New on Netflix: ‘The Umbrella Academy’: caught on the wrong timeline

After their harrowing journey in the 1960s, the next apocalypse awaits the Hargreaves siblings in the present. Saving the world created a time paradox. Vania, who is now Victor (Elliott Page), Luther (Tom Hooper), Diego (David Castaneda), Allison (Amy Raver-Lampman), Klaus (Robert Sheehan) and Five (Aidan Gallagher) weren’t on this timeline. The house is now home to her deceased father, Reginald (Colum Feuer) and her deceased brother, Ben (Justin H. Maine). They formed “Sparrow Academy” with five other children on October 1, 1989, that is, people with superpowers. The most efficient and insidious alternative to parachutes.
But before the siblings agree on what to do, it turns out the apocalypse is clinging to them like chewing gum. Because how does the constellation of time and space interact with people who should not exist? It’s crumbling.

If “The Umbrella Academy” finds its voice in season two, it moves on for season three. The fair’s new setting, the Oblivion Hotel, between the Overlook, the Grand Budapest Hotel and Shandor, is an abundance of absurdity for the siblings. The gender change announced on the page creates a sensitive narrative thread about identity. Everyone must unite and reconcile with the sparrows and overcome personal losses. Because the clock is ticking. on Netflix.
