Life's a bitch! At least for the young programmer Jana, who has developed a promising app with which she is on the verge of a breakthrough. Because abruptly she is thrown out of the joint company by her boyfriend and her best friend. Now she wants to start over as a lone fighter and ends up in a hip co-working space, where she soon meets numerous like-minded people. Between influencers and start-up geniuses, more than just a community of purpose develops: a friendship that could soon lead to great things.
A whiff of "Silicon Valley", "Girlboss" and the "IT Crowd" wafts through this eight-part "neoriginal" from Bildundtonfabrik ("How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast)") for ZDFneo, which operates on the pulse of the times with its co-working space setting and numerous crazy start-up ideas. Carried by a young cast, for whom "Start the Fck Up" is likely to become an innovative comedy hub for a promising future.
