With “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” ineligible and “Fleabag” done, Amazon Prime is looking to keep its foot in the door for comedy television honors from the Golden Globes, SAG Awards and the Critics’ Choice TV Awards. One of the more promising opportunities for Amazon this cycle is its futuristic afterlife comedy “Upload.”
Created by Emmy winner Greg Daniels, the show takes place in the not-too-distant future and centers on Nathan Brown (Robbie Amell). Nathan is a computer programmer who is seriously injured in a car accident. Told that he is likely to die from his injuries, he chooses to have himself “uploaded” into a digital afterlife where he can still interact with the world of the living. While there, he begins developing a close relationship with his living handler, Nora (Andy Allo), but also has to deal with his very controlling living girlfriend, Ingrid (Allegra Edwards).
