About a month ago, I made a post about the Amazon series Upload. It turns out a surprising number of you had actually watched the show. So for those people, I want to let you know season 3 will start on October 20.

That's right, they cancelled The Peripheral but we're getting more Upload.

The complaints in the previous thread are legit: it's mostly a romcom, and there's lots of missed potential, but the important part is that it's a cyberpunk romantic comedy.

It isn't perfect, but it covers the interesting topics: inequality, the growing power of rich corporate owners, the commodification of life.

Perhaps the best part is that it does all that without black leather, chrome, or mirrorshades.

I didn't really get the complaints. The trailers made it pretty clear that the romcom thing is a part of the show. I like a lot of different sci-fi, but I could tell even before I watched the show that I could get people I know that don't like sci-fi to watch this.

Now... if they rolled out a Scary Mary trailer we'd all be having a different conversation.
