This is a completely predictable show so far (e4) with a bunch of absolute dumbass characters (who are all written as fragments of the same person), but unlike say Marvel shows it doesn't forget to be consistently entertaining or to move the plot along.

Hemingway To Go! posted:agree to disagree. I was fine with it because I felt like it was expressed that the characters don't share info because they do not trust each other/can't stand each other/blame each other for the poo poo they went through under Reginald. Maybe others see that as a contrivance. Yeah it exists in a weird setting where nothing developed after about 1969 except the Umbrella Academy.

I always felt like the characters in the show weren't really distinct as they were each the same character written in a slightly different way. Everyone has to overcome their neurosis caused by their broken upbringing to become a butterfly. When together, they just act like dumb assholes, which is the only real reason the show takes more time than a two-hour movie to resolve its plot. Along with that plot being absolutely predictable, it made watching the show a chore, as it's just endless sufferin' supers. The setting also makes no loving sense from a technological perspective but one of the show's subplots involves time fuckery, so optimistically I suspect that will come into play.

The first season of this wasn't very good and it's not like we're starved of superhero/comic book adaptations to watch. I would rate it above Marvel TV just because it's more tightly written but there's not too much there there.

Xealot posted:And I'm thrilled, I didn't find the Commission that interesting either season. The repercussions of there NOT being a Commission sound way more interesting, now that history can be changed in wacky ways without repercussion...which is, I guess, the whole point of the ending with the Sparrow Academy. DC's Legends of Tomorrow handles this by just having tyrannosaurs invade
