The Umbrella Academy Season 4 continues the story of the last season which was forced forward. Finally, in season 4, the end of Umbrella Academy has been shown, which was also necessary for this series. In this season too, the Umbrella family tries to save the world from the apocalypse, which is possible due to the sacrifice of the Umbrella Family.
Storyline
Season 4 would have started from the same place where the entire Umbrella family along with Ben have been saved from the apocalypse but all of their powers have been lost. Without wasting much time, the story takes you six years later where the entire Umbrella family is now living a normal life, each one of them, like a common man, is doing his best to stay alive. Ben is in jail in an online crypto fraud case, Allison is a struggling actor who makes a living by promoting washing powder, Klaus has now completely reformed and lives with Allison and takes care of Claire, Diego and Laila are married and living a boring life, which is being made even more boring by their teenage children, Number Five is now a CIA agent spying on a group called ‘Keepers’, Victor has now He himself has opened a beer bar but doesn’t know how, finally Luther who is now a strip dancer entertains the idiots in the club. Meanwhile, Diego and Laila call everyone for a reunion at their child’s birthday party. Upon reaching there, the entire family starts searching for Viktor who has been kidnapped by some unknown man.
While searching for Viktor, they meet Sy Grossman, whose daughter Jennifer is missing, and who has a collection of related objects from another timeline, one of which is a marigold. Ben who is tired of living his life now wants to regain his strength by speaking to the marigold. Due to which some family members do not agree but still Ben succeeds in tricking them into drinking it. The search for Jennifer leads them to a village where everyone faces bullets and attackers who are related to their father, Reginald Hargreeves. Ben meets Jennifer in same village, with whom Ben disappears. The family now plans to meet Reginald Hargreeves but this timeline’s Reginald Hargreeves is not as he has been shown in previous seasons, and he is now happily married to his wife. Because Reginald Hargreeves from the previous timeline had all of his children’s memories erased, Reginald Hargreeves from this timeline agrees to get those memories back because the family feels that those memories will help them find Ben and Jennifer.
After returning to these memories, the family learns about Jennifer, Marigold and a new Virus that is also related to Ben. On the other hand, Ben and Jennifer seem to be getting closer, which could lead the world to a new destruction. The family has adopted different methods to save it. In which Laila and Five decide to go in past timeline and change whatever happened with Ben and Jennifer. On the other hand, Victor and Reginald Hargreeves try to stop Ben until his alliance with Jennifer could lead to the destruction of the world. While Five and Laila who decide go to the previous timeline and try to correct everything, somehow they are unable to come back and go to the same place.
Somehow Five and Laila return to the present timeline, but in this timeline Ben and Jennifer are headed for Cleanse. The aim is to take the world towards another destruction. To end this, the entire umbrella family will have to be ended, and the world will return to its true timeline.
Conclusion
Thank God this season is ending in 6 episodes, in which we have seen the entire world getting destroyed many times. Despite being a fictional and fantasy series, there are many reasons why it proves to be weak. But this season forces you to laugh at many moments, especially the character of Luther makes you laugh many times. At the same time, many secrets have opened up in this season, which may have been on your mind since the first season. What are the prospects of such unique children being born suddenly on 14th October 1989? And where did Sloane Hargreaves disappear to? And what is this Marigold who destroyed the whole world in the third season? Well, in this season all the super heroes are shown to be killed but Reginald Hargreeves is not shown to be killed. There is a possibility of another series coming in the future, about which there is not much certainty. Overall this season also fails in entertaining you, for which 6 episodes are enough, perhaps the producers should have done this in the previous season also.
Rating:- 6.5/10
