The Music Shines as Usual

Warning: Spoilers
Every episode of Umbrella Academy has at least one track to get you bopping, this episode is no exception but it did do it a little differently. We got a fantastic cover of Bad Guy by Billie Eilish alongside a brilliant fight scene. We also got what I can only assume is a Swedish rendition of Hello by Adele which was a joy. The story as per usual this season is also continuing to move forward. Five has been reunited with The Handler, Vanya proclaims her love to a conflicted Sissy and Diego and Luther are given a date. Plus... 1 Swede down, 2 to go. 9/10
10 stars for the soundtracks

Half Time Breather

This is the point in the series when things start revealing themselves (hopefully, but it IS The Um tells Academy!). This episode felt good.... as the descriptor says the family gets back together and in doing so all of the stress from season one is noticeably absent. The cast was having fun and it's nice to see Ellen Page enjoying herself for once. Five proves to be a bit of a bad ass as well.
There are no real answers in the character driven episode but it sets up some real situations. But over all I enjoyed the fun and camaraderie which was missing from season one.

Hauntingly moving

From the start of this episode to the end its about choices and truths. This show can sometimes get in its own way (but still be amazing!) but in this episode it just pulls you along with expert timing. The Swedish version of Adeles "Hello" by My KullsVik has taken this already powerful song is brought to a deeper and darker place. It's perfect for the scene its used in as the creators of this show have done over and over again with the song selections.
An oops!

Moving to the Center for the Big Bang

This is a nice episode because not only are the characters moving toward joining against the apocalypse, they are recognizing their own humanity, and coming clean in some senses. Even though no one will believe them, they can be true to themselves. What is of equal interest is how the controllers in whatever realm they occupy will try to do them in. There is also a meeting set up with the old man whose attention they have gotten. And will that young woman who has been groomed for battle continue to obey her "mother," who killed her family to begin with. I'm looking forward to some really good episodes.
do the twist

I thought this season was gonna have some improvement(since season 1 was a torture to watch cause it was very boring), but it's the first time I see that a show superpasses itself, in how bad it is, usually shows improve their mistakes along the seasons, this goes backwards, it's like the show has its own power to make every episode the most boring episode in a show, ever, and that's the only good thing in this show, if that can be counted as a "good thing" :/
