Five lets Luther in on his secret, Klaus returns from a harrowing trip through time, and Vanya begins to feel different without her meds.
Despite not being a fan of the comic book series, I watched the entirety of Season 1 of The Umbrella Academy and so far it got me completely hooked. It had a great premise (a comedic version of X-Men), done with great comedy and good drama, the acting from everyone involved is great, the action is pretty cool, and the music is good too.
Number Five is another great episode. Yes, the pacing could've been a little better, but that's my only quibble. Everything else is great. The story continues to intrigue me with thought-provoking writing, it's stupendous world building around the Umbrella Academy, and wonderful characters. The acting is still great with Aidan Gallagher continue to impress as Number Five while Tom Hooper and Robert Sheehan also do good jobs as Luther and Klaus (who continues to steal the show with not only his great comedy, but an even greater depth to him). The cinematography continues to be well made, the costumes are nice, and the music is still good.
Overall, another great episode of the promising 1st season. :)
