This show is everything I searched for in every X-men film. Sadly the latter didn't provide me with the emotional impact I got from the Umbrella Academy. The emotional rollercoaster ride called Umbrella Academy is immensely entertaining. The performances of Robert Sheehan, Ellen Page and "Mindhunters" Cameron Britton are great, but especially the FANTASTIC performance of 13-year old number five, Aidan Gallagher, is amazing. This kid has a genius performance, as the 58 year old brain into a 13 year old body. I will be curious for future films of this young man.

Also the musical score of this show is marvelous. I don't know how they could afford these songs for a tv-show, but I'll take it.

In the end, superhero shows, films, series, etc. should focus and reflect on our own humanity. The disfunctional family dynamic in this show is so amazingly portrait that I was glued to the screen at the every moment. I can't wait for season 2, and I am even interested in reading the comicbook now.

Well done writers, directors and actors! Bravo!
