Had a good ole binge..enjoyed it. Some parts did feel a bit slow but that aside. Enjoyable. Nice to see more family togetherness as well. Again amazing soundtrack...loved the Swedish cover of Adele..
Ready for season 3..which will be a long wait..

I enjoyed it too. Binge watched the whole season in one day. Less quirky, but also less filler than season 1. I'm having to hand wave the hippie guru thing and Diego's hair length--neither would have worked in 1963. Mid sixties, yes, but not 1963 in a conservative place like Dallas. I was glad that the group (usually) was able to work together for once.

Binge watched it too! Really enjoyed it. Thought the soundtrack was fantastic! Hope there’s more (and not another year away).

I missed Hazel. I loved him in the first series. Also love klaus.

What a great show, I watched both series in a week, I actually preferred S2 as you knew the characters a bit more. Can't wait for S3. Klaus is fab, Robert Sheehan is a great character actor.

I have managed to pace myself this time round because the wait for this one has been excruciating and the wait for the next one will be so much longer - loads of shows will be.
No 5 is still my favourite by far but Luther and Diego were both hilarious in their dumbness.
I'm still 2 episodes from the end and have seen about a million spoilers but the show I feel is so intensely out there, I need reality in between.

I’ve just finished it, loved it. There seemed to be a lot more going on than in S1 and I loved the 60s setting.

I liked Diego a lot more this season, I feel like he never left much of an impression in S1. Five is awesome, of course, he’s such a talented young actor. The casting for older Five was spot on too, he had the same eyes and nose and he had the mannerisms down to a T.

Klaus was hilarious, and I liked that there was a lot more of Ben. The scene where he passed over to the other side was very moving. I’m looking forward to seeing what they do with alternate Ben in S3. I felt a lot more compassion for Vanya this season too.

Love Umbrella academy, I found this season answered questions about the previous.
It had a lot of passion and digged deep with the way black people and gays were treated (with not much change now unfortunately).
Loved Ben and we really saw his character and also what it was like being Reginalds children and what was expected of them and how it made them dysfunctional but come together.

Loved it, yes a small niggle about the hippie thing being a bit too early, but otherwise fab!

TheLovleyChebbyMcGee · 14/08/2020 09:15

I loved it! I didn't mind the first series, it was pretty good, but I enjoyed this more, we finished it in 4 days flat, which is such a stupid thing as now there's so much longer to wait till the next series!

I've just finished it. Didn't disappoint.

I was ok with the hippy things - though this was supposed to be 'the start' of it.

I'm alone with disliking Klaus!
