These days, Viktor's powers have undergone quite the transformation. It's hard to believe that just five years ago, I was completely drawn into the strange and otherworldly world of The Umbrella Academy when I watched the first episode. As someone who grew up watching X-Men, Powerpuff Girls, and practically every Marvel movie, I have a soft spot for stories about superpowered beings. So when I stumbled upon a show about a dysfunctional family of superhuman individuals fighting crime as children and then struggling to navigate adulthood, I knew I had struck gold.
And now, after a thrilling journey, Netflix has released the final season of The Umbrella Academy, bidding farewell to beloved characters like Viktor, Klaus, Allison, Five, Diego, Luther, Ben, and Lila. This season once again delivers an epic spectacle, filled with action, time-bending antics, and the relatable sibling banter that fans have been eagerly waiting for. However, while the show has managed to maintain its essence of being fun, quirky, devastating, horrifying, and hopeful all at once, it's hard to deny that it was at its best when it first began.
In the previous season, Allison made a deal to be reunited with her daughter, while the siblings were living separate lives. But now, in the final season, we are thrown into a reset universe where everything has changed. Ben finds himself in trouble for dabbling in cryptocurrency, Klaus has a new outlook on life, and Luther is working as an astronaut stripper. Meanwhile, Allison is taking on small acting jobs, Five is working as a covert agent, and Klaus has become a germaphobe. But amidst all the chaos, the siblings must come together once again to face another looming apocalypse.
It's bittersweet to see The Umbrella Academy come to an end, but it's also a relief that it's being given a proper ending. Too often, great shows on Netflix are canceled before they can provide a satisfying conclusion, like 1899, Shadow and Bone, Lockwood and Co, and The OA. But not this time. In season four, we see the siblings reunite with their adoptive father, Sir Reginald Hargreeves, and face new challenges and enemies.
The stakes are higher than ever, with the fate of the universe resting in their hands once again. But this time, the threat comes from an alternate version of Ben, who we met in the previous season. And let's not forget the new antagonists, played by Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman, who are spreading a dangerous message about their universe. While the show's eccentricity is part of its charm, at times, the plot can feel a little too convoluted. But just when it starts to get overwhelming, the show manages to reel us back in with witty dialogue and thrilling action scenes.
However, there is one character whose potential for greatness was never fully explored, and it's a bit disappointing for fans. And while there are some unsettling moments in the show, it's all part of the story and adds to the overall experience. The Umbrella Academy has always been ambitious, and it has never shied away from taking risks. And now, in its final season, it seeks to answer all the lingering questions and mysteries, leaving fans both satisfied and heartbroken.
But fear not, for there is a post-credits scene that hints at a potential future for the show. So make sure to pay close attention. And while it may be hard to say goodbye to the Hargreeves siblings, it's the right decision to give their journey a proper ending. It's been an incredible ride, and I am grateful to have experienced The Umbrella Academy, one of my all-time favorite shows. And now it's time to join the siblings for one last fight against the apocalypse. The Umbrella Academy is available to watch on Netflix. So let's go save the world one final time.
