Funny, sweet, outrageous; third time out it once again puts on a brolly good show.
Season three continues to honestly grapple with everything its seven protagonists went through in the past.

The Umbrella Academy never met a time traveling wrinkle it didn’t like, and for season three, there’s a lot of fallout to sort through. But with strong characters both old and new, there’s plenty of reason to see it through.
Even if a lot of Season 3 feels like downtime, it’s still largely enjoyable downtime, thanks to a cast that understands their characters and how to play off of one another.
Perhaps eight episodes would have been more effective in creating a tightly coiled season with more streamlined stories and less meandering between major story turns. In the end, it feels like a very densely plotted season that doesn’t mind sacrificing the potency of emotional moments trying to pay everything off.
The show descends from its second-season cliffhanger into an ever-more-convoluted world of shifting timelines, battling super-teams and existential dangers, presented with plenty of goofy humor and irreverence but as the strange new elements pile up, increasingly aimed at what feels like a hardy band of loyalists with the patience to keep pace.
For a show featuring an openly trans hero, a drunk who communicates with the dead, a time-traveling senior citizen in the body of a 15-year-old, a half-man/half-ape with a heart of gold, and various other colorful characters, this is a show scared to really break new ground and relies on the illusion of change.
An absolute joy to watch from start to finish. The dynamics, the settings, the camerawork, what an awesome production this season was, opening more doors for future narratives and character build-ups, solving casting troubles in a respectful and credible way. What a beautiful ride this season was, it flushed my Obi-Wan disappointed entirely away. This is how you make art with television.

SEASON 3
This one was painful to watch. After two gold standard seasons the drop in quality and writing has impacted the show. Here is my pro and con list of this season:
Pro:
- How they handled Elliot Page's transition.
- Great chemistry between certain cast members.
- General comedic beats, more wins than misses.
- Fun musical moments.
- Viktor's character arc.
Cons:
- CGI. Whilst there are great VFX throughout this season, the bad outweighed the good.
- Poor plot coherence and worse group dialogue between multiple characters.
- Terrible performances from sparrow academy cast.
- Allison's character arc.
- Diego character arc.
- Continuity oversights.
There are more and I absolutely can elaborate, but I will post a more in-depth review when I've finished writing it.

SEASON 3
Pretty disappointing season. Had huge hopes that this would finish off on a good note but its a mess of a season. At times I was thinking what is the families goal here. And just when we are coming up to the final episode we get two filler episodes randomly, drawing out this series in a very peculiar way.
Season one and two were excellent but this is awful. There were moments I thought were very good but overall the season comes across as low budget and was filmed during the height of a pandemic. There is about fifteen different characters in the ten or so episode season. Maybe a maximum of seven or so people in a scene (including extras).
I'll give this a FOUR and that's a fair score.
