Satisfying

We wrapped up first season last night and I have to say The Umbrella Academy is one of the freshest, most entertaining things I’ve seen on television lately. From the minds of Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá, The Umbrella Academy is the story of a super-dysfunctional family of superheroes who have eight days to get it together and save the world. The story, the sets, the special effects…all are spot-on. And it’s fun!. Check it out.

This is Unfortunate

Counterpart has been cancelled.

While disappointing, this does not come as a complete surprise. While I loved Season One, I found this past season terribly difficult to follow. I rarely knew which universe (Alpha or Prime) things were actually occurring in. Because of tech or architecture, it was easy to tell the two universes apart, but the lines blurred this season. It didn’t help matters that the story itself had become so convoluted it would be difficult to follow in a single universe.

But all is not lost. Apparently Season 3 is being shopped to various streaming services.

On another note, I find myself being drawn into yet another Netflix series, The Umbrealla Academy. It’s the story of an estranged and very dysfunctional family of superheroes being forced to come together in the wake of their father’s death in order to prevent the end of the world.
