The seven-episode second season will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories around the world. a “hug-suit,” a scuba-looking suit that a human can put on to physically feel things or have sex in the metaverse) and a complex love triangle.įans were left with more questions than answers surrounding a potential murder. In the first season of the series, fans were introduced to the digital afterlife, near-future technology (i.e. You can watch the Upload Season 2 trailer below and keep scrolling down for more photos! In one of his other quotes, Nwachukwu-the same African writer in the introduction-said, “Whoever is not confined to a coffin should celebrate, even if life is all he has.” Maybe it’s time to take that to heart.Prime Video ( try it free) today revealed the official Upload Season 2 trailer, which previews the new episodes debuting on the streaming service Friday, March 11. ‘Upload’ is a backhand across our faces for thinking technology’s got nothing on us, and that we are winning at this game of life. Stunner Allegra Edwards’ Ingrid is what plastic princesses must feel like in real life: enticing people with money, ugh! Even in his dirty-comical ways, Kevin Bigley’s Luke is the closest one can get to having a real dear friend in, say, 2050. From the second-third-lead line-ups, we would say Zainab Johnson shines with her sassy Aleesha. The show has also worked on enhancing the lives of its parallel actors they have all risen to the occasion. This season may have focused on the bigger picture-mostly capitalism-but the duo’s crackling chemistry has only gotten better with time. Robbie Amell’s romantic track with Andy Allo in season one was what caught global attention, initially. With humour that relies more on the overall setting to land-not the actors to deliver-and a satirical overtone that’s so subtle that you miss it if you aren’t glued to the screen, one can say ‘Upload’ is a sad reflection of a sad incident called life, and the drama ‘After’ it. In it’s easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy orchestration, ‘Upload’ both mocks and marvels at the advancement of technology, and how very little humans have learnt of its hazardous nature. It wins brownie points even further when the intent reveals itself: there are no heavy-duty life lessons to mug or judgements for those who do want to roll over to the other side of the fence-Aleesha wants a big house, and that’s that! That’s squashing the roots of inequality in simple, coherent terms. “I know, and it is exhausting,” explains Nathan. Sometimes, wisdom comes in small sachets and this seven-part series is a testament to that. With no inclusion of past civil movements for authenticity or any of the high-sounding theories pertaining to elitism, ‘Upload’ cuts straight to the chase: technology has our future by the throat, and it is the downtrodden who will feel the pinch the most. And to take that complex phenomena and drill it down to something so simple, yet fascinating, speaks volumes about the makers’ of ‘Upload’ (Amazon Prime Video) and their ability to tell stories, simply. Nathan, in clear terms, has expressed his desire to destroy those who must feed off of the hungry, but without an iota of support from the Ludds-the orthodox anti-upload afterlife body that believes in self-sustainable living post death, that is-how is he going to save the have-nots from losing whatever little they have?Įveryone’s take on the shifty subject of Afterlife is similar to their opinions on UFO sightings on Area 51-religions, cults, spiritual gurus and even atheists have a thing or two to say about that!-there have been convincing testimonials over the decades, but no one knows for sure. And he also knows that the flag bearers of capitalism are down to monetising the last breadcrumb that a poor can get his hands on. Although flattered by her desperate gesture, Nathan knows he needs to be with Nora. Here, Ingrid’s (Allegra Edwards) high-class loneliness prompts her to, in the spur of the moment, upload her consciousness to the digital heaven of ‘Lake View’, where Nathan is stationed, too-with concierge service, which includes AI catering and Live Angel Streaming, among other fantabulous privileges at their disposal-run by tech giant Horizen. REVIEW: African writer Vincent Okay Nwachukwu once said, “Death cannot kill love,” and that conception is the anchor that pushes ‘Upload’ Season 2’s story to the sea.Īfter the debut season’s intense ending, we learn that Nathan (Robbie Amell) cannot get Nora (Andy Allo) out of his mind, who is MIA at the moment. If not Team Rich, then who would take a web developer out for-seemingly-nothing? ‘Upload’ S2 is that scary realization that even in death, no one is truly free. STORY: Nathan Brown’s life was cut short because someone wanted to monetise poverty, and it is not his arrogant girlfriend’s father.
