Best show on Amazon Prime! So dark, so funny, so different. Well written and so human...or as human as superheroes can get :)

Upload took the Black Mirror episode "San Junipero" and gave it a PG rating with a romantic comedy twist. At first, I thought that the filming style reminded me of a Hallmark movie, but the characters are so likeable, and the concept so imaginative, that the whole show grows on you quickly. By the end of episode 1, I was hooked. Watched the whole season in three days.

The best things about Tarek and Christina are that they are level-headed and realistic. You don't see them blowing up at their contractors, or overspending on their flips. They spend realistic amounts of money on their properties and renovations, and they encounter realistic problems. Unlike other shows, like Flipping Vegas, problems don't seem staged. And I love the fact that the show is only 30 minutes; one hour can be overkill for these types of shows. Other reviewers have said that the characters are "bland" but I disagree. I would rather that they be themselves rather than over-act for the camera. And I don't mind Christina's SoCal accent; she's nice to look at and she has a good head on her shoulders. Over all, Flip or Flop is an entertaining and efficient home renovation show.
