Over-complicated and too silly, that the final season is six episodes rather than the usual 10 are a blessing in disguise
The Umbrella Academy attempts the same tactic as before – overwhelm with plot and gimmicks so we won’t notice just how thin and nonsensical it all is . I watched it to jog my memory of what had happened in Netflix’s comic-book-inspired superhero series, but it wasn’t much help – they seemed as confounded by the plot as I am. The recap at the beginning of the fourth and final season isn’t much help either. Never mind. It turns out most of what came before was inconsequential.
More interesting is once-immortal, now-sober ex-drug addict Klaus’s development into a hypochondriac germaphobe, covering his sister Allison’s basement where he lives in bubblewrap, and his brother Five’s new job as an undercover CIA agent infiltrating conspiracy extremists. Not that we get long to enjoy this slower-paced examination of post-superhero life. By the end of the first episode they’ve all drunk a shot of Marigold and had their powers restored.
They’re obsessed with the idea that there are multiple timelines – the twist is, of course, that they’re right – and want to bring about The Cleanse, which they believe will reset the world and put them into the one true timeline.
