The Umbrella Academy - Série 3

A shame about the constant time-wasting and the absolutely excruciating dialogs about Vanya’s transformation into an unpleasant boy. All discussions about relationships here bore one to tears and the first half would be absolutely unbearable without Number Five and his storyline. In comparison with the comic, this isn’t in any way bizarre. This is a completely different level of madness, which Way and Bá are specialists at. The screenplay deserved greater care, but if this is the last season, ok; it was fairly easy viewing and nice. (07/31/2022)

The upward trend has slightly stalled; the third installment of this saga isn't better than its predecessor, but it’s still decent entertainment. Over the years, I’ve come to love the casting; these characters really grow on you, there’s no doubt about it. In this third season, Klaus and Number 5 particularly shine, but the other members of the Umbrella family aren’t far behind. I enjoyed the whole subplot with the alternative Sparrow Academy, though it’s a pity that all members of this family clan didn’t get enough screen time. As usual, the series delivers with great lines, which it sells excellently! It’s a bit disappointing that the creators chose to focus on an apocalypse (here, of the entire universe), as I missed a touch of innovation (we’ve seen the end-of-the-world theme twice already). The final episode raised so many questions, making the next season have a lot of work ahead of it. Answering everything in a rational manner won’t be easy. But as a viewer, I’m definitely on board. I give it 7/10. (07/01/2022)
