- The Umbrella Academy, Season 1 by multiple writers and directors, 10 episodes (Netflix, USA, 15 February 2019).
Of the 43 children born 1 October 1989 with no gestation period, the eccentric and sometimes cruel billionaire Reginald Hargreeves brought up seven of them and turned them into the super-powered group called the Umbrella Academy when they developed powers. Nearly thirty years later, after Hargreeves dies, the five surviving members of the group gather at their family home. Oh, and: Number Six died some time ago and only Number Four can see him; Number Five disappeared about seventeen years ago, but he’s back (and in his 13-year-old body) after living 45 years in a post-apocalyptic future that’s scheduled to start in eight days.
—Michael Main
As far as I could tell, I was the last person left alive. I never figured out what killed the human race. I did find something else: the date it happens. . . . The world ends in eight days, and I have no idea how to stop it.

- Circa AD 2000 to 2099
- Timeline Models
- Hypertime: Despite the fact that the Commission’s headquarters is sometimes labeled as being in the 1950s, we’re convinced that it exists in a hypertime from which it can see and manipulate a single “real-world” timeline.
- Time Travel Methods
- Equation-Induced Time Travel: Although Five has an inherent time travel ability, at one point in Episode 5 he also states, “I was biding my time, trying to figure out the right equation.”
- Innate Time Travelers: Number Five
- Luggable Time Machine: the Commission’s suitcases
- Themes
- Butterfly Effect: “Time is fickle. The slightest alterations in events can lead to massively different outcomes in the time continuum.”

- Letters, Texts, Phone Calls, Talking, and Other Direct Communications through Time: Cha-Cah and Hazel’s pneumatic transport tube
- Long Life: Hargreeves and Five
- Stop the Apocalypse!: the coming apocalypse
- Time Cabal: The Commission is more of a cabal than time police, even though the Handler claims that they “are tasked with preservation of the time continuum through manipulation and removals.”
