"On October 1, 1989, 43 women around the world give birth simultaneously, despite none of them showing any sign of pregnancy until labor began. Seven of the children are adopted by eccentric billionaire Sir Reginald Hargreeves, and turned into a superhero team through what he calls "The Umbrella Academy". Hargreeves gives the children numbers rather than names, but they eventually come to be known as Klaus, Luther, Diego, Allison, Ben, and Vanya. Number Five is never named.[2] While putting six of his children to work fighting crime, Reginald keeps Vanya apart from her siblings' activities, as she seemingly has no powers of her own. In the present day, Luther is an astronaut, Allison is a famous actress, Vanya is a violinist, Klaus is a party animal with a drug addiction, Ben is a ghost only able to converse with Klaus, and Diego has become a vigilante with a penchant for trouble. The estranged siblings learn that Reginald has died and gather for his funeral. Number Five returns from the future, revealing that a global apocalypse is imminent. Meanwhile, the reunited siblings try to uncover the secret of their dysfunctional family while beginning to come apart due to their divergent personalities and abilities" Robert Sheehan as Klaus Hargreeves / Number Four / The Séance, a flamboyant drug addict with the ability to communicate with the dead

I quite enjoyed this series, but the gay content is really very minimal.

Cute cast video (filmed at their homes, presumably) to announce the premiere date for season 2: July 31.

The only reason I initially watched this was because of Robert Sheehan. He was in a show called Misfits that I enjoyed watching. Even though I love my gay content on tv I wasn't expecting too much to begin with. I will definitely be tuning in next season though.

Not the biggest fan of Four, so I don't really care too much about the LBGT plot. It is Five that keep me watching. And also wanting to find out a bit more with Ben, especially since it seems like he might be coming back to life

I'm kind of sad they never brought Ben back to life, especially since it was so easy to do when they are doing time travel. I'll still watch it for Five though

Renewed for a fourth and final season. Hopefully this time they give Klaus more of a romantic storyline. He (and Ben) are the only characters not to have a major love interest. http://instagram.com/p/ChrydHFuHu1
