Not the best show by any means due to pacing and scenes that just don't flow at times but I find Upload to be a realistic horror show of the modern world ahead for us and future generations. The poverty in the new world is a little too realistic for me along with how filtered the world becomes especially without money. They have really nailed some of these aspects while taking shots at what I would call the Amazonification of the world. I'm surprised Amazon is allowing it. Enshitification of the world plays out too.
The hat tipping of the world ahead is more subtle than that of Travellers. The latter was dealing with a horrific future world of survival due to a lack of those today giving a crap about the future which might not be worse than a shift of reality like Upload is trying to portray. Both are real horror shows to me beyond the usual stab stab, guts, blood of many shows today.
Beyond these current interests it's the usual suspects of Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Mr Robot, Deadwood, Dead Like Me, IT Crowd, Mad Men, first season of American God's, Community...
