The Umbrella Academy

The show started so good with season 1 and 2, but like every other show or movie that explores time travel, timelines and multiverses, it's easy to get lost along the way. After so many changes, plot lines, characters dying and coming back alive, losing or gaining powers, it really starts to look like nothing makes sense anymore. Yet, I had some hopes for last season. Having watched the whole thing I have to say I'm really disappointed and genuinely sad. Every once in a while I watch shows that start good and finish bad, and I usually still recommend them cause the good in the beginning is "worth it", but this is not the case. The last season is a total mess, writers seem to have gotten lost in the complications of all the plotlines and totally forgot what the show was really about. The plotlines made no sense, the main plotline had no explanation, they did ALL the characters so dirty, they left many (important) questions unanswered, and the finale felt so disconnected to the start of the story. To all honestly, right now I'm grieving a show that had so much potencial and just ended in the worst possible way.

Adrian Gallagher, Five, is a genuine standout for his acting in a series which is largely plagued by a storyline with rampant plot holes.

The writers had an initial idea that seemed to work but the series just never really comes together or finds a way to keep me truly interested. The plot drags on and the way they attempt to wrap up certain parts of the story is increasingly unsatisfying.

7/10 - Writing is just falling flat while, Five, is carrying the series on his back. Help the dude out.

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.

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!

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.
