There are parts of Umbrella Academy, based on the comic series by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá and overseen by Steve Blackman, that I find borderline breathtaking... The performances in Umbrella Academy are a mixed bag.
While the changes in tone takes the second season closer to traditional works of the genre, it surpass the first in almost everything while still maintaining the irreverent, rebellious spirit that enamored audiences [Full review in Spanish]
Having fixed almost everything wrong with season one, I heard a rumor that this is already one of my most anticipated series of 2021. [Full review in Spanish]
What makes the second season of "The Umbrella Academy" such pleasant viewing is all the ways it lives up to the promise of the flawed-but-very-watchable first year.
This show found a way to improve in all of the right ways and made itself into a must-watch this weekend. This show is better than ever and you will not want to miss a second of it.
The Umbrella Academy Season 2 would be watchable even if it only fixed the glaring surface-level issues of its earlier iteration, but it also goes one step further by actually trying to mean something.
It combines charm with danger, unity with objective - the recipe works and if it's the same again for the third season then we are in for a rewatchable trilogy.
Those disappointed or intrigued by the ending of season one will find themselves satisfied with the follow-up, maybe slightly confused, but satisfied nonetheless.
The Umbrella Academy is what you get when you mix Wes Anderson with Matthew Vaughn, stuff them full of Red Bull and Adderall, and give them a Spotify Premium subscription. Yes, that's a compliment.
