Because the second season of The Umbrella Academy is set in Dallas during the 1960s, a major arc centers on racial justice. In particular, one of the siblings, Allison Hargreeves (played by Emmy Raver-Lampman), stands up to issues of racism that plague the Southern town alongside her activist husband, Ray Chestnut (Yusuf Gatewood).
Without question, parents should be making it a point to discuss racism with their kids, and the second season of The Umbrella Academy touches on topics like sit-ins, overt racism, and violence against Black people. Although some of the scenes include physical fights, they show the dark underbelly of American history, which is a topic that's certainly worth broaching with children.
