I was looking forward to seeing what was apparently a cinematic masterpiece with twists and turns to keep me binge-watching "The Umbrella Academy" in a 10 hour marathon. I didn't realize that the writers of this show were spending about the same amount of time trying hopelessly to stitch this rather jagged and disjointed storyline together.

This series demonstrates that if you spend 90% of your budget on cinematic and CGI fairy land set design, you may have make it a silent movie. Don't get me wrong, looking past the endless foley house mistakes and errors in actor's continuity, the only one redeemable quality is that it is set to a good soundtrack.

This is like watching "Suicide Squad" shoot heroin and shoot up a donut joint. Or Justice League trippin on some bad shrooms, locked in a haunted Chuckie Cheese on Groundhog Day.

But If we have learned anything by now, it is this: you cannot get a cast of very pretty people together and expect the script to simply roll off of their beautiful tounges. The writing should have been done in Mandarin, then DUBBED into English VO. Maybe I'm being a little harsh, but I cannot bear another agonizing moment of these horribly executed scenes. Is there a DIRECTOR in the house??? This is a waste of time and talent. Rewatch Scott Pilgrim Saves the World or Sleepless in Seattle again. If I could get iCarly as director, I may think about a "Director's Cut". Boooooooooo We can do BETTER.
