Umbrella academy

[smartcarnotsosmartdriver]

I have never posted in tellyaddicts before but I have binged all of umbrella academy on Netflix and it was outstanding!
Soundtrack is great, sorry is great. I bought some of the comics when they came out years ago but haven't read them in ages so can't confirm how true they are to that but as a stand alone! Brilliant! I hope there's a second series.

Hellloo

The music in this is brilliant

I also like how many of the Misfits a small but well regarded series seem to have made it big

Antonia Thomas - The Good Doctor
Robert Sheehan - this
Iwan Rheon - Game Of Thrones

Love it!

I'm on Episode 5 and loving it

Oo thanks for the thread and lack of spoilers. I hadn't heard of this till earlier when Netflix auto played the trailer. It looked aces.

I'll add it to the ever increasing list.

Just finished it, I love it. They better make a season two.
I love Robert sheehan, I could watch him all day.

Robert Sheehan in guyliner That is all
Oh and the 15 year old actor playing Five deserves an emmy/golden globe nomination.

I've just started watching this and it's great. I agree about the young actor, he's brilliant. Also love Luther, he's a Brit, never seen him before.

I've seen him in something (Luther) but can't think were

I've been resisting looking it up hoping it'll come to me

Ooh I've just rewatched something recently that the actor that plays luther was in. I knew I recognised him.

The Five actor is amazing. Imagine being able to do that at that age

@Oswin

Go on solve it for me!

I hope that Aidan who plays 5 isn't overlooked for awards due to both his age and the genre

I am on third episode and considering abandoning it. Does it suddenly get really good or is it just not for me?

What is it about it that is making you consider abandoning it and I'll tell you

The Luther actor was in Merlin a few years ago, and I think he was in Black Sails

Doctor who, he was in matt smiths first episode. Amy's neighbour with the laptop. Which really doesn't help you if you don't watch doctor who

Finished it today, had the urge go back and watch misfits so it's on now xD (all4 catch up). Iwan Rheon is my main man xD but sheenan is adorable too.

I do watch Doctor Who and not so much since my main crush Matt Smith and proper writing for grown ups Moff left.

The last series was terrible and it wasn't Jodie she was great it was EVERYTHING ELSE

So I googled and he's Sam's brother in Game Of Thrones and I feel like going and handing in my GOT #1 fan badge

Finished it last night and loved it!

I have 2 episodes left to watch... but I dont want it to end!

Only character/actress I don't like is Vanya. I just find her irritating. It might be in part how the character is written though.

I hope that Aidan who plays 5 isn't overlooked for awards due to both his age and the genre

I was really impressed by him...but have just seen an interview where he seems exactly the same as he is in the show. I didn't know him from his comedy show and assumed he was putting on an accent rather it being his own (not fair I know but it reminds me of when I saw Lauren Socha in Misfits, for which she got a Bafta, then heard her in real life and realized she was Derby born and bred).
Loved both performances in both shows but, I don't know, it feels less of an accomplishment when it's how they speak normally. I am aware IABU! (and that delivery is more important than dialect but hey, IABU)
Very short interview here:

I loved it, totally loved it. What a brilliant show.

I watched it because Robert Sheehan was in it and he did not disappoint. Loved his relationship with Ben.
Luther was heartbreakingly lovely. The actor was Dickon in GoT, blasted to death by the dragon.
I also enjoyed Hazel, though the actor played the very scary serial killer in Mindhunter.
The 15 year old playing Five was amazing, what a talent.
Can’t wait for the next series.
The playlist was also fantastic.

Loved this... the characters, the music... how long till series 2?!
