Umbrella Academy

[spathiphyllum]

On a recent thread titled "Netflix Series" knowabit recommended that I watch Umbrella Academy.

I saw this on Netflix prior to the recommendation but i boycotted it. The reason for this is because I'm not a massive fan of all the Marval films etc.. the repeated iron mans all the captian america jazz and how they all subtly link up.. I'ts a bit deep and nerdy for me so for some reason i thought Umbrella Academy would link up to this complex world of sci fi.

However, i heard it doesn't.. so i'm now mid season.

I can't recommend this show enough, it's very interesting and not like any other superhero movie or other comic style superhero

Has anyone watched it?

Nope

Retrocop if you have Netflix then i recommend it to you. It's a good series, if you're a fan of the comic book super series's then you'd love it

So happy you like it....I loved it. The guy who plays Five is amazing!

Oh he is my favourite character! To be honest it's his weird socks and what appears to be oversized shoes which makes him bril. How he still sports the uniform. Love it!

The character development of number 7 is fantastic, and exsactly what i thought it would be to the tea.

Don't think it's our cup of tea. But to each his own and I like to see Netflix recommendations here.

Samuraisan i thought that at first, i really thought nope, this is the opposite of what i want, but i was wrong! I even watched the first 30 seconds once, thought nope this is about some russian war stuff and turned it off, only to change my mind recently.

BTW it's got nothing to do with Russia war at all lol, just the opening scene made me think.

Isn't it superheros, robots and fantasy ?

[spathiphyllum]

Kind of, but not how you’d think!

I was put off by those exact reasons but after half of S1 im hooked

I'm currently in the middle of ep3 and enjoying it.

I love Robert Sheehan and I think he's a very unique actor.
