The Umbrella Academy Recap: In Search of Lost Time


The Umbrellas have already prevented the end of the world three times throughout the series. What’s one more?

I would definitely be surprised if The Umbrella Academy ’s creative team decided the most fitting ending for this series is for all of our heroes — and, uh, the entire universe — to be vaporized in a single terrifying shockwave, but there’s something to be said for going out with a bang. As a part of this process, Klaus sees an opportunity to sneak off and grab a cache of money one of the ghosts left in a pet cemetery, but gets caught by Quinn and gets buried alive as a punishment. • With the exception of the long (and very funny) road trip from episode two, The Umbrella Academy has grown extremely disinterested in the practicalities of its own geography, with characters just sort of zipping around North America wherever they’re needed without any real nods toward the time or hassle that it would take to get around.
