Aussie boy's thoughts
This quirky season of The Umbrella Academy unfortunately isn’t too gripping or exciting, but it’s a fairly watchable series. There’s also no doubt that sci-fi fans will adore the quirky characters and awesome music-packed action. This Netflix series deserves a thumbs up, although it could be faster.
