I got 4 episodes into this trash before I gave up. The characters were all warped beyond any recognition. The plot and dialogue is cheesy and eye-roll inducing.
The biggest affront was them completely ruining Betty. Betty has been a role model of mine since I was a little kid. It was disgusting.
I told myself I'd go back and try to watch this again... but I can't justify wasting the time. I'd rather go watch grass grow in the desert.

This was a hit, and was already renewed for a 2nd season. In the not so distant future, people can live beyond death when their consciousness is uploaded to a cloud. Nathan, played by Robbie Arnell, dies in a strange and suspect car crash, and his slightly crazy fiance, who is basically a horrible, annoying person has him uploaded to the cloud.
Andy Allo, who plays Nathan's 'Guardian Angel', was the stand out for me. The angels are essentially customer service reps.
This series was funny, and a very quick watch. I highly recommend it.
