    Off topic but I really enjoyed much of this show (Umbrella Academy), particularly I was so impressed with how the child actor actually pulled off carrying the entire show, he was not only the leading & most interesting character but also IMO had one of the best performances on it. Come to think of it, I should look into what else he’s done.

    Anyway, what episode is this from, do you know? (I know it’s just a meme format now, worth a shot tho)

    Excellent post btw, I gave all the upvote I could

      The umbrella academy was hard carried by five. The actor really pulled off the adult stuck in a kid’s body thing. The actor that played the guy with addiction issues was great too.

        If you like Klaus you should watch a show the same actor did years ago called Misfits! He kind of carried that show too, it was never quite as good after he left lol

        • I actually watched the whole first season with a buddy of mine but couldn’t get myself to like it. Only good thing was all that bri’ish swearing

          Yeah I stopped watching when he did. It was teen drama before, which I’m normally not a fan of, but he made it worth it. Without him it was just another “teens get crazy powers, hijinks ensue” show.

            It was one of the first “teens misuse crazy powers” I saw.

            Lactokinesis was an excellent superpower.

            However, After the time travel was resolved there wasn’t much left to keep long term interest.

            I kept watching for a few more seasons. There was enough of the original cast left that it wasn’t bad per se, but it wasn’t the same. I finally had to give up during that season where the guy was screaming about his missing cock the whole time lol

      I’m introducing my partner to the show now. We’re just about to finish S1. Gotta be ready when the final season drops.
