It goes down really smoothly, a light-on-its-feet story with a high chuckles-per-minute ratio. Go to Full Review Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic May 7, 2020
As a philosophical projection, buffeted by the jaunty humor and irreverently satirical eye of its creator, Greg Daniels (The Office, Parks and Recreation), it makes an argument that's hard to counter. Go to Full Review Aaron Phillips But Why Tho? Dec 28, 2023

At times, Upload drags, and you wish its vibe were a bit punchier and more absurd. However, this show is concerned with having a heart, and it's hard to find fault with that. Go to Full Review Donnie Lopez Black Girl Nerds Jul 4, 2020
3/5
