The first reviews for the third season of the Netflix superhero series, The Umbrella Academy, are now in. So how does the latest adventure for the Hargreeves siblings fare against their critically acclaimed prior outings?

The praise continues courtesy of Comicbook....

Children are a lot of things: gross, cruel, kind, quiet, and anything and everything in-between. Those who grew up with a younger sibling likely know this, and those who were the youngest sibling reveled equally in both tormenting and playing with their older brothers and sisters.

One of the most comforting and painful genres in movies is the classic coming of age story. Whether it be by classics, such as any movie by John Hughes or Greta Gerwig’s debut of Lady Bird, these coming of age films shape the way young adults romanticize their lives and ultimately view themselves. So, why is it that the staples of this genre are always John Bender with his fist in the air, or any character Molly Ringwald has played (usually wearing some sort of pink dress), and what other characters can we fall in love with?...

The Good A very important movie that offers something for everyone. The Bad Navigating around all the extra features was a bit confusing.
