Facts... I cared about pretty much ever character in this thing. I can’t really remember a weak link in here. I’m actually going to watch it again. I actually liked this more then altered carbon and I think everyone know how much I fucking love that show.
Thought it was just me. Watched an episode and a half and I was kind of struggling to get through it.
The kid is definitely the saving grace so far.
This shit is garbage.
I have been watching the first episode for about a week.
It's like having a root canal on the same tooth over and over.
The cast is absolutely horrible....no colour, flavour or style.
Just regular corny pinks with a mixed chick thrown in....
I can only watch this shit in 5-10 minute intervals.
I got to the part in episode 1 with them dancing....and was like.....
The shit is dumb...not worth finishing

I hope the rest of the episodes get better because I wasn't impressed with the first episode......
I enjoyed it!!
I finish watching the first season of this show and it was ok!!...To me, it started off weak but around the 6th to the last episodes of this show it got pretty good!!..
Props to Mary J..She did her thing in show!!..

Bad dumb decisions over and over again. Basically the typical cac create an unneccesary problem and labor to solve it. Adopting so called special kids just to fuck up their lives

This.
Netflix wanted the Marvel series to be 10 episodes to cut down on filler (cut down cost) but Marvel refused citing the contract was for 13 episodes a season
It was ok. Started off slow but kicked off at the end. VERY predictable... "yes let's suppress the most powerful person on the planet" yep that always ends well.. soooo, was the monocle preparing them to fight their own sister? I think xmen did it first Jean grey = #7
All of this could've been avoided if they'd just communicated with each other... why does everything have to have the dysfunctional family cliche? I just finished watching the Haunting of Hill house and this seemed like the same damn thing...
Having said that I can't wait for season 2, for both

The series is aiight but not all that though.....
Feel the same way
God-Of-War-420
Mr. Pool
Show turned out alright, Def didn’t do the comics justice. Doom patrol and deadly class are way fucking better. Especially doom patrol so far, So weird but so fucking good.
have to agree to disagree on that
mary can't act...her voice is very monotone and boring
if you thought this was weird LOLJust OK. Mary J was suprisingly good. Always gotta be a homosexual
Elaborate....
Ok saw episode 4 last night

Ummm very bbc America
I forgot i read the comics.
The acting is uneven, but i think it was cast well.
MJB / Cha cha looks freaking delicious but she can't act. Interesting choice, cause she making it work, somehow.
How Hazel with no powers beat a gorilla man?
I don't care if the whole cast or supposed to be gay... just be good.
I UNDERSTAND all the characters motivations but something seems paint by the numbers, a little predictable
(Dirk gently?)
Could be my own fault a lifetime of watching and reading this stuff...
Can't judge fairly yet but its good so far.

Umbrella Academy Easter Egg May Explain What Happened To The Other 36 Babies
The Umbrella Academy may have secretly explained what happened to the other 36 super-powered children. The Netflix series, inspired by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá's popular comic books, proved to be a major success when it released in early 2019, becoming the most in-demand digital original series in the US.
The first season of The Umbrella Academy began with the birth of 43 super-powered babies - children of women who had previously shown no signs of pregnancy. Eccentric billionaire Sir Reginald Hargreeves believed these babies would have tremendous potential, so traveled the world seeking out the surviving infants, attempting to persuade their mothers to give them up. He acquired seven of them and founded the Umbrella Academy in order to train them to become heroes. But what the show didn't address directly was what happened to the other 36 kids.
ADVERTISING
RELATED: How The Umbrella Academy Is Different To (& Better Than) The Comics
It's strongly implied that some of the babies died during childbirth, which makes sense given these were entirely unexpected; one birth was shown happening in a swimming pool, and another on a train. A subtle Easter egg - highlighted in Screen Rant's latest video - does suggest what may have happened to the rest of them, however. In one flashback scene, a young Leonard Peabody is shown playing with Umbrella Academy action figures, and he makes a throwaway reference to "the evil Dr. Terminal," an Umbrella Academy foe in the comics.
ADVERTISING
In the comics, Dr. Terminal was a genius inventor who was diagnosed with Einstein Syndrome, a rare (and fictional) disease that eats a person from the nervous system to the brain. He created technology that allowed him to extend the duration of his life by devouring the life-energies of others, and became one of the Umbrella Academy's recurring supervillains. Dr. Terminal is something of a stereotypical bad guy, ultimately driven by an insatiable desire to destroy the Earth.
The Umbrella Academy only featured a few flashbacks to the team's time as active heroes, and they were shown in combat against typical thugs and thieves. But the Easter egg referencing Dr. Terminal suggests that they also had supervillains to fight. It's reasonable to assume that some of these, possibly even Dr Terminal himself, were other kids who'd been born with powers. They could have been the children who survived their unexpected births, and who Sir Reginald Hargreeves failed to collect. Maybe their mothers were reluctant to give them up; perhaps local politics meant Hargreeves was unable to get to them; or maybe the children simply disappeared, given they were born all across the world, not just in developed nations where births are registered. They then grew up and lived their own lives, with some of them potentially becoming the very enemies the Umbrella Academy strove to protect the world from.
ADVERTISING
The Umbrella Academy season 2 looks set to explore the history of Hargreeves' team via time travel, which means it's possible some of their foes will soon make their small-screen debut.
