Overview

Upload is a science fiction comedy-drama TV-show telling about Nathan Brown, an ambitious young programmer, and entrepreneur. He has a stunningly beautiful girl from a wealthy family; he is working on an interesting project that should bring good dividends and solve a serious social problem. Suddenly Nathan gets into a car accident. After, his consciousness is digitized and placed in an ultra-detailed virtual reality.

The only problem is that Nathan's account on a costly and prestigious afterlife server, Lake View, is owned by his girlfriend, who can erase his identity in the event of a quarrel. Nathan's memory files are not all right; some memories are damaged; it is noticed by Nora, the Lake View support staff member.

Upload is not a dark dystopia with a detective story, but rather a romantic comedy with social satire elements.

Upload criticizes intrusive online ads, in-app purchases, software glitches, and careless attitude to users' personal data; irresponsible behavior of users themselves, AI and bots; the obsession of online service owners and ordinary users with five-star ratings; extra-budget air travel, etc.

Upload creator Greg Daniels is best known for his work on Saturday Night Live, The Simpsons, The Office, Parks and Recreation, and King of the Hill. If you like the style and humor of the above shows, you will most likely like Upload.
