	Media	Author	Review
		Mae Abdulbaki Screen Rant	"[3rd Season Review]: Season 3 doesn’t fully come together, once again providing more questions than answers, but it remains an enjoyable — if muddled — adventure."
		Petrana Radulovic Polygon	"[3rd Season Review]: for those that find themselves drawn to the cyclical nature of repeating tragedies (...) 'The Umbrella Academy' continues to be as intoxicating to viewers as the Hargreeves family is to themselves."
		Tara Bennett Paste Magazine	"[3rd Season Review]: [It] wastes a promising story (...) it feels like a very densely plotted season that doesn’t mind sacrificing the potency of emotional moments trying to pay everything off."
		Alex Stedman IGN	"[3rd Season Review]: [It] requires a tad bit of patience to see its vision through, but if you hang in there through a few slower initial episodes you’ll be rewarded with a moving portrait of a complicated and flawed family
		Nate Richard Collider	"[3rd Season Review]: An intimate and beautifully bizarre third outing"
		Greg Wheeler The Review Geek	"[3rd Season Review]: A deliciously dark & disjointed superhero romp (...) season 3 does both some of the best and worst work in the whole show’s run."
		Jenna Scherer AV Club	"[3rd Season Review]: 'The Umbrella Academy' tackles themes of parenting, grief, and power with absurdist humor and very real pathos."
		Mel Valentin Screen Anarchy	"[3rd Season Review]: Another well-made, engagingly memorable season that feels less like an ending than a new beginning"
		Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"[3rd Season Review]: Please believe me when I say that it works in a very organic and natural way. If you've enjoyed 'The Umbrella Academy' so far, you should also be very pleased with season 3 (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		David Opie Digital Spy	"[2nd Season Review]: [It] continues to put Marvel and DC to shame. Combine that with the increased production values, and season two is in a better position than ever to compete with these cinematic rivals (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Allie Gemmill Collider	"[2nd Season Review]: A tighter story, cleaner execution, stronger performances, and even better world-building. "
		Sabrina Barr The Independent	"[2nd Season Review]: As wild and wacky as the first, the second season continues to challenge superhero tropes and offer a narrative that feels fresh (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Eoghan Cannon entertainment.ie	"[2nd Season Review]: [it]is such a joy to watch"
		Greg Wheeler The Review Geek	"[2nd Season Review]: Despite some cliched ideas for Vanya’s character (...) Netflix’s superhero series is still a winner and will almost certainly leaving you desperate for season 3."
		Michael Ahr Den of Geek	"[2nd Season Review]: A new apocalypse gives 'The Umbrella Academy' a thrilling 1960s adventure (…) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Dan Jolin Empire	"[2nd Season Review]: If the end of the world is always this fun, we hope it just keeps on ending (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Daniel D'Addario Variety	"[It] has a solid enough premise (...) It feels perpetually as if it’s aggressively working to shock the audience with just how weird it all is"
		David Betancourt The Washington Post	"'The Umbrella Academy' is even weirder than the comic. It’s an absolute must see"
		Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"Netflix already has 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' and could have easily titled 'The Umbrella Academy', its new series, 'A Series of Pointless Scenes'."
		Allison Keene Collider	"Refreshing and wonderfully bonkers (...) One of the 'The Umbrella Academy's many strengths is that it understands the importance of a good montage (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Merrill Barr Forbes	"Overall, 'The Umbrella Academy' is a series that knows what it wants to be (...) It doesn’t care about being great nearly as much as it does about being fun and exciting"
		Sam Barsanti AV Club	"The problem is that the show itself doesn’t seem to understand its greatest strengths. The production design (...) is incredible (...) [It] has the playful kitschiness of Wes Anderson and the overt absurdity of Tim Burton"
		Brandon Katz The New York Observer	"With a blend of just enough seriousness to explore painful emotional truths and a sense of playfulness that stylishly hustles the story along, it is perfectly suited for a stuffed weekend of viewing"
		Steven Scaife Slant	"Despite such an audacious premise, 'The Umbrella Academy' quickly slumps into mopey mediocrity, unable to render any of the visual imagination the material practically begs for (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"
		Adam Lock Ready Steady Cut	"[3rd Season Review]: Three seasons in, the writers have finally ironed out all of those kinks, creating a hilarious, explosive, and highly addictive hit. This is the best season yet (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
