Upload

Upload is an imaginative look at a hyper-consumerized near future in which even death can be avoided - for a price. It would have been easy to play this scenario for cheap laughs - and sure, there are some - but Upload goes further, exploring relationships, ethical boundaries, and most of all, the blind spots in the mirror we hold up to ourselves.

The series has more range than you'd expect: mostly cheerful, but with moments of suspense, disappointment, and even (real) death. It reveals itself in stages, as each two-dimensional character, in turn, suddenly displays real depth. It's like watching popcorn, wondering when the next kernel is going to blow, always a little surprised by which one it turns out to be.

The humor is pervasive, and the writers didn't settle for (only) the obvious "hey, remember, I'm actually dead" jokes. The laugh-out-loud moments, for me, were much subtler - like in the news video showing a group of headless bodies as they are encountered by first responders, one of whom slips a pulse-oximeter on a corpse's finger.

My wife and I pretty much binged this series in about three sittings. I only wish we'd discovered it later, as a second season may be as much as two years away. Regardless of when that actually happens - unless I've been uploaded by then myself - I'll be watching.

7 episodes this time? Seriously? I realize this is a 1st World Problem but either make the episodes 45 minutes to an hour long or give us more of them.

Ok, rant over. Now, onto the nice things. I love Upload. There's so much to see here. The mystery. The comedy. The romance. The feuding. The drama. Please give us another season sooner rather than later.

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.

Very entertaining and easy to binge-watch. If you're looking for something light to watch, this is it.

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.
