What impresses me the most is that you can feel/see the breakthroughs from S1 to S3, and the improvements are in every aspects: editing, sound mixing, music and story writing. I'd only give S1 6/10, but with the amazement in S2 and S3 I really believe the crews behind Umbrella Academy are constantly evolving. As for S3 confusing ending, I still feel they successfully break their own loop-- the umbrella without an apocalypse is really something to look forward to in S4.

The music was handled so PERFECTLY in S3, really built a strong emotional tone and mood to the show.

As for character depth, Umbrella Academy handles emotionally breakdowns and trauma carefully and reasonably. You can see where the anger, frustration, and sadness come from.

It's been a long time since a film made me feel this deeply touched, and brought me as much joy as much sorrow.
