Wow!! I was hooked
I confess, I knew little about The Umbrella Academy before picking up the series on Netflix, but I am so glad I did. The series combined dark humour with an intriguing plot line and sprinkled a great sound track into the mix to create a truly unique show.
The series centres around a family, purchased as children by Sir Reginald Hargreeves, and their mission to discover the cause of their fathers death as well as preventing the imminent apocalypse. Each of the children (adults in most cases by the time the series is set) have unique super powers, with the exception of Vanya, who has be partially excluded from family affairs as a result.
The casting of the show couldn’t have been any better, with a mix of characters you can take seriously and others who add a touch of humour to the show. Notably Robert Sheehan, who plays Klaus - I have been a fan of his work since Misfits, and Cameron Britton, who plays Hazel (An assassin who falls for Agnes, a waitress who is significantly older than himself). The series was well acted and a wide range of emotions were shown by the actors.
The only real downfall to the series was that it was so short (and ended on a cliff hanger, so please, please renew the show Netflix). I was left wanting more after episode 10.
I highly recommend watching this.

Loved the entire series. Each episode made me want to watch more. Hope theres more in the works because this was fabulous. Learning about each character and how and why they were was fascinating. Watching how they each learned about different things about their dad n why he did or didnt do stuff was great. Recommend to all.

Right from the start this series grabs your attention with an interesting premise and well thought out characters. I never knew what to expect because the story always kept me guessing and the reveals in each plot point were great. The entire cast is fantastic and I kept watching because I wanted to see what happened next. The music soundtrack for the show is great too and fits really well with the vibe of the scenes that have music. I really enjoyed it.
