  • IMDb: link

Except for a scene of The Corinthian (Boyd Holbrook) tracking down Ethel Cripps (Niamh Walsh) and proposing a partnerships of sorts, which is quickly rebuffed, the rest of “Imperfect Hosts’ stays within the Dreaming where Dream (Tom Sturridge) visits Cain (Sanjeev Bhaskar) and Abel (Asim Chaudhry) asking the most loyal subjects who didn’t flee to give up that which they love the most to help him put right his world. The odd brothers are well-cast as we glimpse into their relationship without needing to explain or explore it fully. Giving us a few minutes with Gregory also proves to make a difference in feeling the character’s loss, although Dream does leave the brothers a new gift.

An unforeseen consequence of God‘s(Dennis Haysbert) appearance on Earth is revealed in “Bloody Celestial Karaoke Jam” as people begin breaking into song and dance in his prescence, although no one but Lucifer (Tom Ellis) is aware of it afterwards. All the main characters get a number here highlighted by Lucifer’s duet of “I Dreamed a Dream” with his father and the surprise of Trixie (Scarlett Estevez) singing “Smile.” While not all the members of the cast have the singing voice of the show’s star, the staging of the numbers proves quite entertaining such as in Ella (Aimee Garcia) and Mazikeen‘s (Lesley-Ann Brandt) mashup of “Bad to the Bone” and “No Scrubs.”

Along with offering glimpses of Mabel’s (Selena Gomez) relationship with her father, “Flipping the Pieces” unexpectedly pairs the youngest podcaster with Theo Dimas (James Caverly) who takes her in after the subway stabbing. With only a single clue to go on, the pair hit Coney Island searching for the identity of glitter guy. Charles (Steve Martin) and Oliver (Martin Short) sit down with Detective Williams (Da’Vine Joy Randolph) who is correct in assuming the pair have something to hide (and also have no idea how thin the walls of their apartments are).

The season opener picks up directly from the Second Season finale with the Umbrella Academy returning to the future only to find that after their experiences in the 1960s Reginald Hargreeves (Colm Feore) chose to adopt seven different children and raise them as the Sparrow Academy. The opener gives us quick introductions to the various characters making up the new squad (which hands the Umbrella Academy a solid ass kicking) along with some fun involving Jayme (Cazzie David) using her hallucinatory spitting powers to offer humorous visions for both Diego (David Castañeda) and Five (Aidan Gallagher).
