What to Know

Critics Consensus

Mae Whitman and Carlos Valdes are a likable enough pair, but Up Here is let down by a thin story that knocks its melody off-key.

Judy Berman TIME Magazine What elevates Up Here are the surreal musical numbers, which illuminate why Lindsay and Miguel keep sabotaging their relationship. Mar 27, 2023 Full Review Brian Lowry CNN.com The music can’t mask the thinness of the story, translating into a pretty flat episodic rom-com, just with a better-than-average beat. Mar 24, 2023 Full Review Daniel D'Addario Variety A lovely and thoughtful series that is particularly well-acted: Whitman is likely overdue for a leading role like this, and her singing is sweet and tuneful, as is her chemistry with Valdes. Mar 24, 2023 Full Review Joe Reid Primetimer Whitman and Valdes are both tremendously charming and talented, and the two-handed nature of the narrative balances them quite well. Aug 6, 2023 Full Review Steve Murray ArtsATL I’ve found the first handful of episodes small, overly cute and cloying. The stakes feel painfully small... May 1, 2023 Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media Up Here takes its time warming up, it's true, but the rewards are worth waiting for. Rated: 3/5 Mar 31, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

petrs l It is lovely and fun, with great characters and acting. The music is fabulous. It is very insightful and takes us through the thought process that some of us go through when we fall in love. The chemistry between the two of them is powerful! I 100% recommend it! And I hope there is a 2nd season. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/22/25 Full Review Lola T Fabulous! Love the story, acting, chemistry, cadence, songs, wisdom, and everything. It is a refreshing and innovative concept, and I hope it is just the first one of many! The couple is precious and their powerful stories are impactful. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/23/23 Full Review Valeria M Se ami il musical e i fraintendimenti romantici, questa serie ti regalerà momenti di divertimento e profondità. Il testo della canzone di punta nasconde molta saggezza nella sua gradevole semplicità. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/17/23 Full Review Eric R It was alright but most of it just fell kinda flat. I don't think the leads were strong enough to carry a show like this, and the whole will they - won't they back and forth between them got old so quick that by the end of it I couldn't really care any less whether they would get together or not. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/16/23 Full Review Sunshine I I ugly laughed through the whole thing. "Up Here" is refreshingly blunt, hilarious, and full of awkwardly cringy yet painfully relatable scenes. The music is wonderfully entertaining and the chronography in the background was visually fun and pleasing. This show really engages it's audience and keeps you interested from moment to moment and invested in the main characters. Carlos and Katie (playing Miguel and Lindsay) portray such powerful emotions and the connection between two lonely human beings trying to find their place in the world and learn who they are and what they want out of life. 11/10 definitely reccomend and will be watching it again and again! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/21/23 Full Review Liz B I'm always a sucker for musicals! Such a great successor to shows like Crazy Ex Girlfriend and Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist. So well done, it made me feel like I was watching a Broadway musical with each number, and the main characters were so entirely relatable. Hoping for more!
