"Incorporated" is about Ben Larsen, a young boy who grows up in the squalor of the Red Zone, an area far removed from the glamorous excesses of corporation compounds in this futuristic vision of the world. We see Ben mostly as a grown man, but flashbacks fill in the blanks of his past.While most corporate employees are driven to succeed in their jobs, Ben has a secret agenda, a purpose that guides his every move.Since almost every character is written as desperate, willing to do what is necessary to survive, and inured to the harsh realities on life, it would be easy to write off the acting as one-dimensional. Also, the CGI can be distracting. But the story lines are convincing. And they expose the moral dilemmas that are created by this dystopian world.Though I don't find much of this show "enjoyable", it is engaging. As long as the writers don't inject too much of the left-liberal bias that infects many shows--and allow the story to focus on plot points and twists that capture the imagination--I will continue watching.Update 1/12/17: After a few episodes, the worlds inside and outside of the corporate walls are being fleshed out, as are the stories of the characters. I am raising my grade to "8".

This futuristic drama-venture is a diamond in the rough. If you can see a future through its first year growing pains you can see its potential. Ben is the main protagonist that all the sub-stories splinter off of. He is in love with a girl from the red zone who is a childhood friend but lost touch with her when she went off to be a escort in Arcadia, she wants out and Ben is trying to figure out how to get her out. He lives a double life married to elite green zone debutante who has had a not so pleasant taste of what its like outside the walls and though she has become comfortable in the green zone life she is rebelling against it. Ben seems to be helping her along in that area for his own interest. Kaplan is the quintessential bad guy who has it out for Ben and has a advance in the corporation or die attitude. He is the guy you love to hate and adds a fun edge to the show. I won't drag this out but I think if you keep watching, as the writing and acting mature you are going to have a great show to watch each week. Probably won't win any Emmys but it will be a solid show to download each week.
