Sure but Umbrella Academy was a genuinely well produced show aside from the dramatic filler. There's very little to watch if we seek a level of intellectual honesty that is so rarely met by creatives let alone Hollywood.



Really?! I thought it was cliché after cliché after cliché.

I was definitely entertained, but intellectually? No way. The time travel bits make no sense whatsoever if you think about them for more than a few seconds.

It’s definitely a show where a super heavy dose of belief suspension is needed, and I would be ok with that if the clichés weren’t sooo pervasive.


Perhaps you can recommend some movies and shows then? I'd really appreciate it. Aside from Ex Machina and a few choice others like Moon and Black Mirror, I really haven't found any recent intellectual films or shows.
