Featured reviews
The Umbrella Academy is such an incredible show that really should be entertaining to all types of different people! I would absolutely recommend it to any superhero fan, action fan, sci-fi fan or drama fan because it has something for fans of all those genres! It may start a little slow for some while it builds up the story and characters, but it gets better and better as the story progresses. The first 3 seasons were all amazing, I can say there's very little drop in quality in those seasons but this last season feels rushed (even though they had 2yrs to get it done)! I may be a little biased because I'm such a huge fan of superhero movies/shows and while I have to say The Umbrella Academy isn't my absolute favorite one, it's still really good and very entertaining! It really brings a fresh take to the genre and has something that everyone can enjoy.
Really enjoyed this show but the last season completely felt out of sync with the whole show. Ended in such a dumb way. It had potential but this seemed like a huge after thought. None of the characters except for Claude seemed like themselves. It's so sad they have so much trouble ending these shows on a good note. This season while it has some interesting parts there was so much missing and most of the characters did nothing. Why so short also. Getting really tired of these 6 episode season where the writing is crap and nothing happens and it's called a season much less a series finally. Blah.
Very entertaining series about superheroes, where superheroes have a life, a character, dramas and traumas...
But what in my opinion raises it above the already good series is the use of music in the movie. Remarkable, impressive, needs to recognized with an award. It's been years (pulp fiction?) since I saw such a perfect use of music for the last time!
I have absolutely loved The Umbrella Academy ever since the very first episode. I even enjoyed this last season (s3) a lot more than most. It's unlike any other superhero type show there is. It's just such an original and unique show. It has everything you want in a good show...action, drama, comedy, suspense, twists, etc. It will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the series! Every character is so well written, they all have superhero powers but also real life problems that they all have to deal with both individually and as a family. It's too bad that this last season (s4) was so bad. I liked the first 3 seasons so much and was looking forward to this ending and what we got was extremely disappointing. The entire season was a mess, especially the ending.
Robert Sheehan as Klaus for me is the best thing about this show. Overall it got better as it went on. Looking forward to a new season.
