The Umbrella Academy

— I ended up loving Season 1 and looked forward to Season 2 of this dark, time-travelling, apocalyptic, comedy featuring a truly dysfunctional family with a fun assortment of superpowers. Providing much of the storyline would ruin the experience. It all sounds preposterous anyway, and it is, but if you let yourself accept the variables, it’s great fun. A little of the fun comes from some offbeat music and quick editing, but its quirky nature is what makes the difference. If your sense of humor is slightly off-center and you don't expect your superheros to be gods, give it a try. [Netflix streaming.]
