Summary The Umbrella Academy jumps between characters, storylines, and timelines during its four-season run, and some outings of the Netflix series succeed better than others at crafting their narrative. The Hargreeves siblings remain the focal point of The Umbrella Academy from season 1 to season 4, but their repeated resetting of the universe allows the show to constantly explore new territory.
While the overarching themes of The Umbrella Academy season 4 are admirable, the execution doesn't do them justice. 7 Gene and Jean are highlights of The Umbrella Academy season 4, and humorous action sequences like the fight in New Grumpson make season 4 feel like The Umbrella Academy at its best. Unfortunately, such elements of the final outing aren't enough to save it. There's a reason why season 4 has the lowest Rotten Tomatoes score of the entire series. Whether you love or hate the Hargreeves' fates, there's too much that's off about their final adventure.
The Umbrella Academy season 3 comes close to season 1 in terms of quality, but the latter is just a bit better. It feels more accurate to the comics, and the characters don't make as many dubious choices throughout its run. Still, the third outing is leagues ahead of the fourth. With its emotional ending, which sees the Hargreeves finally accepting the apocalypse and their fates, one has to wonder if it wouldn't have made a more fitting finale to the Netflix series.
1 The Umbrella Academy Season 2 The Very Best Of The Netflix Series Close The Umbrella Academy season 2 is by far the best outing of the series, improving on everything season 1 set up while working out any shortcomings. The Umbrella Academy's sophomore season takes the Hargreeves back to various points of the 1960s, giving each of them their own narrative arc before reuniting them for another apocalypse.
