Sex and romance are downplayed in favor of violence, but one adopted sibling does have romantic feelings for another, and there's a gay character who sometimes makes iffy remarks about the appearance and attractiveness of various men.
They're shot, stabbed, and torn apart, with spurting blood and gore - in piles of dead bodies. Characters, usually depicted as villains, bad guys, or faceless minions, are dispatched bloodily by the so-called heroes. Parents' main concern will likely be the show's violence: It's gory, bloody, and sometimes set to music, so that it reads as more cheerful than it should. Parents need to know that The Umbrella Academy is a series about a group of adopted siblings with superpowers who team up to try to prevent a fiery future apocalypse.
