Reception


The fourth season holds an approval rating of 56% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 34 reviews, with an average rating of 5.8/10. The website's critics consensus states, "Getting the band back together for one last haphazard race to the finish, The Umbrella Academy's fourth season rains on the series' parade a bit while still offering some sweet grace notes". On Metacritic, the fourth season received a score of 59 based on reviews from 11 critics, signifying "mixed or average reviews".
Chase Hutchinson of IGN gave the season a "good" 7 out of 10, saying "Season 4 isn’t perfect, and it often feels constrained and narrow thanks to its shortened length. Still, it does right by its ragtag group of superheroes." Hutchinson commented on the smaller episode count, saying it "has its pros and cons", stating that "Season 4 is rushed. Surprise reveals, reversals of fate, and the looming threat of annihilation are fundamental to the Umbrella Academy experience, but all that is slightly constrained here" while also praising it for not having "filler episodes, and extraneous subplots that played like shallow video-game side quests", a problem he says previous seasons had. Hutchinson praised Elliot Page's acting, saying "Page continues to be a performer capable of doing even more heavy lifting than his super-strong counterparts."
