Set in the near future, this sci-fi comedy follows a young computer programmer named Nathan, who — after dying before his time — is able to "upload" himself into a virtual afterlife in a place called Lake View (because, according to Upload, that's a thing that can be done in 2033). It's wildly original, and it's not a surprise that this one has already been renewed for a second season.
