Who is watching this? I’m really enjoying it, and I’m not really a huge superhero fan in general. The music is excellent. The bits of humor are great. I’m loving Mary J. Blige. The actor that plays Five is fantastic. We’ve watched 5 episodes now so we are halfway through.

We just finished it last weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait till the next season! Agreed that the music was great.

I binged on it this week. Now I'm bleary eyed and sleep deprived.
Klaus really grew on me, as did Hazel.

I didn't think I would like it and I still preferred DC's Titans but I ended up really enjoying it.

I finished last week. I'm probably going to start the comic today. Klaus is a treasure. Luther can suck a dick.

Sidenote: I went to B&N last week to get the books because everywhere was sold out online, and their website said it was in-store. I go to the graphic novel section and also scour the front tables, but can't find it. I ask a guy behind the desk, "Do you have the Umbrella Academy books?" He replies, "They are graphic novels actually." I could hardly contain my eyeroll. Motherfucker, I know what they are. Don't use your condescending fan-boy tone on me.

Klaus was reminding me of someone so much for the first episode or two, and I finally realized - he looks like he could be related to the girl that plays Franky in Wentworth. Something about the eyes. I thought I had to be right and maybe they were siblings but no, they aren’t.

I ordered a copy of the first book from amazon to be sent whenever they are back in stock.

I watched it whenever it came out on Netflix. I loved it and the music was phenomenal. I love when they pair crazy ass scenes and music. The music director should get an award for so many of those scenes.

I mean, that scene in the first episode with all of the characters dancing in a separate room to Tiffany’s “I Think We’re Alone Now” was phenomenal. Then when they cut back and showed the entire front view of the house without the wall and you could see into each room at the same time; loved it.

Like I said, I’m only 5 episodes in, but I am going to be annoyed if nothing else happens with the detective that was murdered in the motel. How is there not an investigation for that? Why aren’t there police swarming around the motel?

That's how you know it was written by a scene kid.

We have a thread on the geek board! Oops sorry about this duplicate thread. This is the only place I go (TV/blinds/celebs).

Do we think they actually reverted back to childhood or it was a metaphor for them finally acting like a family?
I'm not really here for watching a bunch of teens. Number 5 can stay though because he's one of the better child actors I've ever seen.

I asked Alexa to play this soundtrack and I was looking for the songs you posted. They are NOT the same as what Alexa plays

Just finished it. I kind of feel like the show got more corny, cheesy, and ridiculous as it went on. I’ll still watch but there were so many ‘are you serious’ moments as it went on.

Am I the only one that thinks Klaus is 😍 Nope! That's been the general consensus on the thread on the Geek board. I just wanna hug and make him hot cocoa. Or a cake. Or a plate of cookies. Basically, I just want to mother him. Lol.
