More Critic Reviews for The Umbrella Academy Season 1 All Critics (87) | Top Critics (26) | Fresh (65) | 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 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 "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 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 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) 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 View All Critic Reviews (87) Audience Reviews for The Umbrella Academy: Season 1 Jan 17, 2020 Weak writing and terrible dialogue, this show can vanish and no one would care. Frank R Jan 16, 2020 Must watch amazing show Benjamin W Jan 14, 2020 Weird and funny, this is a complete different take on superhero series. Very funny, my favourite character was Klaus (Robert Sheehan). Looking forward to season 2. Mark D Dec 30, 2019 This one sucked me and when it ended I was like "I have to wait for Season 2?" Christopher M Dec 30, 2019 Prea previzibil, prea neatent cu personajele Andrei D Dec 30, 2019 Acting is poor, but the story is interesting ashish c Dec 24, 2019 It's a crazy show, but very entertaining. Rob O Dec 24, 2019 Weird, has a lot of potential to be great. Ijeoma20 A Dec 19, 2019 As a fan of the original comics, I really loved this version of the Umbrella Academy. It's still fun and exciting and I think the story is even better than the original one(much more realistic and emotional). The series also does a great job of depicting the characters and their emotions. Yes, the open ending was a bit disappointing, but since season 2 is coming out, there's no need to worry, right? Matt H Dec 01, 2019 The Umbrella Academy doesn't know what it wants to be, tonal issues and spotty acting takes this interesting story into too much comedic places and often breaks into awkward dance scenes.Mary J Bleig feels really misplaced and so does her buddy cop partner, but overall it's at least watchable at best Kevin O See all Audience reviews News & Features 150 Erotic Movies Ranked worst to best! 2019's Most Anticipated 63 movies coming up this year 200 Essential Movies Chosen by RT staff!
