Be it the unique combination of different genres, likable oddball characters engaging in silly antics, incredible meme-making potential, or important social and psychological issues the series often addressed, Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy was a hot favorite binge-worthy series among netizens. With steadily strong reception throughout the first three seasons, it was expected that the fourth and final season would end with a proper send-off to the beloved characters, bringing much-deserving closure to their arcs in the process. However, in reality, the fourth season has turned out to be hastily put together without a head or tail. Right from a storyline that makes little to no sense to the atrocious treatment of the characters and an unsatisfactory conclusion to the overarching story, every major and minor aspect came together to make the final season the worst one to date. So much so that fans are willing to deny its existence altogether.

We all have shortcomings but in Shortcomings, all the characters have them in abundance. This funny, smart, modern comedy follows the lives and misadventures of Ben Tanaka, his best friend Alice Kim (comedian Sherry Cola) and his girlfriend Miko Hayashi (actress/fashion maven Ally Maki) as the San Francisco Bay area twenty-somethings navigate relationships and just real life. Based on the graphic novel of the same name by Adrian Tomine, Shortcomings is filled with laugh-out-loud humor and sharp, witty dialog in a real-life tale that also shows the variety of Asian American experience.
