The start of 2019 has brought us many new shows through the Netflix streaming platform, and 'The Umbrella Academy' is one of the shows to watch out for. While most people may not have even heard of its graphic novel with the same name as recently as last year, 'The Umbrella Academy' has been slowly seeping into our consciousness and claiming a home there.

'The Umbrella Academy' is based on musician Gerard Way's award-winning novel and the first season of the show heavily revolves around the start of his comic book series, 'The Umbrella Academy: Apocolypse Suite'.
