Umbrella Academy
So has anyone watched this yet? I'm about halfway way through it & have to admit that it's pretty good.

Re: Umbrella Academy
What I've seen so far is good. I do think the common criticism of it, that holding back on the superpowers for the first few episodes makes it feel like every other estranged family drama out there, is valid.
Re: Umbrella Academy
I've watched it.
I get Fuzzy`s point, but figured it was more of a buildup than just another dysfunctional family...
Five is my favourite character. His actor really sells that he's older than he appears. Correction, Five and Dolores are my favourite characters.

Re: Umbrella Academy
At first Klaus annoyed me with his random "wacky guy" bits, but now he's kind of become my favorite as I've gotten to the part where they explain why he's that way.
Though I do think all the main actors did a good job with their parts.

Re: Umbrella Academy
What episode are you up to?
I absolutely hated Klaus at first, then I was sympathetic to him, then it was... damn. That’s a good character and a great actor.
Which was my opposite development with Luther. Liked him... was sympathetic and end up not really caring about him.
Want season two already !!

Re: Umbrella Academy
Just finished episode 7 this morning.
That scene where Klaus finally talks to Hargreeves said a lot about how that man viewed the kids.I absolutely hated Klaus at first, then I was sympathetic to him, then it was... damn. That’s a good character and a great actor.
Yeah, based on what I've watched so far I'm hoping they get the go ahead for a 2nd season.Which was my opposite development with Luther. Liked him... was sympathetic and end up not really caring about him.
Want season two already !!

The scene with Klaus in the Veteran's bar with the subsequent flashbacks... that's what redeemed the character for me.

Re: Umbrella Academy
The show felt like a lot of Netflix shows vs a broadcast tv like show. It sort of assumed you would binge(or do mini binges) it and not get caught up in characters starting out unlikable before the full characters dimensions were exposed later. In a crowded field of super hero like shows, it was refreshing to see a show mix the classic family torn apart by personal conflicts with classic super hero tropes like saving the world plus tossing in scifi concepts. After that ending, season 2 is setup to be really good.
