talktoomuch May 24, 2020 Share May 24, 2020 That program description is misleading to inaccurate. On 4/15/2020 at 11:00 PM, AnimeMania said: The luxurious “Lakeview” digital afterlife provides Nathan with his preferred version of heaven. Spoiler No. It didn't. It was Ingrid's family's preferred version of an afterlife. On 4/15/2020 at 11:00 PM, AnimeMania said: Nora carefully constructs an avatar of herself to develop a relationship with Nathan. Spoiler Also no. It was her regular "Angel" avatar. Dylan got the same one. And it's just her dressed up a bit. On 4/15/2020 at 11:00 PM, AnimeMania said: Ingrid who is funding this VR simulation isn't thrilled to learn about what’s currently going on with her VR boyfriend. Spoiler I mean...I guess. But coming right after the quoted sentence above implies Ingrid finds out about Nora's and Nathan's relationship. 1 Link to comment

You can't be that critical of an advertising blurb that came out a month before the show airs. I am just glad when I watched the trailer it made me want to watch the TV Series and I didn't regret it. Of course it it not going to be completely accurate, nobody likes spoilers. Link to comment

Why can't I criticize a trailer? I'm not new to tv nor misleading trailers. Who wants spoilers in a trailer? I don't like spoilers so I tend to avoid trailers, as I did this one. Still watched the show. Still liked it. Still think the trailer was needlessly untrue. I don't think show descriptions have to be inaccurate to avoid spoilers. They can be suggestive without being revealing. But describing something about the show that is not true, is not a trailer. You know, since that thing is not in the show it's supposed to be previewing. Reading this description after seeing the show made me think this particular trailer was written by someone who didn't actually watch the show. Because the things I pointed out above are just simply not true in the show. 1 Link to comment

talktoomuch May 26, 2020 Share May 26, 2020 Oh @AnimeMania. Well then ignore everything I said. As you can see, I do not watch/read trailers in general and this one made me so confused. As you were. Link to comment

Setting aside the description, which has already been addressed, trailers are put together by someone who didn’t watch the show. They are given footage and instructions for the tone but know very little about the show. Clearly Amazon wanted to appeal to the fan base of The Office. I agree with you that the trailer is misleading and portrayed it as a quirky comedy about the afterlife. I was expecting The Office mixed with The Good Place and instead got The Good Place mixed with Black Mirror. That’s why the first episodes reminded me very strongly of Downsizing. I enjoyed the series but am annoyed that we didn’t get the show from the trailer. Link to comment

No, that's The Good Place mixed with something else... some angsty marriage drama that I haven't watched yet, I guess. 1 Link to comment

AnimeMania May 26, 2020 Share May 26, 2020 I start a few of these threads for new shows and most of them get almost no traffic. I am just happy for the lively debate and excitement that this one generated, and I look forward to what season 2 will bring. 4 Link to comment

AnimeMania February 16, 2022 Share February 16, 2022 Exclusive: ‘Upload’ Creator Greg Daniels Teases Season 2 Storyline and Reveals They're Already Writing Season 3 Upload was originally a book that Greg Daniels was planning on writing that he transitioned into a TV screenplay. Daniels saw which characters were popular in Season 1 and expanded their roles in Season 2. The special effects are very heavy for the show and really slow down the release of the title. In an attempt to speed up the release process, Daniels is already half-way through writing a third season, even though the series has not been renewed yet. 1 Link to comment

Not sure that's going to happen. The best characters were definitely Nora and Aleesha and the worst were... well, nearly everyone in the afterlife. Link to comment

Night Cheese March 6 Share March 6 It's always such a relief when you check the media thread of a show you love, expecting the news to be that the show was abruptly canceled, but instead find that it has been renewed for a final season. I'm glad they will be able to wrap everything up,and hopefully close to how it was originally planned. The third season wasn't nearly as strong as the first two, but I'm glad they're ending it on their terms. 1 Link to comment
