Yes. That's what Netflix does with original series. It puts all the episodes up at once and you can watch it however you want. Looks like Crackle does the same.

Re: New series 'Start Up' with Martin Freeman
Watching first episode of Start UP.
Just saw Martin Freeman's character having shower sex.
My life is now complete.

Heavy on the sex and violence.

Re: New series 'Start Up' with Martin Freeman
I watched some clips. Is anyone else wondering if Martin let his hair grow for Sherlock and they just included it in his Phil Rask character? Because I cannot imagine Moftiss looking at him and saying spontaneously, oh, come on, that looks good, let's change John Watson's appearance. He filmed this shortly before Setlock, right?

Re: New series 'Start Up' with Martin Freeman
I don't know on the latter, but hair doesn't bother me that much!
I find it more interesting that Sherlock fans also like sexy, violent stuff!
We don't get much of either in Sherlock and is one of the reasons I like it.
Though I must say, I am totally fine with any portrayals of gay sex...but straight stuff is just tedious!

Re: New series 'Start Up' with Martin Freeman
I very much enjoy watching hot people get naked.
And yes, I do believe he filmed this right before Setlock. When the first photos of John came out I thought, that's the same hair he has in Start Up. I like it.

Do you really? How strange. I can't think why. 
I certainly wouldn't turn my TV off, but for some reason I seem to get more out of repression, dark passions and temptations, moral conflicts, etc. than the actual sex. Maybe I shouldn't have read The Thorn Birds at an impressionable age.
I wouldn't mind seeing that scene, though.

Re: New series 'Start Up' with Martin Freeman
Oh Liberty, I think the Thorn Birds made an impression on us all.
So far the show itself is good, but not outstanding. Martin is the best part about it. What I am really enjoying is the fact that Martin is playing a bad guy. A dirty FBI agent. I think the average viewer has no idea how good Martin can be at being bad.

Re: New series 'Start Up' with Martin Freeman
I am just not that into sex and certainly don't want to see other people doing it!
I do like Martin's hair, though.

Start Up, Season 2 is on the way!

What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?

BB, it's on Crackle, an internet streaming service like Hulu.
