Launched by The Office (US) and Parks & Recreation creator Greg Daniels back in 2020, Upload starred Robbie Amell as Nathan Brown, a computer programmer who was uploaded to a digital afterlife just moments before his physical body died.
This hybrid of The Good Place and Black Mirror dipped a bit in season 3, but with just four episodes left to wrap everything up, Upload's final season is much more focused, and all the better for it.
One of these two versions called Nora and Ingrid up in the finale to reveal that the other Nathan had been destroyed. But which one? Who's just lost the love of their life? That's where we kick off at the start of the fourth and final season.
Upload season 4 ending explained: What happened to Nora and Nathan?
Three episodes in, Nathan finally escapes and arrives at Nora's door, ready to kick off the end of Upload for one last chapter.
Meanwhile, Ingrid is pushing her version of Nathan to finally download into a new clone body so that they can be together in the real world. He's a bit nervous though, because ageing and death are kind of a thing when you're stuck with a human body.
Human Nathan isn't feeling so good, and a hospital visit with Nora reveals that his neurons have somehow been moved back and forth, inflaming his neural pathways to the point where he could soon die. That's because of the 150+ uploads his kidnappers at Betta put Nathan through.
Virtual Nathan suggests to his bestie Luke that he join him and Ingrid in the real world because he can't afford the costs to stay in Lakeview much longer. But their chat is soon interrupted when they spot the rogue AI guy throwing people into the torrent, erasing them completely because they're no longer making money for the company.
While Nathan and Luke help survivors get away, an automatic failsafe switches off the torrent, cutting the rogue AI off from leaving Lakeview. And with that, the company plans to delete Lakeview entirely, which would also kill off the people inside. Aleesha's boss doesn't care though, referring to them all as "data" which can be easily expunged.
Meanwhile, the 'midtown healer' who Nathan and Nora visit for help turns out to be another AI guy from Lakeview, the one who was downloaded to a real human body earlier on in the show. Ingrid and Aleesha show up too, asking the AI guy to return to Lakeview because he's the only one who can stop the rogue AI, saving Luke and digital Nathan in the process.

Together, they both start to leave via the tubes, but then when Luke spots the rogue AI heading towards the torrent, he races after him and sends him back to the Lakeview villa. It's only a temporary solution though, because the rogue AI quickly returns and throws Luke into the torrent, taking his life in the process.
While all that action was taking place, the finale intercut these scenes with Nora and the real Nathan making the most of the time they had left. And yes, it's even sadder than you'd expect.
"I wish we had made it to Montreal," says Nathan, reminiscing on their plans to get married. But then, using the VR simulation she retreated to so often in her mourning, Nora makes that a (virtual) reality for them both.
As they walk through this virtual life together one last time, Nora asks Nathan what his favourite part of living was.
Sitting on a bench together, Nathan and Nora wish each other happy birthday, happy new year, and a good morning, sharing everything that they won't be able to anymore when Nathan's gone.
"You don’t have to be sad," Nathan continues, "or feel like I missed out on anything. I had everything. Everything I ever was, I saved it for you. You are my angel, Nora, the love of my life… This one and the next one and the one after."
Despite all the back and forth between this and the action-driven scenes that took place at Lakeview, this really was the most beautiful way Nora and Nathan's story could have come to an end. It's painful, yes, but it's also really well done, perhaps the best moment from this entire series.
Upload then abruptly (and unfortunately) cuts back to some infantile humour (literally) with clips of "Botox Babies" and an interview where Ingrid and her version of Nathan, now in a real cloned body, talk through where they're at.
Ingrid is pregnant — "From pretty much the moment [Nathan] downloaded, he’s been inside of me" — and they're planning to name the baby after Luke, who's being recognised as the "hero who saved Lakeview, and possibly humanity".
They don't know what's happened to Nora since her Nathan died, but we do, because Upload then cuts to her sitting outside a coffee shop at the real Mile End. It's the same coffee shop we saw Nora and Nathan share those last few moments together in the simulation.
Upon accepting, the words "NATHAN BROWN SCAN 2" appear on the tablet's screen. Yep, it seems a digital version of Nathan has survived. Why it took so long to appear to Nora, we have no idea, and we never will, because that's where the show ends, with the promise of Nora reuniting again with at least some version of Nathan.
But however you might feel about it, Upload is now gone for good too, ending with a short but sweet final season.
