The Umbrella Academy Season 4 (Netflix) Review :-
When it comes to farewells, this one is among the most wild and “just go with it” exits you’ll see on TV this year. Season 3 sets an impressively high bar for absurdity. Previously, the Hargreeves siblings forced the Kugelblitz into a sentient cube named Christopher, had a wedding at the apocalypse, and battled cockroach samurai in the Hotel Oblivion, only for their alien father Sir Reginald (Colm Feore) to create a new timeline that stripped everyone of their powers.
The series might have concluded there, but Season 4 offers fans a final six-episode adventure. This time, however, the Umbrella Academy itself is no longer in existence. The powerless Hargreeves siblings are grappling with the challenges of ordinary life, despite the set design team’s commitment to vibrant neon colors in every scene. Reuniting at a six-year-old’s birthday party, they find themselves awkwardly navigating the mundanity of normal life. But then—bam! A kidnapping, a crucial missing person, a timeline cult, and the alarming possibility that Ben might be a ticking time bomb for the apocalypse. Time for a FAMILY ROAD TRIP!
In this new timeline, the rising threat comes from The Keepers, an extremist conspiracy theorist group led by the brilliantly cast Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally as Gene and Jean Thibedeau, a pair of disgraced community college professors and Umbrella Academy enthusiasts (yes, they have jokes about who’s the dominant Gene or Jean). The group is increasingly suspicious of multiple timelines and appears to be plotting to reveal the truth. In a twist, The Umbrella Academy both portrays conspiracy theorists as villains and, intriguingly, validates some of their claims?! Sure!
At the center of the final season is Ben, whose strained relationships with his siblings intensify following the loss of his Sparrow siblings last season. As the key to a looming global disaster, his family must unravel the mystery of the “Jennifer incident” and its implications for Ben before everything unravels. Meanwhile, the Hargreeves siblings face final confrontations and mysteries, each getting their moment in the spotlight— including a surprising enemies-to-lovers storyline.
One of the standout aspects of The Umbrella Academy has always been its ability to blend wildly different personalities into a cohesive family unit. The talented cast skillfully delivers the sharp script with either deadpan nihilism or hilariously earnest moments. Raver-Lampman’s line, “I’m sorry you left Canada for this,” delivered in a moment of danger, is a perfect example of the show’s blend of humor and gravitas.
The standout of the season is Hopper as the lovable “himbo” Luther, whose unhinged optimism bulldozes through any awkwardness. Watching Hopper lose his mind over antique sconces and stress-eat cupcakes is a joy, and his comedic chemistry with Castañeda is a highlight, transforming Luther and Diego from sibling rivals into a buddy cop duo.
However, honorary Hargreeve sibling Lila delivers the most impressive arc, with Arya providing the season’s most nuanced performance. She brings relatable depth and heartbreaking vulnerability to our favorite assassin. Additionally, Gallagher reveals a softer side of Five that we haven’t seen before, hiding beneath his usual teenage bravado.
Meanwhile, Raver-Lampman’s Alison finally receives the redemption she deserves after the previous season’s mishandling of her character—her “ballbuster” scene rivals anything from The Boys. This season, Sheehan portrays Klaus with a refreshing shift from his former hedonistic, immortal self, delivering a nuanced performance that balances extreme vulnerability with his signature theatrical flair.
Page remains impeccable as Viktor, who confronts his daddy issues with striking intensity, while Min uncovers Ben’s true heart (yes, he has one!) during a True Romance-style on-the-run adventure. Additionally, Victoria Sawal makes a notable debut, infusing her character with brilliant energy, crucial to the Hargreeves’ fate, though discussing her role further would spoil the surprise.
The Umbrella Academy Season 4 (Netflix) Trailor :-
Whoever cast real-life couple Offerman and Mullally in this season of The Umbrella Academy deserves a raise. As a nefarious duo reminiscent of Fargo villains, they cruise around in an ’80s Chrysler LeBaron Town and Country, sporting matching aviator glasses, alpaca wool coats, and fanny packs in every scene. Gene and Jean steal the show, especially with their standout Cher-themed dance sequence, making them the true highlight of Season 4.
Expelled from academia for their outlandish theories, these conspiracy theorists harbor a grudge and establish an apocalypse cult HQ inside an American fast food restaurant. Remarkably, Mullally and Offerman make these eccentric characters so engaging that you might find yourself wanting to join their cause. Watching Jean and Gene flirt is a delight, as Offerman and Mullally deliver a blend of physical comedy and cheeky sincerity that showcases their unique talents perfectly.
The dynamic duo is complemented by the addition of David Cross, who brings his signature comedic flair to the role of the earnest dry cleaner Sy Grossman. Adding to the charm is the unusual narrative backdrop: the entire story unfolds during Christmas.
Season 4 is a festive fever dream
The final season of The Umbrella Academy is draped in holiday cheer, featuring everything from a festive small town with hidden secrets to the glittering halls of the CIA. Known for its vibrant visuals and bizarre action scenes, the show outdoes itself this season with Christmas decorations in every scene. Set during the holidays, Season 4 is bathed in twinkling lights and whimsy, even amidst the chaos of bullets and blood. This festive touch transforms the season into a six-episode Christmas special, offering a whimsical, celebratory farewell to the Hargreeves family in the most unconventional way possible.
As expected from The Umbrella Academy, the final season features plenty of needle drops during fight scenes, including a mix of Christmas carols and the perfect song to wrap up the series. While the frequent use of the somewhat outdated “Baby Shark” might feel excessive, it’s easy to overlook, especially since it accompanies a scene of projectile vomiting.
It’s moments like this grotesque, spectacular slow-motion scene that make me realize just how much I’ll miss The Umbrella Academy. After four seasons of genuinely unpredictable twists, a captivating cast, stunning set and costume design, and enough needle drops to rival Amoeba Music, the show has felt like a quirky TV family to fans like me. Season 4, though brief and delightfully bizarre, delivers a spectacular farewell.
