Upload is the little show that so many people are watching, but we are not talking about it like we talk about Stranger Things or Outlander. However, that hasn’t stopped the second season from being in the Top 10 of streaming viewership since its debut on March 11th. Because of that, Prime Video picked up the series for a third season.
“Upload has become a bonafide hit that continues to be one of the most watched comedy originals on Prime Video,” said Vernon Sanders, head of global television, Amazon Studios. “The series continues to connect and provoke endless possibilities for the future of technology and humanity. With Greg’s distinct comedic take along with the dynamic creative team and talented actors, they’ve made a globally relevant series which we’re all incredibly proud to bring back another season for our customers.”
Now, we get to find out what happens when Nathan (Robbie Amell) gets what everyone in the uploaded world wants. What does that mean? That means you are one of the few people who hasn’t seen the show. So, stop what you are doing and watch. You won’t be disappointed.
People are finding it on their own, but now you are finding it because of me! So, I am starting a GoFundMe to fund my trip to Lakeview. Therefore, if you like it, you need to contribute to my trip!
Lizzo needs some dancers for her tour, so she teamed up with Prime Video to find them. Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls is the search for the next big things! And I am not talking about their weight.
The 8-episode first season starts out where we get to meet these future Lizzo dancers, and we find out why they want to dance for one of the greatest singers of this generation. Each one of them has been discriminated against because of their size, but they can move better than skinnier women.
By the end of the episode, we will find out which of the 13 will move on to her top 10. It is during this first elimination that we learn Lizzo doesn’t play by the competition series playbook. Her eliminations are unlike any we have ever seen, and she will keep us on our toes because of it.
Now that we know who is going to move on, it is time for their first competition. The contestants will have to dance to a marching band. Through this challenge, we will get to see how well they learn choreography and how much stamina they have. That is because if they get the job, they will have to dance for 90 minutes every night for several nights a week.
This elimination shows what a huge heart Lizzo has as she talks to the 10 remaining dancers. As each episode goes on, they will confront their pasts and break on through them. They will learn about self-confidence and be proud of who they are in the skin that they are in. They will be challenged mentally and physically and come out better for it.
At the end of the day, we will find out who will dance at Bonaroo with Lizzo. And at the end of that performance, we find out who will get to go on tour with her.
All I can tell you is to expect the unexpected because nothing goes as other reality shows go. Because of that, I love every minute.
Think of it as America’s Top Model, but with heart. Lizzo is the anti-Tyra Banks. She supports all of her contestants and encourages them at every step of the game. Even the eliminations are positive, and they understand why they were eliminated. And they know it won’t be the last time we see them.
We need more reality hosts like Lizzo and more shows like Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls.
So stream it now because you will enjoy every second of it! And when was the last time you said that about a competition series?
Prime Video released the first trailer for the third season of The Boys, and my heart is racing.
It is going to be action-packed with the addition of Jensen Ackles. It is almost too much to handle. But I will find a way to do it. Because the anti-Superhero series is just that good.
So mark your calendars because you are not going to want to miss the season premiere on June 3rd.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is back with new episodes on Prime Video tomorrow, but today we are already getting news about the fifth season. And the news is not funny like Mrs. Maisel herself. That is because it will be the series’ final season.
“Amy, Dan, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel have blazed an unparalleled path, elevating the stories we tell about women, challenging the norms in our industry, and forever altering the entertainment landscape with their one-of-a-kind storytelling,” said Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon Studios. “The dozens of awards cement Maisel’s legacy in many ways, but what’s even more enduring and poignant are the characters Amy created and the joyous, brilliant, singular world she and Dan brought to life. This series has meant so much to Prime Video and the effects of its success will be felt long after its final season. I can’t wait for fans and our worldwide Prime Video audience to savor each moment as we embark on the culmination of this groundbreaking and unforgettable series.”
Before we get to season five, we still have to get through season four. The first two episodes are about to start streaming. And they take place shortly after Midge (Rachel Brosnahan) was left on the tarmac.
Midge is in a taxi with Susie (Alex Borstein), and she is declaring that her career is over. Therefore, she needs the money that she asked her manager to hold for her. The money her manager has spent. So how is Suzie going to get it back?
Better yet, how is Susie going to book Midge if she has been blacklisted? If it were up to Midge, she will only be a headliner. The only thing is that it is a man’s world, and she is a woman. So, she is going to try to take them on. Can she win at their game?
Talking about games, Midge and her whole family go to Coney Island to celebrate her son’s new birthday because his grandparents didn’t like his old one. All I will tell you is the scene on Wonder Wheel had me laughing hysterically. As an NYer, I could totally appreciate it.
As I did the scene where her parents (Tony Shaloub and Marin Hinkle) come up with a story how they bought the apartment back for Midge, instead of the other way around. Shaloub and Hinkle steal every scene they are in.
If this is what we are getting with the first two episodes of the season, I can’t wait to see what else we get in the next six that will be premiering two a week every Friday until March 11th.
CBS parted ways with the American Country Music awards, and Prime Video picked it up. Therefore, they wanted to go big, and they are. They asked Dolly Parton if she would do it, and she said yes!
Actually she said, “I am so excited to be hosting the ACM Awards on March 7 from Vegas. Watch for us because we’re going to have some fun.”
I am not a huge fan of Country Music or awards shows, but I am going to be watching this one because of Miss Dolly.
However, I don’t know why they think she needs co-hosts to help her. She can do it all by herself unless they are thinking of asking Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin to do it!
One last note, the reason why they were able to get Parton to do it, is she releasing her album Run Rose Run on March 4th. You can get exclusive merchandise on Amazon to go with the record and the book which accompanies it that comes out on April 5th.
