Sony's StartUp

[Steven]

New show based around digital currency and supposedly trying to depict it fairly accurately.

The show is set in Miami and (surprise!) involves drug dealers and an FBI agent as well as a brilliant young Stanford drop-out, Izzy Morales, who tries to convince people how digital money will change the world.

The young coder is actually flogging something called "Gen-Coin," which she claims is better than the original bitcoin, but is based on the same idea of a decentralized digital currency beyond the reach of banks and governments. In Izzy's eyes, while money can corrupt people, the bigger issue is that "people corrupt money."

Just watching the first episode, Martin Freeman is in it.

Sex scene TWO MINS into it. Martin Freeman turns up in the background doing his bemused Tim from The Office face and adopting a terrible American accent.
