Kinda like a weird combination of Watchmen and Kick Ass. And is it just me or does Ellen Page not look a day older than 16 even now?

Umm, she looks rode hard my friend. You need a better definition TV. Lol

Plus, her character is unbearable to watch. Klaus, while jacked up, is more entertaining on screen.

Almost done with it, still not sure I really like it.

Only 1080p but I think she looks like a sullen, depressed kid. LOL But given what her character has had for a life.....seems legit. LOL

It is kinda weird, but I also liked The OA, which this reminds me of for some reason.

I saw a trailer for this show in the theater. Looks interesting. My Netflix dalliances have been Glitch. In production for a third season. If you start this one you have to start at the beginning. And, Traveler. Only two episodes in on the second. We'll see how it shakes out.

It just dawned on me that Hazel is Ed Kemper (serial killer on Mindhunter). LOL

It was a good first season. Kinda dark.
Ellen Page's character is quite moody.

It was different. I enjoyed a different take on superheroes than I am used to.

Man I don't like Ellen Page in real life...at all.

Good show though, I'll watch season 2.

Yeah, she sounds like a horrid person IRL.

I like it. An interesting, different take on the super-powered persons genre.

Glad to hear Glitch is coming back for a 3rd season. So many questions after season 2.

Umbrella Academy is in the list just not had a chance to start watching.

We watched it - I liked it mostly. The Ellen Page character was downright annoying - but that is likely the point. Lots of depth to build on for season 2

I just watched the entire first season this weekend. I'm mixed on it, but I think I've liked it overall.

When's the second season start?

Regarding Ellen Page:
* Based on appearance, she reminds me of an ex. In a good way. Wink
* Based on Wikipedia, I can see why you guys mention not liking her IRL.




God bless America.

Im mixed as well. It started on a low with me watching it over my computer but it exited on a high. I like the characters which I cant say about Watchmen which was just an orgy of grittiness to me. This started off with everyone being a bunch of mopes but it fleshed them out and I liked them about midway through and it came together. I'd like them to not have the kickass style "ironic" music for fights and such but overall thats a stylistic difference.

If theres a season 2 I'd be interested.

On Season 2, episode 7 now.....definitely trippy. Loving the visuals and soundtrack. The dialog is often hilarious. Pretty decent story to boot.

Enjoyed both seasons, and the set up for the third one looks good.
When you guys mention Glitch do you mean the "back from the dead" type show set in Australia?
If so, the third and final season was out some time ago.
