Umbrella Academy Season 2: Oh How History Repeats

Umbrella Academy is a riveting replay that hits at the right place at the right time period. It’s hard to think of the ending of the world as a harrowing futuristic storyline when it’s happening all around us but Umbrella Academy still makes a captivating tale of it all.  It’s like the writers knew we would need an apocalyptic program that hits on Black Lives Matter while satisfying our nerd entertainment tendencies. Number Five musta jumped ahead to 2020 and was like its a sh#t show! And then the creators got to work. Here’s why season 2 was out of time (with moderate spoilage)   1960 It’s still the end of the world, we’re still trying to figure out how it actually happens and it’s Number Five’s personal mission to stop the apocalypse. What show can reboot the same exact premise and still be that good? (Besides The Good Place…)     Our lovable and obnoxious characters are strewn across time within 3 years of each other, all in the same location – Dallas, Texas. Klaus, with Ben in tow, falls out on Feb 11, 1960, Allison in 1961. Luther winds up in 1962, Diego superhero lands in Sept 1, 1963. Vanya plummets on October 12, 1963 while Five hits ground November 25, 1963. Yet when Five lands the world looks very different. An alternate timeline where the nuclear war has popped off…. Again.          Image Courtesy of Tyla Writing about time travel is a feat in itself to get the equation right *wink*, …
