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.

Perfecto
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.

Great mix of romantic drama and off the wall comedy
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!

Altered Carbon meets The Good Place.
Very entertaining and easy to binge-watch. If you're looking for something light to watch, this is it.
Surprisingly thoughtful; even more surprisingly, actually funny
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.

Season 1: 9/10 S2: 6/10 S3: 3/10
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.
