Re: The Umbrella Academy [Action, Adventure, Comedy]
I think the showrunners said that season 4 is probably the last season, so I think we got one more to look forward to.

Next-episode has the show marked as a Returning Series. Does that just mean that they haven't officially announced it's finished?

I don't know what everyone else thought about season 3. I thought season 1 was quite special, season 2 lost its way and its magic, while season 3 seemed a bit contrived early on, especially the humour, but it won me over by the end, particularly the last two episodes.
I finally found the time to finish season 3 and I agree! It felt like they wanted to move the show towards an ending in case they wouldn't get season 4 approved, but I'm happy that we'll get one last season.
I found Who Is The Woman With Reginald At The End Of The Umbrella Academy Season 3? interesting and 'The Umbrella Academy' Season 3: Ending Explained, Every Lingering Question Answered even more so:
Who's Abigail Hargreeves?
Surprisingly, Abigail Hargeeves was first introduced all the way back at the beginning of the season 1 finale. The mysterious scene takes place "long ago" on what appears to be a farm on a different planet, where several rockets launch into the sky. It suggests Abigail and Reginald are husband and wife -- and both aliens. On Abigail's deathbed, she asks Reginald to take her violin with him and give it to someone else to cherish (of course, Viktor ends up being the recipient). "The world needs you, Reggie," she says. Did Reginald and Abigail's planet die?
▼SpoilerMaybe season 4 will have those answers.
Damn, I had mostly forgotten those scenes from the beginning of the season 1 finale! I watched those again after finishing season 3, and now everything makes more sense.

Re: The Umbrella Academy [Action, Adventure, Comedy]
Seasons one and two were refreshingly good. Season three the show stopped being about the Umbrella Factory and the team(s) and became about Page's transition with a little bit of Umbrella Factory happening in the background. Very disappointed in what was looking to be a great show, being so thoroughly cheapened by politics.
The major problem succinctly identified...
"First off, I think it really is a bit annoying how much Page's personal life has bled into the show. Acting should be allowed to be about pretending to be something you are not. At some point, maybe it would have been better to cast someone else in the first place." -some_one
Even while acting their parts, the other characters seemed to be painfully tip-toeing around Page and her agenda, giving blatant notice to the otherwise lack of story. Even when she was not in the shot, the majority of conversations, still gravitated around her or ended with her entrance, severely limiting the backstory of new characters and forcing the existing, now you would have to say supporting cast, to be little more than a few minutes of distraction here and there, adding to the disjointed chaos.
Chaos added to the story in seasons one and two and could have been beneficial, if not smothered by Page. It really does put new meaning to the term "stealing the show", which I always attributed to a stand-out performance for good reasons until now.
Not sure if it can be saved by a fourth season, or if this continuation will follow the same path as season three and just whittle away all but one of the family into relative insignificance. Giving credit where due, the part of the father is played very well and strangely this role does not find itself dismissed, as readily as the roles of the other cast in relative importance.
First time I wished a show was cancelled after the second season to save its integrity. Very disappointed. I feel sympathy for the supporting actors and hope for their sake, that season four can save the franchise.

The fact that you quoted this, yet completely refused to acknowledge the paragraph it was leading up to, says a lot more than the rest of your words here ever could. Please think things through instead of just explaining your thought process so far. Quite often there is more to things than it seems at first.
