Despite not being a fan of the comic books, I watched the entirety of the 1st season of The Umbrella Academy and so far it got me hooked. It had a great premise (a comedic version of X-Men), great comedy and good drama, great acting from everyone involved, the action's pretty cool, and the music score's good too.
The first two episodes weren't exactly perfect, but were still good enough. Episode 3 and the rest, however, is where it got even better and The Day That Wasn't is arguably one of the best episodes. Aside from some pacing issues, everything else is great. It has a lot more suspense, it delivers some neat back-stories that not only flesh out Klaus, Allison, and Luther, but also fleshes out Cha Cha and The Commission. Even Vanya is as interesting as the others.
The story still intrigues me as it continues to deliver thought-provoking writing and it's great blend of comedy and drama. The acting is still great with Aidan Gallagher, Robert Sheehan, and Mary J. Bilge delivering some of the best performances in the whole episode. The characters are still wonderful with Klaus continuing to steal the show, the cinematography and costumes are still well made, and the music score is still good.
Overall, another great episode and one of the best of the promising 1st season. :)
