Upload S3 — Season 3

I enjoyed the first 2 seasons a lot more than season 3

I think now they dragged it on to long still good thou

Season 3 was quite a disappointment. It has become a very strange mashup of light, wacky comedy and dark drama that simply does not work.

Season 1 was pretty good, season 2 was so so, season 3 (albeit I'm only 3 episodes in) is crap! Dull as dishwater with a story that's gone beyond fantastical to plain stupid. Doubt I'll persevere to the end on this one if it doesn't improve. Bin list coming up.

At least it's still consistently funny.

Upload Season 1 was fun. Upload Season 2 was interesting. It was so interesting even with that awful missing episode jump it still mostly worked. Upload Season 3 doesn't know if it wants to be a sequel to Season 1 or to Season 2. It tries to be both at the same time. It's like they saw Severance and really didn't want to hit that "oh man it's kinda dull what's even happening here?" tone for even a single moment so it just yo-yo's back and forth between light and heavy, high and low stakes, fun and serious. It has an identity crisis. And yet again it ramps up the stakes at the end and I'm invested on a moment to moment level. But the world building is just so incohesive. Is Lucy bad or Lucy good. Will anyone tell? Is there a conspiracy? Does it matter? What about the plight of the poor is this a serious thing or just a joke that we'll think about later? Hey remember rebels? That was a fun detour. The show is about the dynamic of a worker and a customer so Nora keeps being a worker regardless of if it makes sense for her character. Honestly I gotta give it to Allegra Edwards her Ingrid is somehow one of the most realized characters in the show. I don't like her character but she brings life to every scene. She's putting her heart and soul into this for whatever reason every scene no pauses. I kinda hate Ingrid for most of the show's run but she's a full person and I get her. In part because of how shallow and stunted her character is they don't need to do anything to her and so they don't and they let her character flourish and don't ruin her. Which is a wierd thing to admit they're doing to EVERY other characters. Nathan, Nora, Aleesha, Luke. They're all over the map this season. Highs and lows and askews.

I want a Season 4 but after this I'm not convinced it'll be worth the wait.
