The Umbrella Academy

While Season One of The Umbrella Academy had a tonal imbalance and took a little too long to get to the good stuff, it was still watchable and populated with fun, relatable characters. Season 2 manages to not only keep the best parts of its inaugural run, but fixes all of its missteps along the way.

Characters are further defined and have well-motivated arcs, the universe expands nicely, the tone is consistent while maintaining a powerful emotional through-line, and the weirdness factor is turned up to 11.

All in all if you can get through a rocky but entertaining freshman season, you'll be blown away and throughly satisfied with the wilder and wackier follow up.

Robert Sheehan as Klaus for me is the best thing about this show. Overall it got better as it went on. Looking forward to a new season.

Very entertaining series about superheroes, where superheroes have a life, a character, dramas and traumas... But what in my opinion raises it above the already good series is the use of music in the movie. Remarkable, impressive, needs to recognized with an award. It's been years (pulp fiction?) since I saw such a perfect use of music for the last time!

Adrian Gallagher, Five, is a genuine standout for his acting in a series which is largely plagued by a storyline with rampant plot holes.

The writers had an initial idea that seemed to work but the series just never really comes together or finds a way to keep me truly interested. The plot drags on and the way they attempt to wrap up certain parts of the story is increasingly unsatisfying.

7/10 - Writing is just falling flat while, Five, is carrying the series on his back. Help the dude out.

After season 2 everything went downhill. We had high expectations but we ended up with garbage. Season 4 is especially bad, you can practically feel the hate toward the viewers. Not to mention the contradiction galore and stupid plot.

!!! Anyone who forces others to listen to Baby Shark is an *'/+%*) and should be painfully and slowly tortured then executed. !!!

I recommend to watch only the first two seasons and forget about the other two. It will keep you calmer, saner, happier.

The ending is almost Dexter level bad and we still did not get every answer and because of that a real closure.
