The Umbrella Academy

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!

Really enjoyed this show but the last season completely felt out of sync with the whole show. Ended in such a dumb way. It had potential but this seemed like a huge after thought. None of the characters except for Claude seemed like themselves. It's so sad they have so much trouble ending these shows on a good note. This season while it has some interesting parts there was so much missing and most of the characters did nothing. Why so short also. Getting really tired of these 6 episode season where the writing is crap and nothing happens and it's called a season much less a series finally. Blah.

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.

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.

Season 1 and 2 are Incredibly entertaining, wildly inventive, and full of complex characters with a fresh new idea in a world of superhero content, by providing something deeper and more personal than most superhero content dares to attempt. His casting is amazing. The show is also excellently shot, notably its cinematography during its action sequences. Its writing and directing is often on point, inciteful at times, and the show is also full of delightful twists that kept me more than interested as the show went on. Besides all these excellent traits, The Umbrella Academy also has a fantastic soundtrack and a wonderfully nostalgic attitude that will keep you entertained all the way through.

If the show had ended in 2020 with his season 2, it would have been one of the best Netflix series, but the show kept going and the 2 next seasons are so bad that i will never watch them again in my life. The characters were butchered, the plot was so boring and stupid. CGI became horrible. No more budget. I didn't even cared for the characters anymore while i loved them so much in S1/S2. There is so many problems with S3 and S4 that i can't list them all. All i know is that you will have horrible time watching those awfuls seasons...
