The Umbrella Academy started as a comic book before it was adapted for the screen by Netflix. That isn't all that special in itself, but creating a hit from mining comics is becoming a rare feat nowadays. That's why this fascinating and mind-bending series entering its fourth and final series is a big deal.
This show tells the story of a dysfunctional family in a very original way. The characters are born with powers and were adopted by a wealthy philanthropist at birth to be raised as a superhero team. What ensues is hilarious, moving, exciting and very often downright weird, with the series predominantly carried on back-and-forths between the siblings and their many enemies.
