On one day in 1989, 43 infants are inexplicably born to random, unconnected women who showed no signs of pregnancy the day before. Seven are adopted by billionaire industrialist Sir Reginald Hargreeves, who creates the Umbrella Academy and prepares his "children" to save the world. In their teenage years, though, the family fractures and the team disbands. Fast forward to the present time, when the six surviving members of the clan reunite upon the news of Hargreeves' passing. They work together to solve a mystery surrounding their father's death, but divergent personalities and abilities again pull the estranged family apart, and a global apocalypse is another imminent threat. The series is based on a collection of comics and graphic novels created and written by My Chemical Romance lead singer Gerard Way.

Valerie Anne Autostraddle This is the way The Umbrella Academy ends, not with a bang, but a whimper. Aug 14, 2024 Full Review Caroline Siede Episodic Medium (Substack) If there’s a messiness to how this season unfolds, there’s a boldness too. And though I suspect there are some choices that will be divisive among the fanbase, it’s nice to see the show go out while it’s still able to make big swings. Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Liz Shannon Miller Consequence The Umbrella Academy ending now could be considered yet more evidence of the ongoing contraction superhero content is currently experiencing. It’s ending strong, though, with enough commitment to its characters to make its most memorable moments shine. Rated: B+ Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Kenneth Broome Black Nerd Problems I wish Umbrella Academy had an ending that gave a bit more, but they gave us an ending that made sense in the very least; though, it was a very messy, muddy path to get there. Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Tori Preston Pajiba In a show known for taking big, unexpected swings, it ended on the biggest most unexpected one yet. I think that’s pretty cool. Aug 19, 2024 Full Review Cheryl Eddy io9.com Umbrella Academy‘s final season doesn’t quite stick the landing. Aug 16, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Max R I remember watching this show when I was younger and found it so interesting, creative, and overall fun to watch. This last season was just so uninteresting, rushed, and absolutely destroyed characters arcs that took years to build. What a way to crumble a great show. I still have to give credit to the amazing visuals. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review Gareth v The weakest of all the seasons. It's still entertaining, but weak writing that comes across as rushed really let's down this show. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/10/24 Full Review Raa O Worst Season ❌ Not expected 😣 Worst Story without any sense or logic. Five's role was completely ruined in this season and Five's love angle relationship with Leela was the worst. ❌ The destruction had already started in the previous 3rd season, when Victor was suddenly shown to be a boy. 🤔 Half Star out of 10 ❌👎👎 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/10/24 Full Review Rutger G Writing is terrible Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/09/24 Full Review Romie R So many plot holes and unanswered questions. I don't understand how this of all things is what the writers came up with. It just felt very rushed and lazy. The ending could've been good but I hated that the characters seemed to lose their sense of family throughout the whole season. I absolutely loved the first 3 seasons and am choosing to erase this one from my memory. Still one of my favorite shows. The actors are so talented and did not deserve this mockery especially for the final season. Much love to them. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/09/24 Full Review Mel F Greedy, pathetic showrunners and studio execs ruin another gem! I feel terrible for the characters and talented actors.
