White males in tights save the day, again. Superpowers and spandex to the rescue, grace our screens with heroic—but utterly useless—displays of strength and courage. Oh, the humanity! Gerard Way's comic-turned-TV fantasy returns for one last hurrah on Netflix, perpetuating the myth of the all-American hero.

The kakistocracy at Netflix has bestowed upon us the final season of The Umbrella Academy—a show centered on a group of dysfunctional, adopted superheroes, based on the comic book series by My Chemical Romance frontman, Gerard Way. Prepare to binge and say goodbye to your faves.

Way, a trans icon and genius, created this series with Elliot Page, who also stars as Viktor Hargreeves. The upcoming season includes a song from My Chemical Romance, “The End,” so expect feels and an epic soundtrack as you navigate the last six episodes.
