'Umbrella Academy' Characters As College Majors
Are you treating this semester like Klaus or Diego?
This show. Netflix choosing to adapt Gerard Way's comic into real life was TV (or binging) gold. This is not your average superhero show. It gives you a behind the scenes look at what it might be like to live the life of someone with powers. I felt like each character someone could relate to in some way. I think that is what makes a good show is when each character is complex enough to make us identify with them. Speaking of identifying, look below and see which character matches your college major!
