Plot: Six years after the reset, the powerless Hargreeves clan faces a secret society and learns that the greatest threat to the universe… may be themselves.
The final season of Umbrella Academy was let down.
Pros: I did like a lot of the moments with the key characters individually. This season got some laugh out moments from me. The special effects were top notch and I wasn’t expecting too much from this final season.
Cons: The main storyline got convoluted and rushed. I didn’t enjoy the plotlines involving Klaus, Diego & Lila. Most to everything was like a repeat from previous plotlines. The villains were not that good in my opinion. the finale is lacking tension, and the season was short.
