I felt like this season didn’t have as much of a conclusive finale. While this season is a banger, there are a couple of issues. When you get to the last two episodes you’ll see what I mean! THE BAD Both actually included the same character, and really helps you react a certain way to what they’re doing. The music as well was really good! There were two tracks in particular, one that set a badass mystery vibe and another that felt more scary, helping to shift the tone from the levity of the rest of the show. I will leave it there for the sake of avoiding spoilers, but I did not expect the show to go that far, and I loved that. This show has always had accurate criticisms of capitalism, but this season really ups the ante and is even more relevant. I thought of him like a video game character just running their code, when I had to remind myself, “no, that’s a real person!” It’s a simple thing really, but his performance really helps to make Lakeview feel like a digital world. Daniels’ performance is so strong that I constantly forgot that he was an actual person when watching the show. guys running around to help all the residents in a variety of ways (in the elevator, as the concierge, as waiters, etc.). The show would not be the same without Owen Daniels as A.I. (L-R): Andrea Rosen (Lucy), Zainab Johnson (Aleesha) Credit: Amazon Studios There are also a few hilarious moments that rely on the VFX since it’s more of a visual joke, which I personally have not seen before in a live-action show. Whether it’s an actor’s instant wardrobe change in Lakeview, an avatar glitching, the establishing shots of future New York and Los Angeles, or the invisible VFX we don’t notice, this show would not work without the visuals being at a very high level. The visual effects this season continue to wow. The visual effects play into this as well, which makes the show feel immersive. Nora gets some great moments for Andy Allo to really show her acting talent this season, but for the sake of spoilers I won’t tell you how! A non-spoiler example is seeing Aleesha (Zainab Johnson) or Nora in their VR headsets at their desks, then appearing into Lakeview, and the shots go back and forth between the two settings throughout the scene. I’m usually not a fan of binging shows, and I think this was the first time I actually watched seven episodes of something in a row, but after my first watch, I rewatched the whole thing the following day! That should tell you something! The show is very rewatchable and might be a bit funnier that last season!Īll the acting talent in this show are exceptional, but especially the actors whose characters spend their time in both the real world, and in Lakeview. Watching the plot unfold was a real treat.
There actually may be more major plot reveals in this season, which I loved.
I think this season actually handles thrilling moments and plot twist moments better than the last. I thought every episode was strong, as the pacing is very well done, with my favorite episodes being 203 – ‘Robin Hood’, 205 – ‘Mind Frisk’, and 206 – ‘The Outing’! Be it the mystery, the humor, or the romance, season two captures the magic of season one while expanding on the world of 2033, and Nathan’s murder. It feels like exactly the same show, but in the best way.
Fortunately, Upload manages to continue the momentum set by season one.

Sometimes with big TV shows, the second season isn’t as good as the first, or the quality diminishes. (L-R): Allegra Edwards (Ingrid), Robbie Amell (Nathan) Credit: Amazon Studios THE GOOD Season 2 of Upload is more relevant than ever, an emotional jaw dropping ride every step of the way. We get some answers and some brand new questions, but let’s get into the review of season two! The show also continues the heavy hitting criticism of capitalism and further explores the true nature of Nathan’s murder. This season has a lot of heavy, emotional beats that are matched with its humor. Ingrid later takes Nathan back out of 2gig, and then the rest of the season is a thrilling, sci-fi romantic comedy ride just like last time. While Nathan is frozen in 2gig, Nora is taken in by the Ludds, people who reject technology (as well as uploading) and are off the grid. Upload begins where we left off last season in 2gig, after the jaw-dropping revelation that Ingrid, Nathan’s girlfriend (played by Allegra Edwards), uploaded to be with Nathan when he runs out of data and instantly freezes. He is in Lakeview, a digital life extension owned by the tech giant Horizen.

Upload, the sci-fi rom com by Greg Daniels, is back for a second season on Amazon Prime Video! The series takes place in the near future, 2033, when people can “upload” their consciousness to a digital afterlife (owned by various mega corporations), and that’s where we find our main character Nathan played by Robbie Amell.
