What to Know

Critics Consensus

Mae Whitman and Carlos Valdes are a likable enough pair, but Up Here is let down by a thin story that knocks its melody off-key.

Judy Berman TIME Magazine Mar 27, 2023
What elevates Up Here are the surreal musical numbers, which illuminate why Lindsay and Miguel keep sabotaging their relationship. Go to Full Review Brian Lowry CNN.com Mar 24, 2023
The music can’t mask the thinness of the story, translating into a pretty flat episodic rom-com, just with a better-than-average beat. Go to Full Review Daniel D'Addario Variety Mar 24, 2023
A lovely and thoughtful series that is particularly well-acted: Whitman is likely overdue for a leading role like this, and her singing is sweet and tuneful, as is her chemistry with Valdes. Go to Full Review Joe Reid Primetimer Aug 6, 2023
Whitman and Valdes are both tremendously charming and talented, and the two-handed nature of the narrative balances them quite well. Go to Full Review Steve Murray ArtsATL May 1, 2023
I’ve found the first handful of episodes small, overly cute and cloying. The stakes feel painfully small... Go to Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media Mar 31, 2023

stacey v @RT01592253 Jan 4, 2026 Just one episode in, but this is good. I usually hate musicals except on stage, but I love the way the songs balance out the heaviness of the topic. It;s exactly as socially awkward as me- which is probably why it resonates. See more Mauricio A @RT88398156 Oct 3, 2025 Up Here has an interesting premise, that the two main characters have voices in their head from the past that are distracting and misleading. The ending is deeply romantic. It's too bad they didn't get a second season. See more petrs l @petrs Mar 22, 2025 It is lovely and fun, with great characters and acting. The music is fabulous. It is very insightful and takes us through the thought process that some of us go through when we fall in love. The chemistry between the two of them is powerful! I 100% recommend it! And I hope there is a 2nd season. See more Valeria M @RT79226038 Jun 17, 2023 Se ami il musical e i fraintendimenti romantici, questa serie ti regalerà momenti di divertimento e profondità. Il testo della canzone di punta nasconde molta saggezza nella sua gradevole semplicità. See more Liz B @RT69911731 Apr 4, 2023 I'm always a sucker for musicals! Such a great successor to shows like Crazy Ex Girlfriend and Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist. So well done, it made me feel like I was watching a Broadway musical with each number, and the main characters were so entirely relatable. Hoping for more! See more Maija A @RT40761708 Mar 28, 2023 I adore and love Mae Withman but this show sucks, from bad writing to music. She's better than this show.. See more Read all reviews
