    Summary

    Reviewers say 'The Umbrella Academy' is appreciated for its unique superhero action, humor, and family drama. The quirky characters and strong performances, especially from Robert Sheehan and Aidan Gallagher, are praised. The engaging storyline and music enhance the experience. However, some criticize inconsistent writing, pacing issues, and a disappointing final season. Despite these flaws, many find the series entertaining and innovative within the superhero genre.

    Season 1-2 good, 3-4 trash

    After season 2 everything went downhill. We had high expectations but we ended up with garbage. Season 4 is especially bad, you can practically feel the hate toward the viewers. Not to mention the contradiction galore and stupid plot.

    !!! Anyone who forces others to listen to Baby Shark is an *'/+%*) and should be painfully and slowly tortured then executed. !!!

    I recommend to watch only the first two seasons and forget about the other two. It will keep you calmer, saner, happier.

    The ending is almost Dexter level bad and we still did not get every answer and because of that a real closure.

    Robert Sheehan

    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.

    Good until the last season

    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.

    S1/S2 : So Great ! S3/S4 : So bad...

    Season 1 and 2 are Incredibly entertaining, wildly inventive, and full of complex characters with a fresh new idea in a world of superhero content, by providing something deeper and more personal than most superhero content dares to attempt. His casting is amazing. The show is also excellently shot, notably its cinematography during its action sequences. Its writing and directing is often on point, inciteful at times, and the show is also full of delightful twists that kept me more than interested as the show went on. Besides all these excellent traits, The Umbrella Academy also has a fantastic soundtrack and a wonderfully nostalgic attitude that will keep you entertained all the way through.

    If the show had ended in 2020 with his season 2, it would have been one of the best Netflix series, but the show kept going and the 2 next seasons are so bad that i will never watch them again in my life. The characters were butchered, the plot was so boring and stupid. CGI became horrible. No more budget. I didn't even cared for the characters anymore while i loved them so much in S1/S2. There is so many problems with S3 and S4 that i can't list them all. All i know is that you will have horrible time watching those awfuls seasons...

    I enjoyed the first few seasons but this last one was a mess

    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.
