    I watched the Amazon Prime series ‘Upload’ a couple months ago and it’s basically an eight-hour condemnation of every shitty neoliberal consequence

    Would you recommend it?

      Its alright, thinks it's funnier than it is. Feels like PMC snark on society but doesn't really have any path to a solution. Worth an episode or two to see if you're into it.

      It's a deeply sardonic, somewhat high-concept take on a neoliberal dystopian near-future. Hits the nail on the head a few times. If you already have Amazon Prime or can easily pirate stuff then I'd say it's worth giving a shot. Like I said, whether the writers are aware of it or not, they wrote a fairly competent bit of anti-liberal agitprop.
