How was The Umbrella Academy Season 4 received?
The Umbrella Academy Season 4 received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike, showing a massive downturn in its reception relative to its previous seasons. It holds a critical score of only 58% and an audience score of just 28% on Rotten Tomatoes, clearly revealing how unsatisfied viewers are. This will be the first "rotten" season; thus, the streak of positive scores for the series will be broken.
The critics have pointed out the poor pacing, repeated storylines, and unsatisfying ending that succeeded in blotting out the performance of the cast and well-developed character arcs of the past.
This season has garnered the same type of score on the IMDb website, as fans are not pleased with how the plot became so haphazard and rushed. Indeed, many major critics noted that this new format of six episodes was very limiting. With fast plot progressions and half-developed subplots, it did not make for good reading. Although some reviews show the character interactions continued to be top-notch, the plot was thin overall, with no sense of closure.
As fans sit down to reflect on the Netflix series, the mixed Season 4 reception reminds them how hard it really is to close out a favorite narrative, leaving audiences with a mix of nostalgia and disappointment. The Umbrella Academy Season 4 was the final one in the series and just aired on August 8, 2024. It ends this rather dark and twisted series once and for all, since it captured the audiences back in 2019.
From creator Steve Blackman, initially based on a comic series by Gerard Way, it followed in the footsteps of the Hargreeves siblings, an eccentric group of adopted children with supernatural powers. They reunite to solve the mystery of their father's death and prevent impending disasters.
