Sitcoms + sci-fi have been on the rise in recent years, such as the well-known animation "Rick and Morty", "The Good Place" which was just finished last year, and of course the film "Uploading Freshmen". Excluding the animation, Shandi and this work are both low-cost and high-concept representatives. They did not adopt the model of a unit drama. Instead, each episode of about ten episodes does not exceed half an hour. It tells a compact and coherent story, which is almost overnight. A must-have drama series, and the director of this work, Jeffrey Britz, I also like it very much. In 17 years, a pseudo-documentary-style "Full Strike" was amazing. outstanding)
But I have to say that Britz’s style is slightly old-fashioned compared to the recent up-and-coming sitcoms "Atlanta" and "London Life". He will still add hilarious jokes to the sensational aspects of the tradition. The second season focused deeply on race. When Shandi won the Hugo Award for Best Drama Performance for two consecutive years, his works seemed to be a bit rigid in form. Open "Uploading New Life" with a trace of worry, there are many unexpected, and there is also a plot arrangement of a second to cry and laugh a second, but it focuses on love, and the consciousness of uploading the love of the age, you I can see some shadows of the movie "She", the black mirror S3E4, S4E4, where the immortal world is not a utopia, it is still the continuation of the real world, the gap between the rich and the poor, some people open the door to a picturesque castle, Some people only have 2G traffic a month, and even thinking is expensive. The female protagonist is a commuter who shuttles in the subway. The male protagonist died in a bizarre accident. After uploading, they became the belongings of their current girlfriends. They could not touch each other. , But still has a hot love. The concept of sci-fi here may not be able to withstand further studies, but with the unique perspective of sci-fi, to explore the most authentic human emotions, whether in the future or now, many things can overcome barriers and shine.
