    • Quotes

      Nora Antony: Alright, you're all connected now. Do you look real to yourself? Ten fingers and toes?

      Nathan Brown: [flexing his fingers and toes] Pretty seamless.

      Nora Antony: Great. Well, explore, enjoy, and meet your fellow uploads. Just let it sink in how lucky you are. This is the first day of the rest of your afterlife.

    Welcome to Upload
    The first episode superficially resembles The Good Place but it also masks a mystery comedy drama set in the near future.

    We are introduced first to Nora who works for Lakeview. They have created a virtual reality place where people's digital self are uploaded.

    Nathan is an arrogant coder with a hot girlfriend who is severely injured as his self driving car fails to obey his commands. Something has gone with its safety protocols and his car crashes into a truck. Nathan's girlfriend persuades him to sign up with Lakeview before he dies.

    The first episode sees Nathan struggling with his after life and his time at Lakeview. Nora is effectively his guide from the real world.

    However there are some computer files missing, Nathan's memory is hazy and his girlfriend in the living world seems to be acting shady.

    There are some good special effects but at times I found this to be a patchy and uncertain episode. It wants to be a kooky offbeat comedy, Nathan is unlikeable and you wonder where they are going to go with him.

    Although the mystery element is intriguing. Someone in Lakeview sees Nathan as a danger. It might be something to do with his coding work.
