The Umbrella Academy Run Boy Run (2019– ) Online

Number 5 is bad-ass. Don't much info about him but he seems he has the key of apocalypse and he has an unusual clue. 2 gun loaded black suits whose names are Hazel and Cha Cha go forward to number 5. Things get hot at the Gimbel Brothers. The Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now" song is perfect fit the scenario. Also 2 another songs are in match. Woodkids' " Run Boy Run" for number 5s jumping through time sessions and Paloma Faiths' "Never Tear Us Apart" for the final session. Allison finds detail about their fathers death while she was dip into their video-typed memories. Or Pogo wants her to find?

There are few things that are keeping me from truly enjoying this show. No it isn't the talking ape, he is pretty cool. And the drugged out member of the group is truly one of the highlights.

One is Luthor. His physique is obviously fake. I see him and I say "Padding" so every scene he is in takes me out of the moment.

Another is Number Five. What did he expect? Returning looking like the kid he left as after 17 years trying to explain, if even to one or two, that the world is going to end in 7-8 days, of course no one was just going to believe it. His condescension is annoying.

Diego's attitude is right out of every single comicfantasy adaption. There is always one member of a team that is an arrogant jerk. I easily predict he will warm up as the show goes on. Yawn.

Then there is dear Ellen Page. This is at least the third project I have seen her in where she is dressed asexually. She seems to, in this role, have removed any evidence she is female. Only because her face is familiar and she has not become Elliot Page do I know it is a her. Good for her, actually! She has expressed major displeasure over being a woman in show business. Maybe coming out as gay did not 100% fulfill her "self" so she picks roles now that do not require dresses, tank tops, shorts, or anything that might give away that she is actually a girl. By comparison, Kristin Stewart acknowledges she is a woman and even has done a couple nude scenes since coming out. Hey, whatever works so long as you can remain working.

Finally the story is trite. End of the world coming. Have only days to stop it. Evil time travelers who for some reason want our world to end chasing the one who knows it will. Blah Bah.

No improvement in the story-telling department. This may have been very popular as a Dark Horse comic, but it is crap as a television show.

Run, before your time is forever lost.

Next episode will tell if I keep watching this crap fext
