Sheehan is great in this , was brilliant in Misfits too.

Enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would , I once had a first edition of the first comic somewhere, probably hidden in a lot of other stuff.

I definitely think the end of it leads in to a second series , without giving anything away.

Agreed. He easily had the most interesting and dramatic turn of events as the show went on, and was the most empathetic. The actor in the role did a helluva job.

Seanny One Ball 03-06-2019 11:11 AM

How did you like Hazel and Cha Cha? I thought Hazel's story was awesome. I wasn't expecting about 90% of that show to happen.

Damian Rey 2.0 03-06-2019 01:02 PM

I loved them both. Hazel was so damn likeable. And of course there was his love story with Agnes, which was so damn sweet.

I loved the dynamic between the two. Cha-Cha being devoted to nothing but the job and only that job. Hazel seemingly doing it cuz he was good at it, but wanted more. And his constant bitching about pay and benefits lol. Loved those little things. The end, knowing what happened to him, saddened me.

SPOILER: show
Doesn't Hazel escape with Agnes in the end?

Danny Electric 03-06-2019 03:55 PM

The guy who plays Hazel is awesome in Mindhunter.

I don't think so. Unless they took a briefcase I don't remember seeing

Seanny One Ball 03-06-2019 04:39 PM

SPOILER: show
They did exactly that.


Please spoiler tag that post Damian.

Seanny One Ball 03-06-2019 04:54 PM

SPOILER: show
Hazel and Agnes are standing staring at each other at 44:20 of the final episode. Put the subtitles on and the description says "Briefcase whooshes, zaps" just as the background Armageddon rolls in and then there's a blue flash and they both disappear before the landscape is enveloped.


When you're good you'd better be damned fucking good.

Ahhhhh I missed it!

6 episodes in

Damian Rey 2.0 03-07-2019 12:48 AM

How do you like it so far?

Lock Jaw 03-07-2019 01:00 AM

Really enjoying it

SPOILER: show
Like the twist with Klaus and his time travel experience...

I saw the twist with Vanya having powers coming a mile away, though...

Really like Hazel and Cha Cha as Seanny predicted I would

Frank Drebin 03-07-2019 06:29 AM

Liked it too. Really good stuff here.

I dunno about the actor who played Klaus though. Feel like that's the generic representation of a drug addict they would teach in Acting 101. No real nuance to that character until his turn which took a while.

Hazel and Cha-Cha really shine for me in this acting wise. Same for Luther. Not an Ellen Page fan but I don't think her acting ruins anything. Just never adds much to it.

Story wise there are a a couple of things they gloss over and never explain (monkey butler) or are just plain plot holes but when it was good it was really good.

Seanny One Ball 03-07-2019 10:03 AM

I would watch a show about Hazel and Cha Cha. Like a very killy X Files.

He's devil-may-care to a tee but all the while he's simmering. When his arc changes in an instant you get the entire depth of the character and it's glorious. I love him, he's just a perfect mirror of my own neuroses.

Frank Drebin 03-08-2019 04:26 AM

And his love for dick.

Seanny One Ball 03-08-2019 10:31 AM

Tricky Dicky and the kak in Black

rez 03-08-2019 01:03 PM

Just watched ep 3 last night...trying not to rush through it.

Lock Jaw 03-15-2019 12:35 AM

Just finished this up.... great show, and I can't wait for season 2....

SPOILER: show
Was freaking GUTTED EMOTIONALLY by Pogo's death.... and then later on in the same episode was laughing out loud at Klaus as they are being attacked at the bowling alley and he insinuates they might be there for some kid's birthday party. (Then, of course, the traditional fight scenes set to non-traditional music always makes me smile)

Really enjoyed the whole cast and how they all interacted with each other.

I didn't notice Hazel and Agnes with a briefcase.... Saw that they got sucked into a time portal and assumed The Commission did it for some reason.... where would he have got a briefcase from? Oh, I guess The Handler.....

Seanny One Ball 03-16-2019 07:14 AM

You people need to pay attention

rez 04-03-2019 10:03 PM

Just finished. 10/10

SPOILER: show
Luther is such a fucking moron. He's going to just cause the Apocalypse to happen again with his shitty leadership and actions. gg

I would watch an entire series of Hazel and Agnes watching birds and eating donuts

Seanny One Ball 04-04-2019 01:08 AM

Agreed RE:Luther

Umbrella Academy sounds like a good name for an Anime about cute japanese schoolgirls going on adventures and using their umbrella's to defeat enemies including an epic duel between two popular characters where they fight each other with Umbrellas while making cute japanese anime noises.
I can see it now, "Umbrella Academy - Full Series box, $69.99, amazon.com"

Seanny One Ball 07-09-2020 06:39 AM

It's a freaking dope show

Seanny One Ball 08-01-2020 01:32 PM

Season 2 out now.

I watched episode 1 last night, may watch again tonight just to make sure I got it all.
Wonderful stuff.

teamXtremist 08-01-2020 06:56 PM

Starting season 2 today after season one of doom patrol��

Seanny One Ball 08-02-2020 05:49 PM

Klaus retelling the fable of the scorpion and the frog was always going to be good shit.

Seanny One Ball 08-02-2020 06:31 PM

Show is very guilty of shoe-horning in lots of ugly examples of romance and with characters too annoying to pull it off in a meaningful way.

I think Klaus and Number 5 are the only two who have any endearing relationship's at all and one of them is with a mannequin torso and head.

Seanny One Ball 08-02-2020 06:31 PM

Vanya has become utterly intolerable now.

RP gonna blow a gasket when he sees this shit.

Seanny One Ball 08-02-2020 06:34 PM

Aside from the awful romantic angles it is still top class. The first season had the same problem.

Seanny One Ball 08-02-2020 06:52 PM

Huh, the show just made specific reference to Five's relationship with Dolores as the healthiest out of the lot.

Still, it's not an appealing gimmick when it takes up so much time having each character do their mopey romance routine instead of fighting the apocalypse.

Lock Jaw 08-02-2020 10:18 PM

Forcing myself to stop reading my book to watch this before the website CBR continues giving too many spoilers in titles of articles.

Lock Jaw 08-03-2020 01:59 AM

4 episodes in.... will never not bust out grinning whenever a fight scene occurs and the music breaks out

Seanny One Ball 08-03-2020 01:24 PM

Space Boy not as useless as he was last season, still a big sad sack though.
One thing that plagues me is why does nobody ever ask to speak to Ben through Klaus? Poor ghost is constantly ignored.

Seanny One Ball 08-03-2020 05:04 PM

Episode 7 is one of those incredible episodes that only fantastic writing, a superior cast and perfect direction can produce.

Seanny One Ball 08-03-2020 06:55 PM

Lyla isn't well played or written.
Bit of a wasted opportunity, actress has no talent or range.

Seanny One Ball 08-03-2020 07:05 PM

Getting a bit pathetic now how easily some situations could be remedied and how stupid this makes everybody seem.

I mean I get that they are all supposed to be inept to some degree but being totally useless and dumb isn't relatable. Not with their gifts.

Takes the shine off the quality when these things are over done.

The last few episodes are all very good though, the first half weren't as action packed.

Season 1 was great, season 2 is only "very good" even if it is basically just a rehash of season one in a different timeline.

Damian Rey 2.0 08-04-2020 04:30 AM

Klaus sup be forever endearing me. He is the most genuine character on the show.
