I struggled to get through THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY, it good, just not very bingeable. It's as darn emo as it's creator. Reads like a wannabe goth kid's dream journal. Everything cool about superheroes, but with nonstop WAAAAHH!! WAAAAHH!! Every character is totally miserable. The allure of their weird, quirky novelty runs out quick. Its worth sticking it out though; plenty of payoff.

It has a lot of really cool moments, but also a lot of moments that just drag & drag & drag. Now that all the character & universe introduction is over, a second season should be really good.
