            This episodic TV show is based on the comic "The Umbrella Academy" published by Dark Horse Comics. The backstory is: at the 12th hour of the first day of October 1989, 43 babies were born whose mothers were not pregnant when the day started. Sir Reginal Hargreeves (played by Colm Feore) adopted 7 of them leaving 36 to grow up on their own (remember this). The 7 adopted babies were raised to be superheroes and save the world. Sir Reginald named their home The Umbrella Academy.They are: #1 Luther (Tom Harper), #2 Diego (David Castañeda), #3 Allison (Emmy Raver-Lampman), #4 Klaus (Robert Sheehan), #5 just known as Number Five (Aidan Gallagher), #6 Ben (Justin H. Min) and #7 Vanya (Ellen Page). Sir Reginald prepared his "children" to save the world, after all they have super powers - all except Vanya (remember this, too). But not everything went as smoothly as Sir Reginald planned. Internal strife arose and caused the family to split apart. When the children went in different directions, left were Sir Reginald, his wife - or robot - Grace (Jordan Claire Robbins) and their butler - or chimp - Pogo (Adam Godley).Sir Reginald sees a global apocalypse coming and dies of natural causes - or maybe it is suicide - to get the family members together again. Hence the title of Episode 1: "We Only See Each Other at Weddings and Funerals". Umbrella Academy family members Luther, Diego, Allison, Klaus, and dead Ben work to avoid the apocalypse. Enter Leonard Peabody (John Magoro) - one of the 36 non-adopted babies (remember them?). Leonard tried to get into the Umbrella Academy but was turned away. So, he acts out his revenge by helping to bring about the apocalypse. He does this by manipulating Vanya (who actually does have super powers). Those super powers had been masked by Sir Reginald's mandatory medication.The first 10 episodes were adapted from the 1st volume of the Dark Horse comic: Apocalypse Suite.
