25 Best Superhero TV Shows Of All Time
23. The Umbrella Academy
One of 2019's most beloved new shows, Netflix's adaptation of the Dark Horse comic introduced mainstream audiences to the dysfunctional family of superhero siblings that reunite following the death of their father and, after an unexpected trip to the future, must prevent the apocalypse from killing them all in a matter of days.
High stakes right to the end, The Umbrella Academy's debut offering did a great job of juggling the intensity of the gang's heroic abilities with its loud and unapologetic tone. Could its knack for gloominess hinder it at times? Yes, but it's something that can be easily mended in the second season.
A strong beginning to what could turn into the best superhero show on TV today, The Umbrella Academy certainly has room for improvement, but its witty writing, impressive visuals and infectious cast make up for that, ensuring that it fully deserves its spot on this list.
