The Umbrella Academy - Spoilers Allowed *title edited by MNHQ at OP's request*

Watched the first four of this so far. Very quirky and Wes Andersonish but the music is brilliantly done, and it's very original even within the superhero genre

I saw the advert for this, it looks promising

Binged the whole series today, loved it!

I absolutely love the orchestral version of Phantom in the first episode

Agreed! The whole soundtrack is brilliant. Apparently it's because the author of the comics was closely involved in the production.

I just started tonight and am two episodes in. It was the music that drew me in, they played Hazy Shade of Winter in the trailer. I'm enjoying it so far. That kid is excellent, I'm normally a bit so-so about child actors but he's pretty good at being a middle-aged man in a child's body.

Watched the first four episodes, loving it so far. Love Gerard Way as a musician as well as a comic book writer so was expecting the sound track to be good. His version of Hazy Shade of Winter is great! Enjoying all the characters, looking forward to watching more tomorrow

Binged the whole thing. Really enjoyed it

Sorry you started a thread before me but got no replies, I hate it when that happens to me I'll go and add on yours

Thanks @BartonHollow that was really sweet of you

I have binged this now

Found THE THING THAT HAPPENS WITH ANTLERS very upsetting

Roll on Series 2

That bit annoyed me barton only because it looked like a crucifixion analogy and although the person was giving others time to escape so in that sense sacrificing themselves, Jesus they sure weren't....I was rooting for the lady in question rampaging [bless]

smart posted on your thread too

Loved this show so much am happy to waffle on on two threads simultaneously.

bless? blush, even

@bartonhollow we seem to have similar taste in tv shows having just binged Dirty John im now in this and loving it so far!

Just started watching this after bingeing Russian Doll and desperate for something to plug the gap. Loving it so far!

@ratherberiding ooh that’s next on my list! Looks good (I’m feeling a bit poorly at the moment and suffering with anxiety hence all the tv binging time!)

Hello again Aberforth!

I still can't get the Phantom of The Opera sequence out of my head

I was going to buy the comics but I'm not sure now as apparently the changes made are significant

Yes I'm in a similar boat

(Single, going through anxiety and family/work stress, watching A LOT of TV in my downtime)

Russian Doll was fantastic

Loved this. Binge watched over the weekend. Soundtrack was amazing - the dancing to Tiffany was 😁. Can't wait for season 2.

@bartonhollow a friend has advised not to buy the comics because apparently there is a plot line that wasn’t used that is expected to come up with if there’s a series 2 so might spoil ourselves!

Sorry to hear you are having a tough time too - mine manifests as health anxiety so any distraction like these kind of tv shows is great.

Need to line something up for after Russian Doll!

"After Russian Doll"

POWER

It's nearly criminally underknown

Happy to take your recommendation :) thank you!

Kind of want to watch misfits again now, UA has reminded me of my love for Robert Sheehan

I’ve just finished it. All I can say is that there had better be a second series, soon.

Does anyone else think Diego is in love with the Robot Mum?

I absolutely hated this. I feel like I’m the only one

They definitely had the strongest relationship - the rest of the siblings didn’t seem to have bonded with her as much as him.
I couldn’t work out if it was just the fact that she was the only loving influence in their life or whether there was something more
