I am currently around 7 episodes into the series and have loved every moment so far. The slow start perfectly allows time to adapt and learn more about the characters. The story and premise is very simple but effective. Characters, especially such as Klaus are highly amusing which adds to the entertainment of this dysfunctional family story. Ellen page does a brilliant job at portraying Vanya, who is introverted while she is outshined by her siblings. The best part about the show, however, is it's ability to create the perfect scene with its soundtrack including artists such as Gerard Way, Noel Gallaghers High Flying Birds and the usage of songs such as Istanbul by They might be giants or 'I think we're alone now' as the academy separately dance to Tiffany. This is by far one of the most distinctive and identifiable aspects of the show.
