Summary
Reviewers say 'Upload' is a thought-provoking series blending science fiction, romance, and comedy, exploring digital immortality and human connection. Praised for its futuristic setting, clever humor, and social commentary, the show offers an engaging storyline and immersive world-building. However, some critics point out uneven writing, lackluster twists, and inconsistent character development. Comparisons to 'Black Mirror' and 'The Good Place' yield mixed opinions. Despite flaws, 'Upload' is generally considered an entertaining and unique sci-fi addition.
Featured reviews
Imagine if a Black Mirror episode was written by a witty optimist and stretched out for an entire season.
Packed with ideas and future technology that brings up a whole host of philosophical questions and moral implications.
Tons of laughs and yet a tone that remains highly respectable.
This is top notch all around.

This is a fun show with great characters that you love more and more with each episode. Robbie Amell and Andy Allo, I believe in their first starring roles in a TV series, have great chemistry together. You cheer for things to go well and get upset when they don't. And all the side characters really add to this, Idiocracy-like, future world.
Just remember, it's definitely not a copy of The Office or Parks and Rec. It has a more dramatic connected storyline than those shows that really gets you involved, wanting the main characters to succeed (or fail).
The only downside? I wish there were more episodes. I can't wait for season 2!

I loved this show, it was new light fun, original and wacky at times. I loved the chrmistry between the different actors.
Season 2 went heavier, but was still enjoyable and still had substance. It wasn't on the level of season 1, but was still happy season 3 launched.
Well.. until I started watching, I could live with episode one, even though it could have very well been an entirely different show I was watching.. but in episode two it has gotten so ridiculous, and not in a good way. It's so lame, I'm opting out after this episode. Such a shame, what happened here? How van you ruin such a great concept and go in such a different direction. The humor in season 3 is just awful.

I really didn't know what to expect from Upload and never really planned on watching it until I read all the great reviews and thought I'd give it a chance. I'm so glad that I did because it's actually a pretty good show. It's just a fun show that will keep you entertained throughout each episode. It's a very smart, charming series that will make you laugh several times per episode. It's a love story and murder mystery all rolled into one show. It was created by Greg Daniels (The Office, Parks and Recreation, etc) so he knows how to make a great show. I'm glad they've already renewed it for a few more seasons. I absolutely recommend that you give it a chance because you will not be disappointed!
I was actually surprised by how much I enjoyed Upload. It takes place in a futuristic world where people can upload their consciousness into a virtual world after they die. It's about a man named Nathan Brown (Robert Amell) who uploads his consciousness after his death (or murder?). It then shows how he has to get used to his new life in this virtual world where the more money you have the more you can have what ever you want. It's such a fun and creative show with plenty of laughs. It also smartly points out how flawed our species is and what we think is important. The episodes are only around a half hour long so you can binge through the 17 episodes so far pretty quickly.
