The Umbrella Academy (Official Thread)

[erfaan 2,528]

Didn't see a official thread for this so here it is. I was doubtful to watch this show but I just binged it. Hands down one of my favourite shows in a while. 

The plot follows a dysfunctional family of superheroes, who come together to solve the mystery of their father's death, the threat of an apocalypse and more.

Watched the show? Post your thoughts below. What do you think season two will entail? Who is your favourite character? 

My favourite characters are pretty much all of them  except I can't stand number one.

My teenage emo self is eager to watch it.

LOL two of my friends watched it and hated the characters 

But they say it's a good show 

so I'm doubtful.....

Watch it. Trust me. It's super engaging! Haven't liked a show this much since Stranger Things.

I can see how they could think that. They can get a lil irritating at times but that's sort of the charm because they're so dysfunctional. There's a character named Klaus, who is super likeable!

Finished it in one night last weekend. It was awesome. I enjoyed it. There are HERO feels to it, which I don't mind at all.

Also it got great music in it

Numerous times I wanna slap Vanya and Klaus back and forth, but in the same time I also symphatize with them.

That dance scenes is instamtly a classic.

Hope Season 2 are even better. And Ben, have more Ben on season 2!

I started watching it this week with my brother. I actually like it so far. That boy character is very well acted. I can actually believe he's an older guy in a kid's body.  

That big guy is really hot but his head isn't to ratio so I call him "pinhead".

I think the characters are great. There's one or two obnoxious characters but they're meant to be that way.

His character is extremely selfish. It annoyed me that he doesn't seem to care for Vanya at all and just attempted to kill her before anyone knew she had powers?

My friends and I wanted to try watching the first episode last night before I went to sleep, which was a bad idea because we ended up being super into it and wanted to watch the next episode too !  The first two were really interesting; I can't wait to watch the rest.

i've ended watching it yesterday and felt emptiness after the finale, like i want more, i want to see what happens next and got kinda sad after i found out that we might wait a little longer for the second season

and characters... man i love them (well, most of them - Luther was so annoying i wanted to punch the screen everytime he showed up also Vanya's supidity threw me off sometimes) especially Klaus, Allison, also Ben, i want more Ben

and the villlains, i loved the cha-cha and hazel's relationship, the boss bitch was also good, only Leonard was kinda frustrating

and the soundtrack, hands down one of the best soundtracks along "the runaways" series

overall a pretty good show and i hope the second season will be even better

 for those who've seen the finale:

Spoiler

really if you want to watch this series and don't want spoilers don't go there

Spoiler

i really hope that when they go back in time they won't be kids. like that's my only demand. and for the boss bitch lady, cha-cha and hazel to live

The soundtrack and most importantly the timing of the songs with the show were spot on! 

AND YES. 100% WITH YOUR HOPES FOR SEASON 2. I feel like it'll be a little too similar to Stranger Things.

He was my absolute favourite of the whole show. I adore him!

It was a pretty good show, quite easy to binge. The actor that played Number 5 is a joy to watch and I love Ellen Page and Robert Sheehan so watching this was a given. There were some predictable sc-fi trope but overall, it was pretty great. Hopeful for a season 2.
