I think my favourite part of the Umbrella Academy is it doesn't lampshade anything. The characters are either too dumb and or too used to the weird shit going on so it's a constant game of "Yes and" that has gotten madly out of control.
Like Five could walk in and say; we need to find 50 gallons of milk to stop the end of the world and no one would question it. No one would do it: they're all too busy with their own subplots and stupidity but no one would question it.
It just lets you enjoy the ride rather than being embarrassed about what it is and I love that.
