Laila and Five contemplating in Umbrella Academy season 4 with a green RT splat in the background
Summary The Umbrella Academy's low Rotten Tomatoes score ends an impressive streak for the Netflix series. Since season 1's debut in 2019, The Umbrella Academy has been among Netflix's most popular and well-received original shows, with all three seasons receiving fresh critical scores on Rotten Tomatoes. The Umbrella Academy season 4 ending was expected to bring a triumphant conclusion to the series as it culminated the journeys of the Hargreeves children.
Why The Umbrella Academy Season 4 Rotten Tomatoes Scores Are So Low Critics Take Issue With Several Narrative Problems Close The consensus from The Umbrella Academy's final season reviews is that it suffers from poor pacing, retreading overly familiar ground, and delivering an unsatisfying conclusion. With only six episodes instead of the usual ten, the pacing for season 4 was inevitably going to feel different due to the reduced episode count.
Retreading familiar storylines is not unique to season 4, as seasons 1 to 3 all revolved around the Hargreeves children trying to stop a different apocalypse in a different timeline. The charming chemistry of The Umbrella Academy's cast and the rewarding character development of each member of the dysfunctional family made it easier to overlook this repetition in seasons 2 and 3. By season 4, these strengths may no longer be enough to justify the repetitive story beats.
