FIRST LOOK: Upload (TV Series) – Amazon

If 13 years from now in the future we were near death we could be uploaded in virtual reality hotels …. would you?

Science fiction is great for asking thought-provoking questions like this. We don’t see many sci-fi comedies very often. The animated Futurama comes to mind, but this is live action.

In 2033, people who are near death can be “uploaded” into virtual reality hotels run by 6 tech firms. Cash-strapped Nora lives in Brooklyn and works customer service for the luxurious “Lakeview” digital afterlife. When L.A. party-boy/coder Nathan’s self-driving car crashes, his high-maintenance girlfriend uploads him permanently into Nora’s VR world. Upload is created by Greg Daniels (The Office).
