Ready to log in and catch up on one of Prime Video's best originals? As the final season of Upload approaches, join me for a quick recap of the first three seasons, a hilarious, high-concept ride that has a lot to say about life, death, and corporate greed.
Imagine living forever, but only if you can afford it. That’s the central hook of Upload, Prime Video’s sharp, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt dramedy set in 2033. In this world, death is no longer the end. Instead, humans can “upload” their consciousness into a virtual paradise if their bank account allows it.
But beneath the slick tech and satirical sheen lies a genuine love story between Nathan (Robbie Amell), a recently uploaded tech developer, and Nora (Andy Allo), the empathetic customer service rep who helps guide him through the digital afterlife. Their connection grows across the seasons, grounding the series in something deeply human amid all the futuristic absurdity.
What makes Upload stand out is how it balances humor, romance, and biting social commentary. The show cleverly critiques wealth disparity, corporate greed, and even the commercialization of death itself. It poses tough questions in between the jokes: Who deserves a second chance, and who gets priced out of eternity?
Season-by-Season Highlights
Season 1 – Welcome to Lakeview
We meet Nathan and Nora as they navigate the bizarre, corporate-controlled afterlife. Comedy and mystery blend together, with Nathan’s suspicious death hinting at a darker conspiracy behind the shiny facade.
Season 2 – Love, Upgraded
The romance deepens but so do the stakes. As Nathan and Nora grow closer, real-world protests rise against the uploading system, while corporate power plays threaten both their lives and futures.
Season 3: Double the Trouble
Nathan’s shocking return to the real world complicates everything—especially since another version of him still exists in Lakeview. Meanwhile, Nora’s activism escalates, putting her and Nathan at the center of a movement that could upend everything. It’s the show’s boldest, most ambitious season yet.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I give the first three seasons of Upload a strong 9/10. The series is witty, tender, and consistently thought-provoking, making it one of Prime Video’s most compelling originals. With its final season on the horizon, now is the perfect time to log in and catch up.
