After watching the trailer, i had my doubts about whether or not i would like the show. It felt too much like a bunch of thirty to fourty-somethings saw a bunch of high-school type shows and thought "What if we did that... but EDGY." I had thought it would be out of touch, badly written and kinda cringy.
BOY. WAS. I. WRONG.
It's stylish, and gritty and dark. It feels like a comic book, just as vivid and action packed. It's beautifully shot, styled and cast. It's funny and grimy and serious all at the same time.
If you liked Umbrella Academy, or wished Harry Potter was less pg, give it a try :).
