I'd categorize it as a whimsical comedy sci-fi mystery with pathos? Pretty good so far. Found myself chuckling quite a few times already - which is refreshing as funny shows are rarely funny these days IMO.



Youtube: Upload - Official Trailer - Amazon Prime Video (2min)

I'm 4 episodes in (of 10)... The vibe so far is a a healthy dose of:
The Good Place (lots of little cgi effects to make the "reality" real)
Better Off Ted
Search Party
The New Girl
After Life


Plus a pinch of Death Becomes Her & a touch of Her.

Anybody else watching this?



ETA:

The first episode is 1hr... after that they are 22-35min/each... So it's an easy binge watch.

Will have to check it out. I finished watching the 1st season of The Expanse Wednesday, and started the new season last night. Put it in my list, and might check out Upload after that.

Just finished the first episode... it’s pretty good.. feels a lot like The Good Place, but a little darker.

Good list, we were trying to figure out how to describe it and couldn’t decide


We’re digging it three episodes in. Feels very different than anything else out there right now. Sitcom feel but definitely deeper than most of that genre.

Took a bit to adjust to the feel of the show but we’re all in now.


The work they are doing to just barely cover up nudity is exceptional

Like when some bare arse naked chick is riding some dude like a racehorse does it really matter at that point if a few strands of her hair is covering her nipple (especially when they are cursing up a storm as well ).

So maybe add old school Cinemax to the vibe list


ETA: The actual Upload process was shockingly hilarious

Binged it yesterday and I enjoyed it. It’s well written, easy to watch. It’s not going to be anyone’s greatest show ever, but it’s worth the watch.

I'm halfway through and really digging it. I like that it's a lighthearted easy watch but has the underlying mystery storyline throughout as well. I'm excited to see how it ends up and find out what really happened

I'm at episode 7. I wasn't sure if I'd like it that much after the first episode, but it grew on me after that. The acting is good and characters are interesting. I like the over-arching story too.

I love the shock-comedy scenes with exploding heads and what not, especially with Creed's cameo for the download part.

We watched the 1st episode the other day and it was...not good

the acting was horrible, the production just seemed super cheesy

it just screamed was of those terrible SciFi shows from the early 2000s

Just finished Outer Banks. Gonna give this a shot.

Just finished the first episode. I enjoyed it. Definitely some good laughs. And I thought it was done well. Has a good feel to it. Gonna watch the second episode then call it a night.

“Upload” is to sci-fi as “Chuck” is to spy thrillers ... and I’m ok with that. It is a fun show that is not trying to be more that just a light-hearted comedy about the afterlife. If you try to make it anymore than that, then it may disappoint.

Andy Allo is new to me. I had to look her up and found out she was in Prince’s band for awhile.

I'm on episode 4 as well. Started yesterday when I was looking for an easy watch. Enjoying it so far and looking forward to watching more when the kiddo goes to bed tonight.
