    The Umbrella Academy (NetFlix Series)

    Anyone watching this? It's seriously fucking with my head and emotions. Is to Super Hero series what Logan was to Superhero Movies.

    HIGHLY Recommended. Will gladly chat more if anyone else also got hooked. About to watch ep. 8 tonight.

    Yep; good shit. I'm on ep. 5; hooked so far. And I don't like superhero crap most of the time.

    Judging by the few posts in the Netflix thread about it, you guys seem to be aligned with most posters' wives (NTTIAWWT)

    I watched ep 1 and thought it seemed decent but fell asleep at ep 2. Will revisit later.

    Enjoying it, but my wife binge watches stuff. I am more old school, and try to pace it like the old days.
    So I am only on ep 3.

    I thought the main plot was fairly predictable. But I loved the characters! I really enjoyed Hazel's arc. Klaus has quite a ride also. Finished the series today with my 22 year old daughter. She loved it too...

    17 year old daughter apparently loved it. Guess I have to give it a shot too.

    Just finished episode 7; it's starting to grow on me. Any body got some Lamasil?

    Indeed! Finished it this am after binging late last night. The camerawork is off the scale in the framing of shots all the time. I was fascinated at how good it was. And number five and Vanya really kick ass.

    I tend to watch it at least somewhat high and almost every song that comes on is just fucking perfect.

    haven't watched season 2, but enjoyed season 1 (thought it was good not great). And yes, Klaus and Five are definitely the most interesting characters.

    Fell asleep to the first episode three nights in a row. Started it early tonight and just made it past the dance montage (is that an every episode thing? I’m not sure how to feel about that). Otherwise seems like an interesting premise.

    Not in every episode, but more than enough to be irritating.

    Yeah....I’m trudging through it....on episode 7....the Hazel and Cha-Cha characters/storyline is really annoying.....

    *the Vanya storyline just got a whole lot better......

    Season 2 went a bit bonkers at times but I liked it a lot. Klaus just keeps improving.

    I just saw the LSD episode. It allowed them to venture into more of a fantasy mode in the storyline.

    I was expecting a bit more from one of the most powerful beings on the planet unknowingly tripping for the first time...
