Have we watched something like this? The story, characters and setting is something we may watching for the first time. Experimental is risky but The Umbrella Academy proves that good experiment may pay well. Many things may be hard to digest but it is what it is. The making is of The Umbrella Academy is also good. Performance wise, Ellen Page, Robert Sheehan did a good job. Cameron Britton and Mary J Blige also did a good job and their combination scenes were humorous and their chemistry payed off well throughout the series. The ending was not good as exepected. Overall, The Umbrella Academy is a good experiment and we should wait for what Netflix has to offer in Season 2.
