Season 3 Review:
Generally speaking, these characters are interesting enough that the audience can just have fun hanging out with them, but it does lose its way every so often. Still, once The Umbrella Academy dives into the meat-and-bones of the Kugelblitz (and beyond), it kicks things into overdrive with a stunning cosmic conclusion.

Season 3 Review:
Perhaps eight episodes would have been more effective in creating a tightly coiled season with more streamlined stories and less meandering between major story turns. In the end, it feels like a very densely plotted season that doesn’t mind sacrificing the potency of emotional moments trying to pay everything off.

Season 1 Review:
Its attempts to capture the visual and narrative virtuosity of the comics are halfhearted, though, and we’re left with a polished but increasingly dull version of the same old story: saving the world as a byproduct of overcoming adolescent resentments and family dysfunction; teenage alienation as an apocalyptic force that has to be brought under control.

Season 1 Review:
Netflix already has A Series of Unfortunate Events and could have easily titled The Umbrella Academy, its new series, A Series of Pointless Scenes. ... It probably doesn't help that the writing is superficial and the acting suboptimal, or that the whole thing relies on an ostensible quirkiness and viewers' innate sense that they've seen echoes of this many other places.

I'm not to big on Netflix originals. However this one was done incredibly well. The story was well written, and the characters were very fitting. I was hooked from the first episode and really enjoyed the show. I can't wait for Season 2 to see the way the show goes.

'The Umbrella Academy' revels in its weirdness, and yet seems to much more about the character relationships than their superhero antics. Their use of time travel is interesting without being convoluted and I can't wait for the next season to come out.

After 2 attempts i gave up. Its just unwatchable. Its about some superheros that do something but i enjoyed counting the dots on the wall more than watching it. Overhypead cheap and boring.
