Cannot wait for this show!

 

[Breogan]

Love it!

Luther's Martian-gorilla-body space-suit confirmed?

LOL Diego is just going to be pissing everyone off!
He is right sik with those knives though... as a kid and adult.

And MJ Blige a time traveling assassin, she just takes to the role LOL!

Love these damaged heroes.

5 episodes in, and I rather adore this. All the actors are really good, the soundtrack is rather fantastic, ,the action more the decent and the writing overall is very strong. I also really like the look and general vibe.

 

[Persona]

It's like if The Royal Tenenbaums was a superhero show on streaming...

I mean, it starts off with a montage set to the Kinks, for crying out loud.

 

[Leo Zelinsky]

What is the name of the actor who plays Older Ben?

 

[Deck Rickard]

Two episodes in and really digging it! Love all the main characters. Also, if Matt Reeves is looking to include Robin in his series of Batman films, he should definitely consider Aiden Gallagher (The Boy). That kid is rad.

And he already knows how to wear the mask.

Watched 2 episodes and looks like I'm hooked, be watching the rest tomorrow

 

[KevTravels]

Just finished it.

Luther was a terrible leader and boring character. Klaus and Number 5 were the standouts. Diego was a tad dull but the actor did the best he could.

I was glad the end of the series gave Ellen Page more to do. Halfway through the series, I kept wondering if they realized she was an Oscar nominee and big star 8 years ago.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Finished tonight. Loved it, more then I even anticipated. Ellen Page is most definitely special. It very much is the superhero version of Hill House, and all the better for it. It all just blends together so well. Knows when to be emotional, knows when to make you laugh. I really hope it gets renewed. I want to see where that ending is going. Bad.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Almost done and loving the show and all the characters. Since they have seemed to drastically toned down the world the show takes place in compared to the comics I wonder how they will go on for a 2nd season (assuming Netflix gives it one since who knows with them anymore). I guess they can explore the other 40 children that are out there.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

Forgot this came out already! Digging into it now. So excited.

 

[Black Narcissus]

I like this show.

 

[Closerframe]

Just finished all ten episodes and I have mixed feelings. Certain plot elements really worked for me while some idiotic reoccurring character decisions made it hard to finish certain scenes. Overall, I’m down to see where they take the second season—if there is one...

 

[Black Narcissus]

Five is the mvp so far for me. lol

Wes Anderson mixed with Hillhouse, just a dab of hellboy, and the general cb plot.

Wes Anderson mixed with Hillhouse, just a dab of hellboy, and the general cb plot.

Five is hilarious. The Istanbul scene in the first episode is pretty perfect. Both the build up and the actual action scene.

'Umbrella Academy' Creators Break Down That Destructive Season Finale

How much of the show's future do you have mapped out?

Gerard Way: There's eight graphic novels planned in total, and we're on the third series right now. Now that we've started up again, we're averaging about a year and a half per series for the turnaround. Steven knows what happens in all of those eight volumes; I wrote up this document for him and the writers, which explains what will happen through all of the graphic novels.

So are you planning a parallel eight-season run for the show?

Blackman: Yeah. It's wonderful to have that [outline], because it gives you a springboard. Some of it will work and some of it won't, but what's nice about it is, I know where [Gerard's] head is going. The idea is not to deviate too much, we want to stay on course with what the comics are doing, and having that plan ahead of time allows us to set some things up now for later seasons, things that you'll see and later be like, "Oh, I get that now, they did that for this reason." That's what we're thinking ahead to.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

By the Maker, let there be more seasons.

 

[RockSP]

One thing that didn't make sense was Hazel being able to fight Spaceboy. If he could do that it doesn't make sense that he had trouble with Diego and Cha-Cha.

I'll cross my fingers that we can get at least 4.

 

[Golgo-13]

Really enjoyed the show. Hope we get a season 2. Agreed that Number 5 is mvp.

Only thing that irked me throughout the season was number 3 not using her powers of suggestion in some situation where it would have been plausible.

 

[KaijuDude1992]

Really enjoyed this show. Finished it last night and man I cannot wait to see where it goes with Season 2 which I hope that we get. This felt so refreshing for some reason compared to all the other superhero tv shows out there. I found the characters to all be pretty likable in their own quirky ways, but Number Five and Klaus were definitely the biggest standouts, but I must also give major props to Cameron Britton. I knew the guy looked familiar, but I had no idea he was the same dude who played Edmund Kemper in Mindhunter. Man is that guy talented and I loved how him and Mary J. Blige had so much personality which is something I can't remember seeing a whole lot of villains having. They were almost as likable as the heroes which I found to be pretty interesting.

Also, the actress who plays Allison is so damn gorgeous. I don't think I have ever seen her anything else before, but it was almost distracting how beautiful she was every time she appeared onscreen.

 

[Matt.S99]

As a fan of the comic, I really dig the show.
I’m definitely anticipating season 2.
