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.

Critics Consensus

Getting the band back together for one last haphazard race to the finish, The Umbrella Academy's fourth season rains on the series' parade a bit while still offering some sweet grace notes.

This is the way The Umbrella Academy ends, not with a bang, but a whimper.

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.

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+

The Umbrella Academy handles queer grief in a touching and authentic way that isn’t exploitative.

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.

In a show known for taking big, unexpected swings, it ended on the biggest most unexpected one yet. I think that’s pretty cool.

Devastating way to end a good series, just awful. Can't watch more than 2 episodes, or I'm certain it will ruin the memory of the first 3 seasons. What a shame.

Everyone is to hard on this final season just because they didn’t like the ending. It isn’t the best season in the series, sure, but it’s still enjoyable and made me and my family laugh.

Messy, flawed, unfinished. Too many unresolved questions and as many problems.

It's kind of sad to see the series end but everything basically came full circle. This season had everyone doing their own thing to wrap different plot points. Farewell Umbrella Academy, you were a fun watch.
