On one day in 1989, 43 infants are inexplicably born to random, unconnected women who showed no signs of pregnancy the day before. Seven are adopted by billionaire industrialist Sir Reginald Hargreeves, who creates the Umbrella Academy and prepares his "children" to save the world. In their teenage years, though, the family fractures and the team disbands. Fast forward to the present time, when the six surviving members of the clan reunite upon the news of Hargreeves' passing. They work together to solve a mystery surrounding their father's death, but divergent personalities and abilities again pull the estranged family apart, and a global apocalypse is another imminent threat. The series is based on a collection of comics and graphic novels created and written by My Chemical Romance lead singer Gerard Way.

Ass Eater T @Supernaturalll May 5 Spoilers!!!! Ugh this show was so peak in the first 2 seasons. Five doing all his shit with the uh evil people cannot remember his name was interesting. I thought the storyline with Reginald was a bit ehh it got my focus more in the last episodes. Klaus having a cult makes total sense. Allison's storyline also made sense. Vanya I wasn't expecting that but it's still good it gets ruined for me towards the end. Lither fighting I could've expected. Diego and Lila was cute. Lila having powers I wasn't expecting. Diego being like that with the president😭 them all being reunited was so cute. Omg I forgot Ben I like how we um see him possessing Klaus their relationship was my favorite this season. The ending being Vanya again I wasn't really happy with. See more Katie D @RT29849696 Nov 26 This season is such a peak very good written and the vintage aesthetic because they time travel back in the 60s, klaus' cult, allison for justice for black people, more scenes and information about the commission, the fight between the commission and the umbrellas, sissy and viktor/vanya's relationship, Diego with his obsession to save the president, Reginald with his plans. This is the season of umbrella academy See more Dave O. @daevo77 Sep 26 This season provided a better arc than season 1 and some much needed character development, especially for Vanya and Diego. That said, Number Five and Klaus stole every scene they were in, and brought heart and levity to the show. See more Logan M @RT50694538 Jul 23 Definitely the best character development by far See more Matt P @RT68191824 03/17/2025 Continues where the season one left. Not as good as first season but still pretty good nevertheless. See more Jade C @RT26690962 01/15/2025 You're gonna pay for that vending machine, little mister! See more Read all reviews
