Spoilers ahead for the final season of The Umbrella Academy . The streaming wars have been going for years now, and one of the best shows to binge on Netflix is definitely its superhero show The Umbrella Academy . The show's fourth and final season recently arrived for those with a Netflix subscription , and offered a moving ending for the Hargreeves.
The series finale of The Umbrella Academy confirmed what we perhaps should have known all along: that the Hargreeves are the very reason why they keep trying to avoid the apocalypse. Season 4 of The Umbrella Academy ended with the titular team sacrificing themselves forever, allowing their loved ones (plus the entirety of the multiverse) to live on. And while I did like the finale itself, I thought that the short season the final installment of the series overall.
The first three season of The Umbrella Academy were all ten episodes each, which really gave the story enough time to breathe. There are a ton of characters to service, many of whom were often traveling across timelines. Which is why reducing it to just six episodes for Season 4 felt like such a slap to the face, and one that forced the story to move much quicker than it probably would have.
While fans adjusted to shorter Umbrella Academy episodes in Season 2 , missing out on four episodes for the final season was a toughie. While the show stuck the landing for its series finale, it could have packed an even more emotional punch if there was more time to spend with eac.
