It is purest hokum: a superhero show with some potentially interesting stuff lurking underneath about family dysfunction (mostly carried by Ellen Page as the black sheep) that promises never to be developed.

IGN

When The Umbrella Academy hits its stride, it's one of the most confident comic book shows in years, with a swagger that most freshman shows can only dream of.

Variety

It feels perpetually as if it's aggressively working to shock the audience with just how weird it all is.

Vox

The show is every bit as good, as delightfully odd, and as touching as the comic.

The Umbrella Academy is quick, quirky, and light, although there are real stakes and consequences that play out over the course of the season.

Season 2 manages to not only keep the best parts of its inaugural run, but fixes all of its missteps along the way.
