Love this show. +Whatever to Klaus being my favorite. His character really grew on me with each episode. And with Vanya, why couldn't she have been taught how to manage her emotional states to better handle her powers? Kind of like Elsa in Frozen? Wouldn't that have been better than drugging her up and making her feel like a total outsider? Eventually, she was bound to discover what she is capable of and, I don't know, I just feel like it would have been smart to teach her how to deal with it all. Reginald is just as dickish as those terrible parents in Frozen. I have feelings about them. Omg. This is exactly what I was thinking. DH is tired of my Frozen rants, I'm sure. He also goes to bat for the popular, they are really Tarzan's parents theory. Which cannot be true. Because many reasons.

Yeah. That's why Reginald is the worst. All of the children were made to be emotionally stunted adults. He was more concerned with his vigilante killing machine than training them to understand their powers in a helpful way. It caught me with how so easily they went into that bank and just slaughtered the thieves. There were other ways to do that. I could rant for ages on why he sucks. And he wasn't just mean and a bad dad, he was stupid! If he'd actually raised them well, he could have saved the damn world easily! Like give them actual names! They are people, not numbers.

I watched the first episode last night. I'm hooked.
I'll come back to discuss once I've finished the season.

This show is the opposite of anything I'd ever care to watch. My friends talked me into it and I LOVED it!!!! It was so good. I agree that the music was amazing. The dancing scene was my favorite.
#5 and Klaus are the best. I enjoy how the characters are still learning the true potential of their powers. I cannot wait until season 2.

Totally agree that the music is amazing. I came across this list and I love that it has a sentence about which point in the show the song plays. I know there are playlists out there but I need one on my Amazon playlist and haven't found any with this mix of music! screenrant.com/umbrella-academy-season-1-songs/

I finally watched this and I'm not sure how I feel about it. Reginald was the worst, as was Pogo. Luther sucked. Klaus is the best.

I am bumping even though I don’t go here. I’m binged it the last few days.
Not touching the Allison/Luther thing. Also not touching Five and Delores. I absolutely love Klaus.
I’m curious as hell what happened to Ben, though. I’m hoping they delve into that in season 2. He looks normal compared to the other dead people they showed in episode 4 (or was it 5).
Diego and Luther are both assholes.
To summarize everything else, it’s exactly what I’d expect from Gerard Way, though I know he probably didn’t do too much in the way of the actual script for the show.

I’ve never read the comics so this is just in my head since I’ve seen the show. Did you guys notice that when the handler was killed that one shot from the camera made her look a lot like that doll five carries along with him. Is there a connection? Or was I too high that night?

miawallace the mannequin came first. He picked her up when he arrived following the apocalypse. The first time he met the handler was about 30 years later. But you could be on to something about them choosing a handler for him that resembles the mannequin.

But you could be on to something about them choosing a handler for him that resembles the mannequin. I just remember him saying she likes sequence. So I was trying to figure out if the handler fit that description in some way. Like a weird infatuation with her.

Dudes. My husband just tried to tell me that Netflix didn't renew season 2 and I about cried. I'm so glad to know that he was somehow mistaken, as evidenced by a fairly quick Google search.

With GOT almost being over I'd be ok to argue this one again. 😂

I just watched this and I liked it. And I never like stuff like this.
My husband was trying to say the Allison/Luther thing wasn't gross and I was like da fuq??
