I mean, come on!! Do you really have to do that? I think it hurts reviews more than it benefits them. I like the show myself, but I honestly get annoyed when that happens. It's okay to make people wait for maybe a week or two to know what happened, but to do that on a season's finale is just plain annoying.

Overall, good episode, not a bad season. But the thing is, there are constantly jumpings and time gaps between episodes that keeps making me think, did I miss an episode in the middle or something? I hope all that changes to the best next season, and I actually hope for a little suspense in the first episodes cuz the build up to the finale is always too slow.

In my review of season two of "Upload" I used the term 'grudging completionism' as to why I was still watching it. I think that, had it not been announced that the fourth season will be the last, I'd be drawing a line under it here but, as I'm so close to the end, I will watch the fourth run.

Having uploaded into a real body again, Nathan (Robbie Amell) tries to begin a relationship with Nora (Andy Allo) in the real world. They continue to investigate the business dealings of Horizen, and return disk drives of people to their families but Nathan is hiding that his body may be failing. Panicking about there not being a version of Nathan at Lakeview anymore, Tinsley (Mackenzie Cardwell) restores him from a backup. This back up doesn't remember leaving Ingrid (Allegra Edwards) for Nora, a fact that Ingrid decides to exploit.

My problem remains that "Upload" is neither fish nor fowl. Admittedly mixing genres can work for an interesting and inventive time, but it doesn't here, for me anyway, and "Upload" has too much daft humour to work as a comedy drama, but too much convoluted plot to work as a sitcom. I don't know if it's my brain, that is conditioned to work one way with what I perceive as a comedy, but almost none of the plot points of this show will stick in my head. I don't remember who killed Nathan, I only vaguely remember why, I couldn't remember what the court case that leads into the conclusion of the series was about. It might be that, or it might be that I actually only care about the love story between Nora and Nathan and, like in all these shows, it's another occasion where the show no longer works once that "will they won't they" is concluded. That is slightly untrue though, as I also care about Ingrid, and again it's all the credit to Allegra Edwards that what would have been a one note rich girl character is imbued with enough heart that I sympathise with her.

Let's not go overboard, generally it's amiable enough stuff that I don't hate my time with it, but, as I say, were it not for the confirmation that the show is ending with the next run, I think I've had my fill.
