Funny, sweet, outrageous; third time out it once again puts on a brolly good show.
The best thing that can be said about season two, then, is that it is that same show [as season one] but good. Not perfect, certainly, but if Sir Reginald Hargreeves has made any of his terrible lessons abundantly clear, it’s that people will continue to improve if you repeatedly tell them that they’re bad and you don’t love them.

Good cast , Directing and brilliant soundtracks
The Entire timing was super Love Klaus
Mainly.
Report
this is a show most people either love or hate, it has sci-fi themes and involves time travel and that may appeal to some and not others. I personally lvoed this show but if the above themes dont interest you I doubt you'll enjoy it.

The show is every bit as good, as delightfully odd, and as touching as the comic.
While the title might evoke images of dark clouds, the forecast for Umbrella Academy actually looks pretty bright. Assuming, you know, that the world doesn't end.
For a show with an occasionally impressive exterior (the interplay between Klaus and Ben gets an impressive-looking added wrinkle), the emotional heartbeat underneath is largely absent. Part of that comes from being stretched thin enough that characters without a well-established core are often left flailing, but it’s mostly due to the show’s continued affinity for the reset button.
The Umbrella Academy does have some senses of style and humor, which help distract from the yawning chasm of nonsense lurking in its core. But nearly every aspect of the show would be stronger if any of its logical boundaries had any weight at all, if there were any consistency to the realm of what is and is not possible in its world.
Netflix already has A Series of Unfortunate Events and could have easily titled The Umbrella Academy, its new series, A Series of Pointless Scenes. ... It probably doesn't help that the writing is superficial and the acting suboptimal, or that the whole thing relies on an ostensible quirkiness and viewers' innate sense that they've seen echoes of this many other places.
Amazing cast that really bring the characters to life. And the special effects are top notch compared to other shows. Highly recommend it!!!

A quirky absurdist take on the superhero genre is a refreshing rebellion against the hoarding constraints of the marvel corporations public dominion of successful superhero adaptation . Umbrella academy makes a good case often times for it's suspension of conventional tropes buy I get vexed by how often it forgets itself by either leaning in too hard on it's comic book orgin or just forgetting driving arcs out of convenience. The second season is by far the best one,it has the charaters at their most interesting as well as repackaging the reoccurring "doomsday" plot really well without it becoming mundane, predictable or boring. Season three however is an awkward joyless uneven ride pushed by stiff performances and exhausting arcs. It's very disappointing seeing how much it has regressed in quality from the cgi,performances & writing .
Report
Show is beyond decent however the Vanya story lines **** and here character is incredibly annoying. Just washed through her stuff. Otherwise good show.

Okay, so in the first season they made one of the characters ****. No big deal, even though it had nothing to do with the comic. We can deal with it as long as we get our action. Overall not a horrible story line, although he acting leaves something to be desired. Then of course you get to season two, and the woke crowd starts taking over. Ellen Page goes from timid girl to super lesbian, much like real life, so now you got the whole LBG key q r s t v a w crowd really just driving you crazy and ruining the storyline. So much potential, ruined like Netflix always does!
