The Umbrella Academy (2019) Review - 8/10 Rating

We have rated The Umbrella Academy 8 out of 10, because it embraces the weirdness of its comic-book roots while still delivering strong emotional character stories. Robert Sheehan’s Klaus quickly became a fan-favourite thanks to his chaotic humour and emotional vulnerability, while Aidan Gallagher’s Five steals scenes with his sarcastic intelligence and exhausted attitude. The show constantly balances absurd situations with surprisingly heartfelt family drama. Visually stylish and packed with memorable music choices, The Umbrella Academy carved out its own identity in the crowded superhero television landscape.
