Imagine living forever, but only if you can afford it. Here's my thoughts on the series (so far) of Prime Video's comedy Upload.
In Upload, Amazon Prime's high-concept dramedy set in 2033, death is no longer the end. Instead, humans can "upload" their consciousness to a virtual paradise, with continuing access to loved ones in the real world, if their bank account allows it.
But beneath the slick tech and satirical sheen lies a heartfelt love story between Nathan (Robbie Amell), a recently uploaded tech developer, and Nora (Andy Allo), the empathetic customer service rep who helps guide him in the afterlife.
Over the three seasons, their relationship grows from a cautious connection to something more meaningful. While the show often leans into its absurdist, futuristic setting, their chemistry and emotional arc ground the series in something deeply human.
What's especially effective is the way Upload weaves timely critiques about economic disparity, corporate control, and the commercialization of death into its narrative. It asks: Who deserves a second chance, and who gets priced out of eternity?
Overall, I give the first three seasons of Upload 9/10. The series is witty, tender, and often thought-provoking. It is one of the most compelling offerings in Prime Video's lineup. With the final season coming soon, now's the perfect time to log in.
