This show is shot so well. It feels like a John Hughes film with a bit of Tim Burton mixed in. So this was done very well and honestly I think what kept me in. The story is a rich man adopts 7 children with abilities and they're driven to be like superheroes. Except only 6 have abilities and Ellen Page doesn't...... You already know where this is going. Honestly they are the worst heroes I've ever seen. They screw up over and over and get beat up over and over except for number 5. None of the characters are interesting or likeable except Klaus and even tho he can be a turd I still liked number 5. I finished the second season and 5 really is the only one that serves any purpose until the end of each season where the same person makes themself relevant to the story. I enjoyed it, but there's so much to be desired. They honestly could throw out everyone, but 5 and Klaus and I think it would be a better show. Both seasons start great and by the end of each season I find myself to be frustrated at the stupidity of these people when it's all coming down and they need to make the right decision trust me they'll make the wrong one except for drum roll............... Number 5. This show could be a 10, but when I see what is the wrong decision and know at least one if not all will make the wrong choice it gets old. You don't see them and say Oh here comes a fight. This should be great. You say Oh boy......a fight. They're gonna get beat up again. That gets old. Top notch camera work. Creative writing and story will grab you, but the characters are boring, stupid, bratty, etc except for Klaus and number 5. The umbrella academy itself will make you think about shutting it off.
