I don't binge watch shows in general, unless they're true crime. I find Greg Daniels, the creator, very hit or miss.
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.

So Good

This isn't what I expected it to be like at all. Sci-fi I generally expect to have strange looking aliens and stuff , and this did but it was a gradual thing. We started off on Earth and slowly transition to Ethar, new words which are explained, new creatures also explained. New everything, all of which was explained. We weren't just dumped in the middle of the world and left to fend for ourselves.

Then add in the romance element and I was hooked. It was soooo goooood! Even went and bought the second and third books at the half way point through this. Off to start book 2 now!!!
