The Umbrella Academy (2019)

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

I am one episode why of ending the first season.

So far, decent. Interesting universe (family group) with unique problems, as superhero shows go. A couple moments surprised the shit out of me.

Worth watching.

Season 2 has the same underlying theme that the Watchmen series had:

"Wow, white people sure are racist."

Art reflects the times, I suppose.

It's funny how little Hollywood knows and/or understands about world history and humanity.

Also, "Wow, white men sure are misogynistic and homophobic."

But all in all, really good show and I'm looking forward to the next season.

S3 trailer.



Looks like more Umbrella Academy.

They replaced a female actress with a white dude. Expect outrage.
