Fast-paced, very funny and ultimately life-affirming, Upload is (you guessed it) to die for. [27 Apr - 10 May 2020, p. 11]

The transitory nature of death in this universe allows the show’s writers to mine some very dark laughs out of moments of surprise violence or gore, and the fact that they’ve got William B. Davis, The X-Files’ own Smoking Man, on hand to lob some of the bleakest one-liners doesn’t hurt. But as bracing as Upload’s comedy can be, it’s the human side that often lets it down.

Upload, thankfully, is a series that doesn't require a spine — much like how I remember countless individual jokes in Idiocracy, but if you ask me what the movie's plot is, I couldn't tell you anything. What keeps the show going as more than just a joke-fest is that it's also a fairly sweet, budding love story between Nathan and Nora. ... It's probably not as good as The Good Place, but it's got plenty of laughs and ideas to make you think.

None of the comedy is all that great, though. That’s at least a little to do with the performers, especially Amell, who’s serviceable as Nathan but not bringing anything to this project that’s not already on the page. ... It’s too relentlessly sad for the humor to work, and none of the humor is quite as sharp as Ingrid’s dangerous shoulder blades.

This is one of the most stunning disappointments of the TV year, a show that displays none of the wit or charm of the best Daniels projects like “Parks and Recreation” and “The Office.” ... The ideas are superficial, the performances are mostly bland, and the plotting is frustrating. Worst of all, it’s just not that funny.

Love the show! Robbie Amell and Andy Allo are great and I’m a big fan of theirs. Good humor, likeable characters and a captivating story. I also love the projected future tech all throughout the show, it shows that they care and aren't lazy.

This show gets better by the episode. The male and female lead are both amazing and have great chemistry. It's also way funnier than I was expecting.

Not done yet, but I certainly dig it. The lead is great. I'm surprised I havent seen him in more things.
