The инцест-порнографияUmbrella Academyhas finished forever, and to end it all, the Netflix series blasts a musical throwback to the very first episode.
In the final moments of Season 4, we find ourselves in a utopian park filled with characters we've met across the series (some are missing for spoilery reasons). But as we're careening through this verdant picnic ground, the sounds of Tommy James and the Shondells' original 1967 version of "I Think We're Alone Now" will be an instant delight for longtime fans.

If you'll cast your memory back to 2019, when we first met the Hargreeves in the series, there's a moment in the first episode when the siblings need a timeout.
Luther (Tom Hopper), the leader of the bunch, decides to play the song in his room loud enough for the rest of the Hargreeves manor to hear, and Diego (David Castañeda), Allison (Emmy Raver-Lampman), Klaus (Robert Sheehan), and Viktor (Elliot Page) all can't resist the temptation to dance. The scene cuts between the siblings, eventually panning out to reveal the whole house throwing down a move, unbeknownst to each other.
It's the dance scene that would ensure an Umbrella Academy dance scene every season, including Season 4. Viktor, Klaus, and Alison muck around to Sam Cooke's "Twistin' The Night Away" in Season 2, and the season-opening "Footloose" dance-off from Season 3 is a series highlight.

The Season 1 "I Think We're Alone Now" moment proved such a hit with fans the cast recreated the scene during lockdown — including Number Five (Aidan Gallagher) and Ben (Justin H. Min), who weren't in the original. The video was used to promote Season 2's date announcement, and it's brilliant:

So, to finish the entire series with the song that started it all? 11/10. Yes, there's a different song for Season 4's end credits (Talking Heads' "This Must Be The Place"), but this is the real finisher. Crank it up.
