Everyone seems to be raving about this new Netflix series. The likes of, "Oh this is awesome," or "fantastic story"... Blah blah Blah!

Personally I feel this series is a pathetic attempt to tell The same overtold story again, hopefully fooling The viewer into believing it's original and new. I can recite a number of before released series with the same plot and premise... Heros strongly comes to mind here.

The story and plot is boring and overdone. Seen and heard it all before.

There is nothing about this series that impresses me. I will however, give it a fair 5 stars out of 10 for effort, acting and special effects. The 5 stars it missed out on is because nothing about The Umbrella Academy is original. Sorry guys. Good try, but not good enough.
