i feel like casting Robbie Amell is a fantastic way to achieve peak mediocrity. i can't think of a single performance of his where i was impressed. seems to be more the fault of the showrunners as there's nothing objectively bad about him or his delivery, he just loves mediocre shows and movies?
Upload is no exception. in broad strokes, the concepts and ideas explored by the show are interesting and original. but it doesn't really make any statements and it's not brave in any way, so it comes off as cringy and "tropy".
it also really bothers me how they apparently spent zero dollars on technical consulting. 2gb for a fully interactive VR environment? how does simply putting on VR goggles allow the system to show your expressions and hand gestures and movement? there are so many irritating, incredibly stupid hand-waves happening that could have been done way better with just a little bit of thought or explanation.
Upload is great background noise, just don't pay too much attention to it and you'll enjoy it.
