The Umbrella Academy (NO SPOILERS)

No love for this??....


What is peoples opinion on this Netflix show, without blowing the ending please.

It has a bit of a Pulp Fiction vibe at certain cutscene. But for me, I'm liking it so far.

I love the duo with Mary J. Blige and Cameron Britton. I happen to love all the characters so far, especially Robert Sheehan's role.

I loved the trailer enough to go ahead and read the comic TPBs before it hit netflix. Loved the comics, loved the show even though there's some big differences but it all comes full circle at the end.

Really enjoy all the characters and they dynamics together, very cool show.

I also went on to watch the first episode of Doom Patrol, which blew my mind, such a brilliant tone and as far away from the other CD/CW shows as you can get, in the best possible way. I didn't mind Titans, but even that pales to the tone of the first episode and I hope they can keep it up!

Finished all of the episodes on Saturday. Haven't read the comic, but became instantly addicted to the show.

I've never read the comic on this, but I'm sure its better then the actual show.

I have to check out Doom Patrol. Thanks for that tidbit

I've only watched the first two. So far I like it. I've never read the comic but if I end up liking the show I'll check it out.

I finished it, just felt a little let down by the end is all. I would have rated it higher if I had gotten just a little bit more closure.

I'm enjoying it for the most part. It's an interesting mix.
