Plenty of people feel like they don’t fit in during their teenage years, but for the characters in Netflix’s new series “The Umbrella Academy,” this feeling is taken to the extreme.

The 10-episode series, based on the comic series of the same name, revolves around six young adults who were raised together as siblings by the eccentric billionaire Sir Reginald Hargreeves, all of whom possess powers that make them stand out from the rest of society. Hargreeves raises the children as the Umbrella Academy, believing that they would become the ultimate crime-fighting team and one day save the world.

The show begins with Hargreeves death, which brings the children together for the first time in years. Now adults, each of them has had to cope with their unorthodox upbringing, the death of one brother and the disappearance of another in their own way, which varies from drug use to a four-year mission on the moon. This has caused rifts between the siblings that were ultimately a part of what split them apart. Immediately following the scattering of Hargreeves’ ashes, their missing brother reappears, having been stuck in the future for years. Unlike the others, he is still a 13-year-old, having physically not aged a day since he disappeared. Mentally, however, he has lived over 50 years in the future.

It isn’t long before the previously missing brother, referred to as Number Five, reveals to one of his siblings that the apocalypse is coming in eight days, and that they must work together to stop it. What ensues is nothing short of chaotic. Two time travelling killers come into play, more than one building is blown up and there are plenty of dangerous and strange revelations, which was to be expected with such a strange family.

What struck me about this show is how, despite the unusual and occasionally downright bizarre occurances, the bonds that the siblings have shines through. All of the remaining six children really care for each other. Klaus, who can see the dead, and Diego, who can manipulate how he throws things — most often knives — have one of the most interesting dynamics on the show. Diego is a vigilante-style crime fighter, while Klaus has become a drug addict with no interest in recovering. The two brothers could not be more different, but they always stick together and help one another.

The show is set to an eclectic soundtrack that showcases everything from Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now” to Tiffany’s “I Think We’re Alone Now.” I never knew I would enjoy an intense fight scene set to “Istanbul” from They Might Be Giants, but “The Umbrella Academy” truly incorporated a bit of everything.

It is not at all conventional, but the show’s quirks are what make it work. It’s weird, but in such a fun and unique way that it feels like an adventure. In 10 episodes, I came to care about strange characters, and when the last episode ended, I needed more.

The end of season one ended with a cliffhanger that quite literally left the fate of the world at risk, and while Netflix has not yet renewed “The Umbrella Academy” for a second season, I’m already anxiously waiting to get answers to my questions and see my favorite characters in action again.
