The Umbrella Academy
Netflix’s Umbrella Academy is moreover what people know about a superhero movie or a series. It is the basics of a superhero genre but has been presented in an attractive way with blissful music and great direction.
The basic storyline of this show is what we could expect. There is a group of a few superheroes who take birth on the same day and their life is to fulfill a purpose.
All of them are raised by the same father who is mysterious and when they grow up they all go on their own different paths. When their father passes away, the separated superheroes then come together. Their purpose turns out to be saving the world.
The Boys
The Boys has a very different storyline of what a normal superhero movie or show represents. In this show it’s shown that the earth is filled with different superheroes with different powers.
There is a corporation named Vought which consists of the main superheroes and it keeps a track of their good deeds and their life.
On the other hand, there also simultaneously exist a group of people who don’t have superhero powers. These people who don’t have special powers call themselves The Boys and there is rivalry between the two.
Which one is better?
Well, both are a very tough competition to each other. If we look at the age restrictions, Boys has more explicit content than Umbrella Academy has. Talking about IMDb ratings both the shows have a really good rating. It is 8/10 and 8.7/10 for Umbrella Academy and Boys respectively.
