Netflix'sThe Umbrella Academy, the superhero story of a dysfunctional family we never knew we needed is finally out. And if you grew up watching and loving X-Men or The Watchmen, you're in for a treat.
The story revolves around a dysfunctional family of superheroes who reunite following their adoptive father's death to stop the end of the world.
Here's what Twitter has to say about the 10-episode-long series.
This was hella good!!! one of the best series I've seen in Netflix!!!

I just binged the shit out of The Umbrella Academy (@UmbrellaAcad) in under 24 hours. Holy Shit. Completely enraptured by these characters and this story. It’s been a while since something has so completely gotten under my skin. Nice work. 👍 pic.twitter.com/hzGsFKFraA

An uplifting feel good to be yourself show that mixes every emotion together with a little scope of 80’s music 🎶 Move over DC Comics & Marvels because The Umbrella Academy is moving in! Oh please let there be another season!!!!

my night/day: binge watched @UmbrellaAcad until 7 a.m., woke up at 10 a.m., got a coffee so i could research the show the comics and all fan theories, made a pot of coffee, and am now binging again... this is productivity at its finest

What an amazing series, great acting and really enjoyed the entire season. The music was phenomenal congratulations on well put together series.

the series was very good but had some pacing issues, i still very much enjoyed it even if it dragged sometimes the production design more than made up for it (plus one of the best "kid" actor i've seen in a while)

#UmbrellaAcademy mini-review. Fun & quirky take on the Superhero genre with time traveling & unique characters. Amazing music. The dysfunctional team dynamics are a blast to watch but the story pace is frustratingly slow at times and the plot needlessly stretched. 7.8/10 pic.twitter.com/kxROqEuS0f

I keep seeing meh reviews for Umbrella Academy and I'm baffled because so far I love it. Child assassins! Robot moms! Siblings who kinda want to bang! Ellen Page at her Ellen Pagest! DELORES! Also MARY J. BLIGE is in this as a super low-key bad guy and it's amazing.

This is so good + 2 of my fabourite modern actors....Tom Hopper and Ellen Page. Great cast, amazing sound track and genius scripts and plot lines. Mr Hopper you have fallen on your feet again.🙂

Okay, but like, could the music in @UmbrellaAcad be any more perfect? 5 episodes in and I can safely say I am completely obsessed.

I really enjoyed it. I'm not a big "comic book" fan, though I enjoy the #MCU films and a few of the #DCEU films. This was different and fun, though with a little bit of depth.

It’s the best series adapted from a comic book @netflix has ever put out.

I have watched this in under 6 days, and I’m sitting down wondering when is season 2 coming out! 😍😭 Today is another day where I will be rewatching the show again.

What a phenomenal show! Whoever did your soundtrack also does some major kudos. Can’t wait for season two!

It seems Netflix doesn't need Marvel to create a successful superhero series!
