My favorite has to be Klaus, who has the ability to communicate with the dead. Which is a testament to the writers and the actors involved. I don’t think I hated any of the Hargreeves siblings, regardless of their questionable actions at times. The characters are clearly broken but still, somehow, remain likable. Everyone is fractured in their own way, and a lot of that blame is clearly on Hargreeves for his lack of parenting skills. The series takes place decades after the formation of the superhero team as the siblings reunite to solve the mystery of their father’s death.
Where The Umbrella Academy strays off from the Marvel property is with its stunted characters and totally unlikable “father”, Reginald Hargreeves. If you are at all familiar with the X-Men, I think you know where the story goes from here. Hargreeves is only able to adopt seven of them but six of those seven begin to develop superpowers. When 43 women who weren’t pregnant when the day began give birth, billionaire Sir Reginald Hargreeves sets out to adopt as many of the children as possible. This is a show adapted from The Umbrella Academy comic series, developed by artist Gabriel Bá and My Chemical Romance’s Gerard Way. The Umbrella Academy tries (and succeeds) in filling those shoes. That’s an enormous chunk of programming that Netflix had to fill. Netflix has just officially severed its ties with Marvel and has canceled five of their shows. The Umbrella Academy is an amazing surprise to Netflix’s TV lineup and it probably couldn’t have come at a better time.
