The Umbrella Academy The White Violin (2019– ) watch online HD

Stylistically, narratively-I was truly thrilled by it. I think the performances were so strong, it's so beautifully produced, and refreshingly original. I think I might just read the comics during the hiatus-because if there's any logic in the world, we'll see a second season, and more thereafter.

I binged watched all 10 episodes and have to say it was very good. I enjoyed the nice story arc for all of the main characters including the non-main cast.

I don't know enough about the comics to not-pick anything from the canon, just wanted to say the show did a great job of story telling and left a nice cliffhanger into what I hope is a second season.

I love time travel and super heroes and my wife tolerates watching both with me. This combines those both and adds in a very dysfunctional family with a robot mom and a talking monkey.

We both really liked this series and watched it in two nights.

My question is....

Will there be another season?

The season finale takes us from the last day to the end of the world and it doesn't let down one bit. Incredible drama tied up nicely with great editing and visual effects, really doing a great job at capturing their powers visually. The actors that plays the siblings all has such great chemistry, making us not doubting one second the story of all 7 siblings.

The ensemble cast is just so well picked, everyone doing a great job and making them realistic as possible, it's still a superhero show. At first I didn't know if I would enjoy it as it's very weird but funny but it keeps things fresh and original from other superhero shows. The writing are actually great, giving us a character driven story with one thing we knew, Number five's goal to stop the apocalypse and it's one hell of a ride. The soundtrack is just amazing, so many good songs that flows so well with the action sequences and just random hilarious scenes that we got.

Flew through all 10 episodes over the weekend. 100% set up for Series 2 and I cant wait. Great performances all round but special mention to a really special break out performance from Aidan Gallagher who I expect we will all be seeing much more of.

Very highly recommended and hoping for a very quick turnaround on Series 2.

As it goes , this series has been great to watch. I binged it with my daughter across the weekend. Its refreshing in a series adaptation like this , you can get a good insight into the characters. They all have differnt personalities and work together well but sometimes gets a bit cheesy. The time travel didnt get to confusing and I struggle with that. The first 5 episodes had me hooked but towards the end it got predictable. I called the ending at the end of episode 5 . Luther or #1 became a bore and his feelings for Allison his sibling , was a bit far fetched and unecessary at times. It bought it down a bit. For me Klaus is the most entertaining and funny with his superpower of being able to communicate with the dead. Cha Cha and Hazel are so sadistic , but they make it comical . Mary J Blige plays Cha Cha brilliantly! It'll be interesting to see where they go with the next series.

I wasn't impressed with the first half of the series, so so impressed with 6-9, and the last episode really pulled it together for me. I have to admit I was a little pissed at the amount of tolerance shown, considering the circumstances (cant say much more on that subject without spoilers) but maybe thats what the writers wanted, if so, they did their jobs. The special effects and writing in the 10th episode saves the entire series. I really don't care for a season 2, its basically The Watchmen Movie only differences being they are extremely screwed up young adults instead of middle aged.

It was a great series. If u would imagine a family of peolpe with powers, this is how it would look like. The single con I got for this series is that they didn't kept the comics end. The comics' end is five shoot the white viollin in the head... not like the series' kid end. The actors was great and that kid... come on, he really seems to have 58 years... he plays too good

I'm going to review this as "Season one" even though as I write this a second season has yet to be confirmed by Netflix, though based on buzz and reviews I think it's probably likely.

Adapted from a series of comics by My Chemical Romance's Gerard Way, "The Umbrella Academy" is about a group of children with special powers who are collected to live as a family under the guidance of distant patriarch Sir Reginald Hargreeves (Colm Feore). Twenty years on from their time as a superhero team, the remaining members of the family are reunited by the death of Sir Reginald and the return of long missing family member No 5 (Aiden Gallagher) who has returned from the future with a plan to divert the apocalypse.

Though it's not without its flaws I generally enjoyed this season. It reminded me of times of the recent "Lemony Snicket" series, with a deliberate stylised unrealness to the world that the characters inhabit. Fashions and technology are designed to appear timeless and also to reflect the number of characters that can travel through time. It's often funny, laugh out loud funny at times and the action scenes that occur regularly are usually well done. The music choices are really good too, drawing from a range of sources (and again from different decades to establish that "out of time" feeling).

The visual effects I thought I'd keep separate from both the negatives and the positives as some of them, such as the motion capture performance of Mr Pogo are staggeringly good for television. In fact most of the CGI work is excellent. The practical effects though, particularly the head stuck on a gorilla-ish body for Luther aren't as impressive. I don't know if they lost confidence in a different effect but this one doesn't really work at all.

The pacing though, I felt was the shows real problem. A lot of the character beats were hit a few times more than they need to be, in order to establish the characters and a couple of subplots could perhaps have been lost altogether without losing much impact. Shorn of a couple of episodes I think that it could have been tighter run. Tonally it's a bit strange too, I haven't read the comic books but I have been reading about them since watching the series. I does feel like the production backed away from some of the more outlandish aspects that they could have done.

Fortunately though, the series keeps its better episodes for the end and they are enough to maintain my interest for a second series, should one be incoming.

They could stop the Apocalypse with some depressants which Vanya took all her life to suppress her power.

And I'm getting tired of forced dramas where peolpe try to do something, goes bad and keep trying it. Well, that sums up the last three episodes. I've alredy seen this. Kind of sad since it had a great premisea

Edit: I read the p'remise of the comics and actually this is an improvement, at least on what triggers the situations, but still. Predictable and ninesensical at certain points. Raised to three stars

Very poor screenplay, One can easily guess what would happen in the next episode. Vanya's powers are highly exaggerated just in few days she was able to become from a normal human being to a death star.

This is a family drama, not fun. Everything is stressful and boring. I watch and sleep 2 laps. And uncomfortable. This is a family drama Not a sci-fi super hero
