Summary: In 1989, 43 women around the world gave birth at the exact same time despite not being pregnant before that moment. Each child appears to have some special ability, and billionaire Sir Reginald Hargreeves (Colm Feore) adopted seven of them to turn them into superheroes.
This alone would be an interesting enough concept to follow. But "The Umbrella Academy" also jumps years into the future to when the remaining heroes are now adults, no longer part of a superhero team and all dealing with mountains of trauma.
When their adopted father mysteriously dies and their brother No. 5 (Aidan Gallagher) returns from his travels in the future, they have to learn to rebuild their family in order to stop the apocalypse.
Why you'll like it: Similar to Loki's mission in season two, 5 is on a mission to stop a major catastrophic event. If you like a high-stakes drama mixed with mysteries to solve, "The Umbrella Academy" is for you.
"The Umbrella Academy" is streaming on Netflix.
