The Umbrella Academy is a series adaptation of the comic book of the same name written by Gerard Way.
In October 1989, 43 women from different regions of the world gave birth to 43 babies. 7 out of 43 babies with different superpowers are adopted by billionaire Sir Reginald Hargreeves. 7 children, who were raised as superheroes under the name of The Umbrella Academy to protect the world, have accomplished successful tasks on time, but as they grow up, they are separated from each other and spread to their own lives. As a result of their father's death, the rest of the family come together. The siblings who don't like each other have to come together to prevent the approaching apocalypse.
The Umbrella Academy is a very exciting series with its theme and script. But I can tell you that the script is not very loyal to the comic book. It has a more original scenario than the original story. There are so many aspects of the series that leave the comic book. This is both positive and negative. In addition to all of this, the series has very strange references. In the series, the black comedy is combined with the drama and added fantastic powers onto it. I can say that a good job has emerged with the processing of the subject, family relations and post production.
Compared to Marvel productions or superhero teams like X-Men, The Umbrella Academy has less action but is good enough. Acting, music, visual effects were fine. The most successful actors in the series are undoubtedly Robert Sheehan, who plays Klaus, and Aidan Gallagher, who plays Number Five. The series focuses on a family that has been severed from each other, hidden secrets and the past. So if you are expecting the heroes wearing costumes and advanced weapons and vehicles, you will not find you want in The Umbrella Academy. If you determine your expectations accordingly, The Umbrella Academy will be your liked a production.
