Should You Watch The Umbrella Academy ?

Okay, today we diving in straight to business. A business that's weird, huge, little confusing and involves a fifty year old man who looks like a 13 year old boy.  Today we talking about the Umbrella Academy. I know it's totally different from the Marvel and DC and Games that I normally cover but Umbrella comic is bases on a comic and by the law of comic that i am bound to by reading comics, I am meant to comment on comic related series or movies( Even planning on a special episode revolving around Anime live action movies.  Coming soon )

I have been watching the Umbrella Academy on Netflix and it's a show that looks like it has nothing to offer you and yet you still find yourself wanting to watch more. Some period I'm  like what am I watching and the next am like I gotta know more. But everyone who has Watched the show agrees on one thing;the kid in  the series is magnificent. Aidan Gallagher is the main reason I watch the series, I am always waiting to see what he would do next. He is an awesome actor ,really good. That is enough about Nicky,  and let's dive into what The Umbrella Academy is really about.



First of all The Umbrella Academy is an American comic book series created and written by Gerard Way and illustrated by Gabriel Bá. The first six-issue limited series, The Umbrella Academy: Apocalypse Suite, was released by Dark Horse Comics, between September 14, 2007, and February 20, 2008 and It won the 2008 Eisner Award for Best Finite Series/Limited Series.
On February 15, 2019 a television adaptation premiered on Netflix. The plot revolves around a dysfunctional family of adopted sibling superheroes who reunite to solve the mystery of their father's death, and the threat of an impending apocalypse that begins in a week. That's  all I can say without giving any form of spoilers but if you don't care you about spoilers then you can watch it or look for spoilers online ( I assure you, you will find plenty). Like I said the film tone is a little sour, but it makes up for it with it's dark humor, good storyline,  stunning visual and good cast (favorite being Aidan Gallagher)



The  main cast of the series includes:

Tom Hopper as Luther /Number One . He is huge due to an accident that made his father do something unorthodox to save his life,making him have an ape like upper body.

David Castaneda as Diego/ Number Two.  Very stubborn and rebellious, his ability is being able to curve the trajectory of anything he throws.

Emmy Raver-Lampman as Allison/Number Three. Her ability are dangerous, more deadly than Number 7 to me. She can alter reality with a phrase " I heard a rumor... "

Robert Sheehan as Klaus / Number Four.  A flamboyant and pansexual drug addict with the ability to communicate with the dead.

Aidan Gallagher as Number 5. Never stuck around to get a name,since he mysteriously disappeared. His ability is jumping through space and time and being rude even though he is Number 5. In his defense being stuck in a post apocalyptic world will do that to you

Justin H. Min as Ben  / Number Six . He can possesses monsters from other dimensions under his skin. Ben is deceased but appears regularly to Klaus and helps him occasionally.

Ellen Page as Vanya  / Number Seven. She is Constantly told she has no supernatural abilities and is nothing special, only for her to shock everyone with having an ability that could bring about the end of the world.

The cast of the series are good. Really has a way of pulling you into their stories as an individual and as a family. I can recommend  you watch it . Its really worth your time (I think)

Well that's all I have for now.

Till next time Stay unique
