The Adam Brody Crime Drama That Everyone's Watching On Netflix

At the start of his career, Adam Brody rose to prominence as Seth Cohen, one of the leads of the popular teen drama, "The O.C." With the popularity of the show, it seemed almost inevitable that at least some of the main cast would continue onto other lead roles, whether in film or television. Brody, in particular, became somewhat of a teen idol for his turn as Seth — the LA Times even dubbed him "TV's sexiest geek" in a piece written about his rising stardom. But after "The O.C" ended, Brody's career just didn't pop the way most industry watchers expected. He found himself stuck playing minor but essential (and memorable) roles in films such as "Jennifer's Body," "Ready or Not," and — most recently — "Promising Young Woman."

That said, Brody did take on a leading role in another TV series — one that seems to have mostly flown under the radar. In 2016, "StartUp" premiered on Crackle, one of the lesser known streaming services, and has since aired three seasons. Although new episodes haven't aired since 2018, "StartUp" hasn't technically been canceled yet, so hope for new episodes springs eternal (via TV Series Finale).

While viewers without a Crackle subscription may have missed "StartUp" upon its initial release, it's now gaining tons of attention after all three seasons were made available to Netflix in early May.
