The first two seasons of The Umbrella Academy were excellent, binge worthy, and compelling. Season 3 is lost, sporadic, and at times even boring. One of the biggest failures is the character of Viktor. Vanya was a fascinating character, but something gets lost in the translation to Viktor. The show might have been better had they killed off Viktor and eliminated the character completely. Viktor seems superfluous at this point and more of a distraction and drain on the plot and other characters. Klaus and Five are the saving graces of season 3, and the main reason I gave it 3 stars. Allison's continuing development as a character was also a strong point. The plot at times was all over the place, and at others, painfully redundant. I hear there might be a season 4, if so, I think I will miss it if it's more of the same.
