"Rather than untangling a knotty tale, it presents a crisply black-and-white world... and then strips away whatever subtext might somehow have existed."

—

Variety

"It's a tiring and discordant watch."

—

The Guardian

"A rapid-fire recap of recent history without enough interiority or insight."

—

IndieWire

"The Travis Kalanicks of the world only thrive in a toxic ecosystem, and Super Pumped doesn’t let anyone off the hook."

"An engrossing, unvarnished ride..."

"(Super Pumped is) the TV equivalent of a tech bro. Watching it is like attending a business meeting that refuses to end, attended by self-styled junior masters of the universe who won’t shut up."
