Up Here certainly has the pedigree to be a good musical rom-com. But Whitman and Valdes elevate what is already good material by just being so damned cute together.
-
Infuses the magic of Broadway into what might otherwise have been a mundane romantic comedy.
-
As the show progresses, we get to know him [Miguel] and Lindsay better so that by the third episode of the season, they feel more like people than the types we met in the pilot. The songs also get better, no longer so achingly earnest and striving but rather expressing real human experiences. ... By the time Lindsay and Miguel celebrate the turn of the millennium in the finale, “Up Here” had fully captured me.

What Hulu’s Up Here, the latest romantic-comedy-musical about a writer in New York City, may lack in terms of originality, it has an annoying tendency to counterbalance with undeniable charm.
-
It gets repetitive and dull, though the musical numbers should help maintain some viewer interest.
