Based on the podcast "StartUp" from Gimlet Media, "Alex, Inc." follows Alex Schuman as he embarks on the adventure of starting his own company. Having already found success professionally, as a radio journalist, and personally, as a husband and father of two, Alex isn't satisfied just coasting along and decides to do something crazy -- quit his job and start over on his own terms. He quickly learns that building his own business isn't going to be as easy as he thought, but the payoff will be rewarding.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

By failing to establish the credibility of its lead, Alex, Inc loses sight an appealing premise and strands a likable Zach Braff in a sea of wasted potential.

Sonia Saraiya Variety There is richness to Alex, Inc. It's just everywhere except the main story. Mar 29, 2018 Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times It's good-natured almost to a fault, a giant dimple of a show. Mar 29, 2018 Full Review Inkoo Kang The Hollywood Reporter The dozens of probably excellent podcast episodes on my phone that are waiting to be heard serve as a reminder that life's too short to watch some charmless twerp gradually grow a spine. Mar 28, 2018 Full Review Emily Ashby Common Sense Media Tepid comedy has positive messages about work/life balance. Rated: 2/5 Apr 10, 2018 Full Review Nick Venable CinemaBlend Currently... it's only halfway to that goal, and instead of wanting to watch more, I'm just thinking about podcasts now. Rated: 2.5/5 Mar 28, 2018 Full Review Mark A. Perigard Boston Herald What Alex, Inc. cries out for is for that one character who doesn't think Alex is amazing, smart, sexy, funny or God's gift to humanity. Rated: C Mar 28, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
