19. Upload – Season 1 (2020)

In the near future of 2033, Nathan is working on a free version of the software that runs the digital afterlife, only to be uploaded to one of the poshest versions around after his self-driving care malfunctions and crashes. Nora is an “Angel” who works at Lakeview, in charge of Nathan’s comfort and digital appearance in his forever-after. Sparks fly! And we’re not talking about the crashed car. As a relative investigates the circumstances about Nathan’s death, Nora discovers that some of Nathan’s memories are corrupted. Could it be that Nathan was murdered for his altruistic work?

Vinnk and Sean review one of the most inventive and prescient series of the modern day on the eve of the end of the WGA strike. A world where everyone’s lives and even now their afterlife has been commoditized by ever-merging corporations like Nokia Taco Bell and Panera Facebook, nearly every issue from 3D body scanning to AI to cutting corners on scripting comes to bear in the fiction of one of the most clever written shows on television. And somehow it was renewed for not one but two seasons, the latest one premiering on October 20th, 2023!
