I tried episode one, found it a bit edgy for me for the first 20 mins or so, sort of worked out it wasn’t quite going to normal like James Bond or MI. Tried got keep going , but soon as the butler appeared as a dog, or badger or something dressed in a tux , I knew I was gonzo out of there.

wellll.... You're watching a series about kids with superpowers, in a modern world where they don't have cell phones. I think an evolved / experimented upon chimpanzee would be the least of your concerns...

No, quite different, actually. No crime solving, really. Just trying to stop the end of the world, essentially.

Ok.... Must say it hasn't piqued my interest.. But maybe I'll give it a go

And its about 10x better than alpha's.. it really does get good in the later episodes..oh and the world ends...or does it

Umbrella is one of those shows where the juvenile presentation just seems fitting.

Its not pg13 by any means though. At least not enough to be discouraging. It doesn't unfold in any real meaningful or thought provoking way either and there are also plot holes if you're the nitpick type. BUT. Its a great story. One I really enjoyed watching unravel. Especially on the character development side of things.

Alpha's was rubbish imo. And in hindsight. So was the attempt to revive Heroes.

What I like about Umbrella is how the characters are defined by their personalities and relationships rather than their powers.

It had potential.. But never lived up. There was a string of shows at the time that were like that. Both the 4400 and heroes had heaps of potential and then a few seasons in became bleh

This looks pretty good.
