This Amazon TV show surprised me. I think it's a romantic drama-comedy in a futuristic world. The humor is all over the place, mixed in with the drama. It is also subtle at times, and after having read other reviews, realized I missed some. But, for me, the more important thing is the main line, the impossible love story. This show brought me to tears. I know one way it succeeded in accomplishing this: it took the time to develop the characters. At the beginning the budding couple is charming and amusing. Then, over the 10 episodes it evolves into a deep love story where you feel for this couple, you get engaged, you really want them to succeed, be together. And you feel so sorry when they hit some obstacles.
The ideas about a world where you can upload your mind into virtual reality have been explored many times over in science-fiction. Recently, Altered Carbon, a Netflix series based on the books by Richard K. Morgan, did a great job of extending this notion to uploading it straight into another body artificially created for this purpose. Upload has a different take. It shows us a world where it's only used to save your mind into a virtual reality, a computer construct. And it's not cheap. About that, I really liked how the inequality issues of society make it even into a virtual world. But, In retrospect, I think that the main topic is really the relationship between bios (still alive) with uploaded people. Just that fills so much of the show, as it raises so many questions. Watch it, it's a fun, wonderful show and it will gives you a few things to think about regarding your life and other's too.
