More Critic Reviews for The Umbrella Academy Season 1 All Critics (88) | Top Critics (27) | Fresh (66) | Rotten (22) "The Umbrella Academy" is worth the enrollment. As creator Way once sang, welcome to the black parade. Mar 7, 2019 | Rating: B | Full Review… Adam Graham Detroit News Top Critic "Umbrella" looks, feels and sounds different - music does much of the heavy lifting, and effectively so. It's a gorgeous-looking production that evokes another world, with both feet still firmly planted in this one. Feb 18, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic It has flaws and excesses, but the series...nonetheless lands in the sweet spot between comedy and drama, and between a plot-and-action-driven narrative and character exploration. Feb 15, 2019 | Full Review… Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Top Critic The result is a season of television that seems at once overstuffed and thinned out - long on character and events, but short on any sense of mounting tension, urgency or consequences. Feb 14, 2019 | Full Review… Glen Weldon NPR Top Critic It's never as cutting edge or plainly cool as it so desperately wants to be. Feb 14, 2019 | Full Review… Nick Allen RogerEbert.com Top Critic Some choices make the 10-episode first season easy to digest - inviting you to shut off your brain and go along for the ride - but too many fail to live up to the show's creative possibilities. Feb 11, 2019 | Rating: C | Full Review… Ben Travers indieWire Top Critic What takes an inordinately long time to build up to does pay off in a dramatic manner, but not until the last two episodes. Jan 17, 2020 | Full Review… Gena Radcliffe The Spool The show focuses on human emotion at the expense of heroics, which sounds like it should be one big let-down, but it isn't. Nov 27, 2019 | Full Review… Abby Robinson Digital Spy As superheroes continue their rise in Hollywood, Netflix's The Umbrella Academy gives a decidedly different take on the genre, and it is one which new and old fans alike will be glad to add to their queue. Nov 27, 2019 | Full Review… Megan Peters ComicBook.com Overall, The Umbrella Academy may be the latest in a long list of superhero adaptations but its speed and uneven tone are a detriment to its initial promise. Nov 26, 2019 | Full Review… Katie Smith-Wong Flick Feast Overall this series will leaves you swept up in its fun and frolics and make you care enough about the characters to worry about their fate. Nov 27, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Tilly Pearce Metro (UK) You'll love the fast-paced action, the use of pop music and, most of all, superheroes who aren't shy to use their powers to kick butt. Nov 27, 2019 | Full Review… Aloysius Low CNET View All Critic Reviews (88) Audience Reviews for The Umbrella Academy: Season 1 6h ago Absolutely the best television show since "Lost". I hate television, and popular shows, as they are very uncreative and have the same boring storyline as each other. This show woks my spirit in many ways. I never bingewatched anything until this show came out because it was that captivating and original. It's packed with humor, action, drama, life and family lessons, & so so much more. Give it a go and I promise you will not regret it. Carrie B 10h ago Great TV show! Directed with a new and refreshing style and great use of music for different types of scenes. Nicolas B 20h ago One of my top 3 new shows of 2019 Jules A Aug 09, 2020 It wasn't a bad start, especially considering the fact that Doom Patrol season 1 impressed more than Umbrella Academy season 1. However in season 2 the ranking definitely switched. Manohar S 2d ago Season 2 helped me love season 1 on a second viewing😎. This is awesome tv! Francisco O 2d ago This show is horrible. The villains are two fat people versus 6 with super powers. WTF Elrond S 2d ago AMAZING! I started to see it by chance and now I think I could say that it is my favorite serie. This season is very good but the second is even better !!! Georgina L 4d ago boring boring and mm boring? Marleni C 5d ago This show is good. Good character development. scenario and acting. Aidan Gallagher and Robert Sheehan are excellent. Remy B 6d ago some plot details had the potential to be much better, but I didn't find anything too big to hinder the experience of watching the series. There are funny and original characters, and it's really worth it for those who love a superhero story Gianna C See all Audience reviews News & Features 200 Erotic Movies Coming attractions for you 2020's Most Anticipated Movies What and when to watch Video Game Movies Ranked 43 ranked worst to best Best Netflix Series and Shows What to watch right now More News & Features TOP HEADLINES Best Horror Movies of 2020 Ranked – Rotten Tomatoes Fall TV First Look: Find Out What’s Coming – Rotten Tomatoes The Best Peacock Original Shows and Movies – Rotten Tomatoes 20 Movies To Watch If You Loved Inception – Rotten Tomatoes All Upcoming Disney Movies: New Disney Live-Action, Animation, Pixar, Marvel, and More – Rotten Tomatoes The Best Quibi Shows to Stream Now – Rotten Tomatoes The 64 Most Anticipated Movies of 2020 – Rotten Tomatoes Sundance 2020 Movie Scorecard – Rotten Tomatoes More Headlines View All Results Go back More trailers
