The Umbrella Academy succeeds in more ways than it fails. While struggling from often C-level acting and dead end characters, the show has more than enough story and energy to be entertaining. I love that nobody is entirely good or perfect. I love that season one gives us glimpses that we don’t even get to cover in season 2. I’m going through it again and I’m learning more about it and about what good storytelling can look like. It is an unlikely education.
