The Review: The Umbrella Academy Season 3


Umbrella Academy Season 3 (6/10)


This wont be long. I know that I said I was not gonna watch this show if they made it but I did. I ended up ironing and plowing through the third season. This was definitely better than the second one even though there were way more people. Just like previous seasons it picks up right where the last one left off. The team is stuck in an alternate reality where their goofy asses were never created. Instead their adoptive father created the Sparrow Academy because when he met them in the 60's he realized that they were fuck ups and wanted to fix that. Just like before the world is going to end because of things they have done and mistakes that were made and they need to stop it and they do but not without a bunch of confusion in between. The new team seems to have a more famous lifestyle than the Umbrella Academy did but seem like jerks still. None are really likable. Again for the third time in a row Klaus and Five are the most interesting parts of the series. Vanya/Viktor remains uninteresting. Diego is a shit fighter. Luther's a jackass. And Allison is a monster.



Like, while I was watching the series they made her story about wanting to see her daughter who existed but was not hers and then get to her reality to be with her real daughter and the whole time I was thinking “You don't care! You spent time in the 1960's remarrying and fighting for civil rights!” Vanya blew up the moon one season and started a world war in the next but she gets forgiven for all her shit which I agreed with Allison about. But...yeah. Vanya becomes her true self of Viktor and tries to help the young boy from last season who is now a powerful ass old man. Diego has a kid that isn't really his by Layla. Is that her name? No, its Lila. Luther falls for one of the girls on the other team. Klaus trains with Hargreeves and learns to use his powers better. Five does Five things. Its a lot of shit and this show is starting to remind me of Doom Patrol in a bad way.
