Wow! You and all the folks who made this excellent tv show totally deserve it. I never watch tv and a friend bugged me into tracking Upright down. So worth it. May you and yours continue making good stuff like this. I loved it.
I am so thrilled that Tim, Milly and the rest of the cast got the recognition they deserve for this brilliant series. Tim was outstanding and I am so excited that he was the recipient of the best comedy performance award. I have watched this several times on Sundance Now and have found new nuggets every time. The songs that underscore the action were masterfully chosen. I laughed, I cried, I winced (a beaten up Tim and Trouser the snake were tough for me) and I cheered. It was perfect! Well done!
