The Umbrella Academy, Season 1
by multiple writers and directors
Of the 43 children born 1 October 1989 with no gestation period, the
eccentric and sometimes cruel billionaire Reginald Hargreeves brought up seven of them
and turned them into the super-powered group called the Umbrella Academy when they
developed powers. Nearly thirty years later, after Hargreeves dies, the five surviving
members of the group gather at their family home. Oh, and: Number Six died some time ago
and only Number Four can see him; Number Five disappeared about seventeen years ago, but
he’s back (and in his 13-year-old body) after living 45 years in a post-apocalyptic
future that’s scheduled to start in eight days.

As far as I could tell, I was the last person left alive. I never figured out what killed
the human race. I did find something else: the date it happens. . .
. The world ends in eight days, and I have no idea how to stop it.
The Umbrella Academy, Season 1 by multiple writers and
directors, 10 episodes (Netflix, USA, 15 February 2019).
