Between the complications inherent in releasing movies during the COVID pandemic, lending his voice to animated features, and the limited theatrical runs enjoyed by most streaming studio fare, Relay marks Riz Ahmed’s return to the screen in a starring role. So it’s quite bold that for its first thirty minutes, we don’t hear his voice. […]

I’ll admit that I didn’t even remember that Upload, the intriguing if uneven, Prime Video comedy series had been granted a four-episode final season to wrap up the pretty intense cliffhanger we were left with at the end of season three.
