I am here to review the umbrella academy. having binge watched the whole series over a weekend, to keep the story fresh in my mind, I have come to the conclusion that it is a semi-solid story that is let down by the characters. they seems to be a rehash of the magicians cast of characters. Klaus is Elliot, luther is quinn, 5 is penny, etc. once you get some time in the series, it does have some standouts, ex, hazel and cha cha are great. ellen paige does a good job as vanya. I hope the second season delves a little more in character development since the series tried to cram a lot of info in the first couple of episodes.
