Plot: Back at the Academy, the Umbrellas clash with a new squad of Hargreeves siblings as a mysterious force begins to wreak havoc on the city.
Season 3 of Umbrella Academy was so great.
Pros: I gave credit to this 3rd season for keeping up with the quality set from the previous seasons. All the acting was brilliant. I like the music they used & I was surprised of how they executed their turns & twists in this season 3.
My favourite character was Klaus Hargreaves because he delivered some of the best laughs.
Cons: At times I didn’t understand what they were saying. Each member of the sparrow academy came-off one-note & was not all that interesting except for Justin H. Min’s Character Ben Hargreaves & a handful of episodes went on for too long.
I highly recommend binge watching the First 2 seasons of this show before seeing this latest season which are all only exclusively on Netflix.
Rating: 9 out of 10 Stars
