Fast-paced, very funny and ultimately life-affirming, Upload is (you guessed it) to die for. [27 Apr - 10 May 2020, p. 11]
There’s a lot of heavy stuff at play here, but it’s all handled with a deft touch. Even when “Upload” gets serious, it’s never more than a scene away from being funny as hell.

this is really good and has a lot of funny moments, one of the best shows of the year.

SEASON 1
If “Upload” breaks no ground other than in digging up its influences, it has put the pieces together in a smart and satisfying way; if it leaves a host of philosophical questions on the table and picks up the practical ones, it has more straightforward things on its mind: love and suspense.
The transitory nature of death in this universe allows the show’s writers to mine some very dark laughs out of moments of surprise violence or gore, and the fact that they’ve got William B. Davis, The X-Files’ own Smoking Man, on hand to lob some of the bleakest one-liners doesn’t hurt. But as bracing as Upload’s comedy can be, it’s the human side that often lets it down.
The chemistry between Amell and Allo is strong enough to push aside some sense of of overfamiliarity, and to cover for aspects of the show that don’t quite click.
The intricately realized setting needs a story, however, at which point this fertile if familiar premise begins to suffer. ... He’s got some substantive ideas about inequality, technology and how one feeds the other; they only need time to be developed. The 10 episodes, some longer than 30 minutes and some shorter, hustle us through a linear plot pieced together from used-up components.
This is one of the most stunning disappointments of the TV year, a show that displays none of the wit or charm of the best Daniels projects like “Parks and Recreation” and “The Office.” ... The ideas are superficial, the performances are mostly bland, and the plotting is frustrating. Worst of all, it’s just not that funny.
So good that it makes me stay up all night watching it. It’s a really nice fresh show

SEASON 1
The show offers an interesting take on afterlife: the cloud that already today offers access to a lot of services and stores or processes more and more data, has become the future heaven or hell. Technologically speaking, everything shown in the episodes is science-fiction, but it connects very well to our present day with things like VR, cloud computing and self driving cars. This makes the story believable and attractive at the same time. The actors all do a good job and the location is very chosen. I am really looking forward to the second season… but one thing I know for sure: I don’t want to be uploaded.

This show gets better by the episode. The male and female lead are both amazing and have great chemistry. It's also way funnier than I was expecting.

SEASON 1
Great premise
Poor direction
Poor acting
No chemistry
Poor cgi
Never funny
Cheap looking at all times
Plot holes everywhere
Character motivations and leaps everywhere
Checks all the diversity esg boxes perfectly instead of bothering to do anything meaningful well.
But still I want to like it because of the premise...
