The Umbrella Academy (2019–2024)
9/10
Bizarre and Fantastic.
17 February 2019
One of the best Netflix Superhero show - and it's not from Marvel or DC. I've been waiting for this series since the first trailer came out, but I haven't read the comic yet, maybe after this I'll read some! The concept is not so different from X-Men, group of kids who's having a 'special' powers. It's so bizzare but interesting. The cast and their performances are outstanding especially Aidan Gallagher - one of the biggest breakout stars this year. The Umbrella Academy is full of tragic characters, also the trauma cause by family.. or 'daddy issues'

The story is about seven kids are adopted by Sir Reginald Hargreeves, who creates The Umbrella Academy and prepares his "children" to save the world. But not everything went according to plan. In their teenage years, the family fractured and the team disbanded. The storyline is great, also the character development. Filled with epic and outstanding action, each of characters have their own charisma and incredible talent. Ellen Page is amazing as always, Robert Sheehan is so lunatic. Not to mention the dynamic duo, Cameron Britton and Mary J. Blige! Also many many creative aspects, love it. Almost forgot, the soundtracks are absolutely amazing! Made the show even more better!

Recommended, worth a watch.
