The Umbrella Academy is one of those shows that being with an interesting concept and then in slow motion deteriorates into an unbearable soap saga. The show progressively added insufferable characters, such as Lila Pitts (who incidentally takes the cake for the most sloppy acting), the annoying kid (Stan), Klaus (the gay psychic ghost communicator), among others. In fact, fast-forwarding 10 seconds every time these characters appear on the scene is a splendid way to get past the annoyance and miss nothing in the plot. The first season showed a lot of promise, with the time travel concept and when the writers ran out of ideas, they reset the plot in season 2 and tried to run with the same used ideas. By the 3rd season, shorn of new ideas, they set on a torturous labyrinth of annoying cliches, triggered characters, lies and backstabbings.

Props to Number Five (Aidan), Luther (Tom Hopper), Pogo (the monkey), Hazel (Cameron), etc for at least trying, to save this sham of a show.
