Umbrella Academy - Série 4

It didn't make a lick of sense, a lot of things contradicted each other, but a few ideas weren't bad. It's obvious that they're flying blind, like in the last series of Game of Thrones, because the comic-book isn't finished yet either. So the structure and the idea for the finale are interesting, but the execution is lame. The best part is the flashback to a mission in the past. Victor is annoying and, like Vanya, he used to be at least a little more and he remains the main reason the world is going to shit. Five is a stud, but he struggles with a daunting task. The others are more or less for numbers. Well thank god it's over, I may fondly remember the first two seasons, but I always prefer to read the source material. (22/08/2024)

Or how to ruin everything... That's how I would describe the final 4th season of Umbrella Academy. Yes, it disappointed me. Completely. After three seasons, you grow attached to all the characters, and then as a viewer, you're handed this ending? I don’t get it... Even the villains were weak compared to their predecessors (and that so-called new character? Laughable). But let’s talk about a few positives. A few storylines were well-executed (Number Five was by far the best this time around). Klaus was tragically underutilized again (it’s a shame they mishandled him so much in the last two seasons)... And Diego? They turned him into a thoroughly unlikable guy in every way. It really frustrates me. The creators botched the ending... A bit like GoT... Sigh. I’m giving it a 4/10. (31/08/2024)
