Plot: Upload completes with an explosive conclusion! In the four-part series finale event, sentient AI rapidly turns evil, threatening to wipe out Lakeview (and the world!). On top of greedy executives, lingering mysteries, plus heartbreak in VR and IRL, our characters are tested like never before. The only way they can get through it all and save humanity from deletion is by teaming up one last time.
The final Season of Upload was Good.
Pros: The chemistry from all of the actors are still here. They did a fitting conclusion to Nathan and Nora and Ingrid love triangle. Aleesha had a serious upgrade playing super spy. It still delivered humour & dramatics quite well & the ending was bittersweet where Nora still has secure Nathan’s memories.
Cons: A shame this last season was just four episodes. The how they dealt with horizon felt rushed and even thrown out. They could of down with the other A.I.s & I wasn’t notified this final season was coming out.
