What the what?!
maxglen17 August 2020
Warning: Spoilers
I'm gonna start with a lil bit of a complaint. The first few minutes of the episode, although very tense are filled with flashing lights which gave me a little bit of a migraine. That being said the rest of this episode is on point. I was very sad to see Ben go as he was one of my favourite characters and I felt like he could have done so much more, although at least he went out like a hero. Five and Five were fun to watch. Luther did something which was nice. But can I just skip ahead a bit and say WHAT?! Reginald was an Alien?! I mean it makes sense but Jesus... a very enjoyable episode overall even if the light show at the beginning messed with my brain a bit.

Can You Say "Harlan"
Hitchcoc24 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Sissie didn't kill her husband. She pulled a gun on him. He took the gun and tried to kill her (Harlan redirected the bullet and it killed him). The comment from the reviewer pretty much said that anything he did to her was fine because he earned a living. She was like a prisoner in her own home, living under constant threat. He got precisely what he deserved. He was ready to lock the little boy up. Who knows what would have happened to her then. We know from history, that even in a fantasy show, Kennedy was going to die. The Umbrella Academy is about to go to war with the Handler. Lila maintains her stupidity, even with evidence that the old lady killed her parents. We also find out what the deal is with dear old dad.

Headaches galore

Warning: Spoilers
Loved the whole series and this episode but Vanya's forcefield gave me such bad headaches and left me feel nauseous for the rest of the episode.

The actual season finale
chunkylefunga2 August 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This is where the season should have ended.

Season 2 was definitely an improvement on season 1. Really season 1 didn't need to be made and season 2 should just be the start of the show.

Decent plot, draws you in and strong performances from most. Ellen page is the weak link of the show.

That twist!
nburroughs-3408719 August 2020
The episode was mediocre at best but the there was some twists allowed for a higher elevation. If you have made it this far then enjoy the episode.

Fives inconsistent with each other
mark-russell434 August 2020
Aiden Gallagher has turned in a masterful performance as 'Five'. However the actor playing his older (technically younger) self does not seem to have watched Gallagher's previous efforts and is totally unconvincing and ruins the episode.

WTF
Calicodreamin21 August 2021
The series has digressed into total anarchy at this point, with most of the storylines ending in nothing, like why did they even try. Then there was a big WTF moment and one really sweet moment. I don't even know how to categorize this.

Love the show but...
adage-958857 August 2020
First, what? 10 min. I thought I was gonna have a seizure. I had to close my eyes and every time I tried to open them, felt so nauseated. Sorry it kinda ruined the mood for the rest of the episode.

It should not have happened.
giovannifigueroa7 August 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Carl should not have died. He didn't deserve this. He finds out his marriage is a sham then learns his wife trys to steal his child. And she then kills him? I'm very disappointed about his death. But the rest of the episode was alright.

Diego indeed a mastermind
eunbi053016 February 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Yes, Diego went to the middle of nowhere already knowing that Lila would come after him, his plot to bury Elliot when in fact he planned to drink Lila's flask, get drugged and abducted was all part of his master plan of disposing of any proofs that his long lost brother had killed Lila's parents, that #5 surely remembered - even because Lila wasn't hidden in a secret room when that happened, right? - and made sure that Diego knew, because Lila knew how open Five is with his siblings.

How a show with dumb, cliché and senseless script got a 3rd season, but Masterpieces like THE OA dont?
jere_zabala21 December 2020
After this, we can confirm, we live in a world that is upside down, not only because of wars, people ignorance, indifference, and bad behaviors or lack of empathy, but also because the majority always support the worst things out there, how a show like this, EXTREMELY BASIC, CLICHÉ /heroes trying to save the world from an apocalypse, god, never seen this before, SO ORIGINAL!!! /, with so many senseless scenes, boring and annoying characters, no original music(all songs are stolen of other artists), and the stolen songs never fit with the scenes, basic script, 90% of filling scenes, 0% character development, all the characters are terribly flat, not even the powers are good or original, they are basic, and boring, how talking to the deads is a skill to save the world? or having good aim??? the weakest avenger has that power, and many other super heroes, if the show last 1 hour, we could resume season 1 and 2 and even like that it will spare time, god, I never saw a show or movie with so many bugs, not even Sharknado or Inhumans were so reckless, I want to go back in time and rumour the creators that this show never EXISTED!!! Facts sorry :/ 1/10 :)

This eposide is the end of the show
abu3mer22 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
So many clichés in this eposide, like how did the father of that son die ? Did they make him die just to prove a point that it's alright for her to abandon him for vanya?? How did the boy get the power? So many other stuff.. but what do expect typical netflix show. They take a good script and they screw with it.
