Come on man, Nathan could just have told her he was out of gigs, or Nora could have used the VR thing instead of calling him, I hate when characters making stupid decisions pushes a story forward. Also basically no advancements in the story and Nathan's coding ability seems to basically be a superpower. Literally nothing was tied up in the finale and more happened in the penultimate episode than this one.

Glad this was renewed! I wasn't sure what to expect with this show or if I'd even like it, but it ended up being alright!

Not as good as The Good Place or as funny as King Of the Hill or The Office, but I think I like it as much or more than Parks and Recreation which is saying something!

(I don't love that show but I like the mockumentary style more!)

Glad this was renewed because I think it'll be better in Season 2 not just because they'll understand the show better, but because I think there'll be more conspiracy related stuff which I personally really enjoy!

(24 is one of the best TV shows ever if that helps you understand what I mean lol!)

I'd give the season as a whole a 7/10, and a majority of the episodes were a 7/10!

Just finished the series and all I can say is ' I can't wait for season 2 ' stories of forbidden love , deception and murder , with some corporate espionage thrown in too , great season 1 , keep up the good work Amazon 5*

I went to watch the first episode just to see if I'd like it. Wound up binging the whole thing. Andy Allo is just amazing. I really believe her character and she's absolutely beautiful to boot. Robbie Amell's timing for his sense of humor is dead on. Very well acted and written show. I will be anxiously awaiting Season 2!

I loved this series from start to finish. If there were 60 episodes I would binge them all now. The writing, direction, acting & cinematography is all top notch. The cast is perfect. I can't believe how this episode ends, it's the perfect cliffhanger.

Ok i started this season last night at episode 1 im now on episode 10 looking forward to hopefully making a come back with 2nd season. I know everyones a critique. But i did genuinely enjoy what I've seen up to now.

Great episode. Did not expect the cliffhanger!! Woah!

Greg Daniels reputation is such that anything he's involved with becomes highly anticipated, as was the case with this Amazon Prime series in which he's a producer and wrote four of the episodes.

Set in the near future, "Upload" tells the story of coder Nathan Brown (Robbie Amell) who following a car accident has his consciousness uploaded to a digital "heaven" funded by his rich girlfriend Ingrid (Allegra Edwards). The digital heaven offers an "angel" service, real humans who log into the digital world and provide technical and emotional support to the clients. Nathan's angel is Nora (Andy Allo) and the pair form a friendship. But there are gaps in Nathan's memory, specifically related to what he was working on at the time of his death. Could there be something more to his death?

Overall I'd say I enjoyed "Upload" but I wouldn't say that I loved it. It's hard to really say way, I think I liked it when it was more into its comedy and its love story than its murder-mystery aspects. Amell and Allo are great, and there's a fun chemistry between them. Some of the supporting cast are pretty solid, Zainab Johnson and Kevin Bigley have nice chemistry too and I liked the fact that neither of our leads other love interests, though having bad characteristics, are completely bad people. Ingrid isn't entirely self-serving and vacuous and Jamie, played by Jordan Johnson-Hinds, doesn't remain a playboy hook up.

The show is funny, when it's trying to be. With gags about current technology and issues transposed to a future. The technical aspects of running and maintaining a digital heaven are fun but the murder mystery occasionally acts like an anchor holding the show down. Particularly as threads of it, such as the murder of the investigator, are seemingly never discussed again. I'm prepared for anyone to say that I'm over thinking it, but I also struggled to follow the rules for touching and movement in and around the virtual world. Occasionally, when the plot wanted it too, you had to wear gloves or full suits for touching, whilst at other times it didn't seem to matter, occasionally Nora had to log in at work and at other times could access from home. Plus, at one point a character takes an object from the real world and hands it to a character in the virtual one.

I don't want to sound too down on a show that, as I say, I mostly enjoyed but it's not quite as top tier as I think, with a bit of refocusing, it could have been.

Wow just finished this amazing show . One word . AMAZING . The idea the execution , everything is Amazing . Cant wait for season 2 ..

Didn't think I'd enjoy this one as much as I did but wow. It surprised me from the first episode.

You could watch previous eps easily and not engage your brain much. However last ep tried to be smart and criminal which just turned ridiculously silly. This series is good as long as it does not pretend to be any good.

I had a concern as episodes went by that I didn't see it properly addressed at all, Nathan knew that his cousin Fran was investigating his "accident", which she already had some suspicions, however he though so little of his cousin that he brushed her off. Not that long after we see that Fran is killed in the same manner that Nathan was, the next episode Nathan is told by his niece, Nevaeh, that Fran is missing. Nathan had two opportunities to ask his mother about Fran, or even trying to call her, but he never did that. After Fran's death, the show treats her as she is a Jane Doe, why isn't anybody concerned that someone that was investigating an "accident" just disappeared? Not only that, her car ran over a pier fence on broad daylight and there is no news on that? Seems like a huge plothole to me.

Another issue I had, more specifically to this episode, is how Nora knew Nathan was downgraded to 2Gigs, even though she works for another department she is shown to be somewhat aware of how the 2Gigs work, and yet she didn't bother checking him with her VR - like she did earlier in the very same episode - and she just assumed he was ditching her after she said "I love you".

Something interesting though is that 2Gigs are aware that they ran out of data? Because the first thing Nathan says after Ingrid gives him 1 Giga is "I have to call her back", but when he ran out of data they were still on the phone. Shouldn't he said "I love you too" and Ingrid would love that and would make the impact of what she says after even bigger?
