Umbrella Academy has a lot of similarities as The Boys from my POV. Great characters like Klaus and #5 make the show something special to see. Weaker characters like Luther and Diego can slow the show down painfully. There are hilarious exchanges and some well thought out plots. Sometimes, though, it just takes 2 or 3 superfluous episodes too long to get the plot in motion. What seems like development in the beginning sometimes turns out to be filler, and some things get dropped completely with vague resolution. It's not the entirety of the show, otherwise it would be unbearable. It's simply its Achilles' heel. That said, I am looking forward to season 3 after the wild cliffhanger at the end of season 2.
