Netflix 'The Umbrella Academy' review: Amid the gore it is Hazel's relationship with Agnes that stands out

'The Umbrella Academy has given us many memorable moments on the show, but none came close to the picture of beauty, that is Hazeel and Agnes' relationship on the show.
PUBLISHED FEB 19, 2019

Netflix's adaptation of Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá's award-winning, cult comic book series 'The Umbrella Academy' finally aired last Friday in all its strange and visually stunning glory. While Steve Blackman, the show's writer, did make a few changes to the script for the live-adaptation series, his story didn't take away from Way's dream of seeing his graphic novel come to life.

The show chronicles the lives of six family members with superpowers, who get reunited after 17 years in order to stop an approaching apocalypse while having two futuristic assassins, wearing brightly-colored cartoon masks, hot on their tail.
