The Umbrella Academy
- What it's about: Netflix adapted The Umbrella Academy from the graphic novels created by My Chemical Romance's Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá, introducing us to a wicked and wild new world. In it, on the same day in October 1989, 43 women around the globe wake up and miraculously (and inexplicably) deliver babies, despite having shown no symptoms of pregnancy prior to that. Seven of those children are adopted by eccentric billionaire Sir Reginald Hargreeves, who intends to use their superhuman abilities to save the world by forming the Umbrella Academy. Though the family/team fractures in their teenage years, they end up drawn back together again amid tragedy decades later.
