The Umbrella Academy is the same comic book we all know, under disguise. 43 women simultaneously give birth to 43 babies, except that the women weren’t even pregnant in the hours that led up to the birth. Sounds confusing, ha? Seven of the children end up being adopted by a billionaire and get trained to save the world.
Why is this a keeper: Even if you’re not a fan of the comic version and even if you are not a lover of superhero shows, The Umbrella Academy is a lot of fun. It has a brilliant and full of humor perspective of life through the story of this superhero family and provided long hours of pure entertainment.
