Did you know 50% of the world population don’t have access to a bank account? But, almost all of them have a cellphone.

Watch the first teaser trailer for Sony’s Crackle StartUp, a new series starring Adam Brody,

Martin Freeman, Edi Gathegi and Otmara Marrero that explores what happens when a brilliant, yet controversial tech idea gets incubated on the wrong side of the tracks by three strangers who don’t necessarily fit the mold of “tech entrepreneurs”.

Set amongst the unconstrained, yet opportunist streets of Miami, the story weaves a complex and exciting narrative, featuring the high-stakes struggle of what one will do to reach ultimate success. Forced to fund a tech company with dirty money from unsuspecting places while forming ties with a dangerous, Haitian gang, the fight to build a business pales in comparison to the fight to stay alive, especially when there’s a vehement FBI agent who wields the power to make or break those he comes in contact with—and not always for the right reasons.

I thought there was an anguished moment of pure beauty in The Office. It was between Tim and Dawn, and there were kisses being sold for Comic Relief, and he gives her a pound. Of course they’re both terribly in love, but they haven’t admitted it. And she says “Well you have to have your kiss now.” and so they have to kiss. There’s this brief incandescent kiss. It’s the sexiest thing you’ve ever seen, and they’re almost physically stunned by it. But it’s so real and so content that I think today I’m nominating that as my favourite bit of TV drama, even though it’s in a comedy.

His(Benedict Cumberbatch’) off-screen persona hasn’t always been so stylish: “I’ve been quite a late developer on the clothes front, but I’ve suddenly realised it is one of life’s joys.”

Martin Freeman, his Sherlock co-star, can take some of the credit.
“There’s a man who knows his threads,” nods Cumberbatch, admiringly. “He’s a very natty dresser. He gets stuff made and is always coming in with new pairs of shoes so I’ve been watching his clobber…” So much so that his credit card was recently declined after a birthday spree at Selfridges.

“That’s when I realised that I’m changing my habits!”
