In this series, future humans can be able to 'upload' themselves into their preferred choice for the afterlife. Nathan dies early and goes there, as Nora receives him in his copy from Heaven and Nathan is still out of life, far away from his loved ones. Now, Nora struggles alive to survive her mission in working with Nathan in the afterlife together.
Mainly, though, Upload is a wickedly funny, well-executed black comedy. Whenever it threatens to get deep and meaningful, another zinger of a gag comes along.
Upload is all about a set of interesting, sometimes even compelling 'rules' that the show has to distort and break in order to surprise the viewer. It often succeeds.
As easy as it is to compare Upload to a program such as The Good Place ... Greg Daniels' romantic-comedy-cum-mystery is more a commentary on capitalism, a topic it tackles as successfully as it does ineffectually.
The series struggles with some identity issues, never settling on a distinct overall tone, but manages to still remain a short, mostly enjoyable binge watch.
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.
"Upload" is more amusing than it is laugh-out-loud funny. But it's quick-witted, clever (an Arnold Palmer bot appears on a VR golf course in episode four) and twisty.
