The Umbrella Academy wraps up the story on a bittersweet but definitive note, with some touches that hardcore fans will appreciate. Read full review

The Telegraph Ed Power

All these balls are juggled with lunatic enthusiasm. The tone can be all over the place: comedic one moment, bleak the next. However, The Umbrella Academy has real affection for its lovable weirdos (in contrast to The Boys, which invites you to hate all the characters). As the story builds to a moving final twist, it is revealed that the show’s true superpower is its humanity. Read full review

The six-episode conclusion of The Umbrella Academy is a definite STREAM IT. Read full review

Looper Cynthia Vinney

Aug 8, 2024

After three amazing seasons, "The Umbrella Academy" has an enormous amount of goodwill from fans, but the show's final season is just too short to do them justice. That said, these characters are enormously fun to hang out with, and in the end, that's almost enough. Read full review

The first stretch of season 4 is not only great. It delivers some of the best episodes in the entire show. That only makes it more painful when the show returns to its old vices, splitting the party too thin and juggling too many side stories simultaneously. .... Calling The Umbrella Academy finale sloppy would be a compliment. While the season’s final events would be controversial in themselves, their lack of coherence adds insult to injury.

Cutting Season 4 down to six episodes should have resulted in much tighter plotting, Netflix bloat be damned, yet some aspects of this final chapter still feel rather drawn out, which all leads to an abrupt end that goes for the heartstrings but tugged on my patience instead. Read full review

Collider Therese Lacson

Aug 8, 2024

Season 4 offers so little in the form of closure, and instead of bringing the characters together, it scatters them apart into odd pairings, forgets about the events of the past, and feels painfully disjointed, relying on the talent of the actors and the chemistry they have together to keep it going.
