Interesting, entertaining, excellent character development.....keep your mind open and go for the ride. Be patient for the first 4 episodes, as they layout the characters & story line. It is what makes the rest of the three seasons really shine. Excellent series to binge watch if you can do that, or at least watch one episode every other day or something. All 3 seasons are awesome, & offer creative variety which makes the show all the better for it. I think if they don't have a season 4, it would be a shame and a waste of some excellent material. Anyway, just my opinion, but I wish Netflix and other companies would push thru the boundaries of the same stuff we are beaten over the head w and have been for years. I know it would be impossible to ask for more series to be as incredible as Umbrella Academy, but I know there are some excellent writers, artists, actors, producers, that could pull off so much better than what we are receiving from most of the choices we have been given to chose from, by the investors or whomever has the final say in what is safe to put out. We, the audience, don't have to be spoon fed info to understand the little hints towards character development or the analytical style of story building. Fantasy worlds, are very popular w the younger generation as well. I wonder if anyone else agrees. Look how long GOT went on and people kept HBO to watch the show once a week for how many years? My point is, there is a place for mindless shows, a place for every type, but can we not have some who will step over the boundaries and take a risk? Seriously, we need more creativity allowed to be pushed beyond our safe borders of what the viewing audience is expected to want. I hope as these shows such as Outlander, Stranger Things, UMBRELLA ACADEMY, and I don't have any others coming to mind, but hopefully someone out there, who can express this much better, will get the point....I hope there is a season 4 and the series is such a success that it will make the companies rethink what type of shows they should begin looking toward creating for so many of us switching to Podcasts and Audiobooks, as we unsubscribe to many of our options for viewing the too few shows we have to chose from....just a thought....Hope you all enjoy the Series!

Completely and totally, happily surprised. Cannot wait for Season 2, and usually don't watch anything that doesn't already have all of the Seasons out already, but this one looked awesome and did not fail to deliver. Only wish I could find more that were this enjoyable, interesting and thought provoking while entertaining.
