Umbrella Academy (Netflix Original Series)

[Cyclonetrombone]

Not here to talk about the comic book series (please dont be that person). This was a really enjoyable show. Had some interesting character depth and while it started out kindof all over the place really ended on point. Not sure if anyone else had a chance to watch this yet but it was so far my favorite Netflix OS.

Just started it this weekend. Enjoying it so far

 

[Cyclonetrombone]

What charactor has the most interesting arc for you so far?

 

[alarson]

Just finished.

I think Allison might be the only sane person in the entire show.

Luther just pissed me off constantly.

 

[Rabbuk]

IS this like Mystery Men?

 

[JaCyn]

Going to start next wkend.

I’m on episode 8. Great show, a bit campy with a lot of filler but entertaining for sure. Straus is just ridiculous lol. Despite being a wack job he might be my favorite character outside of Diego. I agree that Allison is the only somewhat sane person on the show. Luther too but he is dumb.

 

[DeftOne]

I'm about half-way through the season. So far I'd say it's...OK. Just entertaining enough to keep me interested.

 

[Cyclonetrombone]

IS this like Mystery Men?

kindof but no. Just a different type of a story line.

 

[Cyclonetrombone]

Luther just pissed me off constantly.

Agreed... I also was getting sick of Diego's shtick there for a bit.

Finished it tonight and found it very entertaining. Klaus is probably the most nuanced character. Number 5 is great two. The others were meh... hope it gets renewed for season 2.

I think it's great so far. I need to read the graphic novel when I get a chance.

 

[MLawrence]

Just finished the season, and I thought it was pretty entertaining. My only complaint is the lack of communication between the members in which some issues could have been avoided. Sure there is probably trust issues between the siblings, but it seems like the characters just don't have/use smartphones.

 

[Rabbuk]

I watched it and wasn't mad that I watched it. But I didn't exactly enjoy it.

 

[Mr Janny]

I hated the Klaus character initially, but really enjoyed him toward the end. The kid who played Five did a great job. But Hazel and Cha-Cha stole the show.

I learned yesterday that the comic this was based off was written by the lead singer of My Chemical Romance.

 

[DeftOne]

I'm about half-way through the season. So far I'd say it's...OK. Just entertaining enough to keep me interested.

I did end up watching the rest of the season. It got a little better as it went on, but not by a lot. Still an overall "OK, but not great" for me. My main complaint is that it was way too predictable. I mean, it didn't take a genius to suss out the cause of the apocalypse.

Klaus and Number Five were by far my favorite characters, followed closely by Hazel and Cha-Cha. I don't know how many episodes it took me to realize Cha-Cha was played by Mary J. Blige. Luther and Diego I did not enjoy, at all. Everyone else was a "meh" for me.

 

[mapnerd]

I really enjoyed it. Can't wait for season 2!

IS this like Mystery Men?

I am down to the last episode and really enjoying it so far. Reminds me of a bit of the Watchmen with the dark complicated characters dealing with forgotten superhuman fame of the past. Good binge watch.

What was up with the beginning of Episode 10? Spaceships? How old was/is their Father?

Also, Klaus and Number 5 were my favorite characters.
