So, I watched the Umbrella Academy a few weeks after it debuted on Netflix and I really enjoyed it. Some choices were not ones that I would make at all because they ruined the enjoyment or took me out of the show. Since it's the first season there is a lot of room for improvement. I would give the first season an 8/10. When the second season was released and I already saw the trailer I was stoked. But then I watched it and became very disappointed. You would think a show with such a high budget would have more creative people handling the costumes, characters, and action. It doesn't bother me too much that the story is sort of predictable and basically a rehash of the first; it should have improved or adapted. Somewhat similar to Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2. I'm sure there is another show or film duology that fits my analogy much better.

Season 2 was disappointing. Many moments that were available where some very cool and compelling, not to mention stylized and longer, action sequences could have and in many instances should have taken place but they don't. Characters don't get enough time to shine. And the costume design is god awful not to mention the writing. I'm sorry but it's not good. Most of the jokes work very well but there are cringe inducing lines and boring clichéd things we have heard a million times before. What holds this and arguably the first season together is Klaus, 5, and Pogo. I don't care that much about any of the other family members or characters. Also, we barely see there powers. They wear these dumb costumes that clearly are meant to be cool but they aren't, but they never have any chance to use their powers. Only hand to hand combat. So lame. Sometimes they do but it's only to propel the plot further. Season 2 was bad. I'd give it a 3/10 or 4/10.

As of writing this Season 3 dropped about 2 weeks ago. I've seen the trailers and watched a ton of clips with action and important moments delaying watching the season. I'm glad I decided not too. From what I've seen it's on par or worse than season 3. If you do not like these types of shows that are nonsensical, (not) superhero flicks causing you to become frustrated at the screen because of decisions made or the fact that these superheroes don't get to use their powers then avoid this. However, I know some people like these shows for whatever reason and if you see anyone saying season 2 or 3 is amazing then they are the type of people who love the current state of the MCU and will jump to the chance to see the new bland blockbuster flick. I'd avoid this show or just watch the first season.
