Umbrella Academy

Anyone else watching it? I'm only 2 episodes in but - SPOILERS - I'm really liking it. The dance scene in the first episode was great.

I've only watched the first episode, but that one was good. Will probably watch more tomorrow.

I just finished episode six, but ngl, I keep going back to episode one for that scene. Just... Tiffany is so perfect for that montage. It's amazing.

Also, it's been forever since I read the comics, but I swear I did not come out of them shipping everyone like I am with the show. Wtf.

I desperately need gifs of every character's dancing in that scene

Right? I was trying to find it on YT to show my friend, but how has no one shared that gloriousness??

I didn't expect much, but the first episode surprised me by being pretty goo. I agree with you about the dance scene - best moment of episode one IMO. I also liked the fight scene with Istanbul (Not Constantinople). Really good use of music in this show.

The script doesn't strike me as being all that strong, but fortunately the acting seems to be strong enough to compensate. Ellen Page, Robert Sheehan (the junkie), and Aidan Gallagher (the kid) really elevate whatever they're given, IMO, and the others don't seem weak, either (I just don't feel like I've seen enough of them yet to properly gauge it).

Yeah, the plot is definitely very, like, what I would expect from that kind of indie-comics stuff. But the acting is really good and charming - Ellen Page is an absolute peach.

Robert is killing it. Like, hands down right now, Klaus is my favourite just because of Robert's performance.

As soon as I saw Robert, and realized that his character is basically Nathan from Misfits Version 2.0, I was like, oh this is gonna be good. He's so good at playing a little punk-ass loser asshole who you just want to punch repeatedly - but who you somehow can't hate because you kind of admire his audacious insuppressibility.

Though personally, I think Five is my favorite at the moment. Mainly because I'm really, really impressed by Aidan Gallagher's ability to play an adult in a kid's body. Usually with stuff like that I wince and brace for disappointment, because it's almost never believable that the character is actually an adult. But so far I find Gallagher's performance really convincing.

I'm going to watch tonight. It looks so fun! My Monstrous Bebe is all over it, she loves Gerard Way and has for years.

I’m two episodes away from being finished with it. I read the comics a while ago and mainly read for Vanya because I wasn’t really into the story, but I’m loving the show. Vanya’s great and I love Klaus.

I started reading the comics when it came out, but then I got poor so sadly I don't think I have them all. :/

Does your local library participate in an interlibrary loan program? I got lucky because my library had the first series and I got the second one through the interlibrary loan system. Haven’t checked to see if they’ve got the third one.

I'm not sure, I should check! I always forget that some libraries do comics now too!

Yes. I had low expectations, and it is sort of a mashup of a bunch of things and not very original, but I think it's been doing okay and the performances have been selling me on it. It feels nostalgic for some reason. Like a remix of other things I liked over the years.

The romance plots are all a bit meh though.

I totally get what you mean but I feel like I'm 2 or 3 years away from truly being able to appreciate it as 'retro'

(I still like it though just for the cast)
