You get a look at how psychiatric facilities were run in the 1960s.
While we've come a long way in treating mental health issues in the United States, the 1960s were an entirely different story. In the second season of The Umbrella Academy, Diego Hargreeves (David Castañeda) gets detained in a psychiatric institution after sharing his plans to preemptively stop the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Although Diego eventually manages to break out of the mental healthcare facility, viewers see how rough its employees are with Diego, going as far as dislocating his shoulder. Moreover, he eventually spends some time wearing a straight jacket in a padded room, which can make just about anyone watching feel pangs of claustrophobia.
