Rain on Me with ‘The Umbrella Academy’ Season 2 Review

Spoilers coming like that vanilla almond milk I just saw in my fridge We are back folks. The rain clouds rolled in, and there was a downpour. Check out our previous thoughts on season 1 here and here. Now, get your umbrellas ready for my recap of the second season of The Umbrella Academy on Netflix. So right off top, we see our sibling heroes individually being dropped through Five’s time portal in between the years of 1960-1963 in Dallas, Texas. I immediately felt a rush go over me when I realized this meant that Allison, a Black woman who currently couldn’t talk, was now in the South and the early 60s (and yes, it was exactly what you think, but more on that later.) However, what kicks everything off is where Five finds himself. When Five pops out of his portal, it is during a war. He sees his siblings all fighting; Vanya’s stopping missiles, Klaus is summoning the dead to fight for him, while Ben uses his power from beyond the grave as well. Luther is being a human shield, Allison is blowing mines with her rumors, and Diego is curving bullets at soldiers. Hazel appears and gives Five a warning that the apocalypse they tried to escape in 2019 has followed them. Hazel gives him a briefcase and a tape before three white hair Legolas looking dudes kill Hazel. The last thing Five sees before he time jumps again is a nuclear bomb exploding and killing his family.
