Netflix seems to come out with something new almost weekly, and yet sifting through the new content I rarely find something that isn't just mediocre. So I was pleasently surprised at how good and fresh this super hero series was. Umbrella Academy is the kind of content Netflix should be focusing on and that will keep Netflix viewers renewing their subscriptions.

This is a different take on super heroes in the vein of Watchmen: It is dark, unconventional, original and binge worthy.

I don't have to say much about the plot because that is outlined in the description. I binged the whole first season in one day and like any good show I'm suffering from withdrawal at the last episode. When you watch the first episode it may take you a few beats to navigate the characters and just what it is that you are watching, but hang on! You are in for a great ride.
