If you like Umbrella Academy, check out Misfits. Robert Sheehan (Klaus) is one of the main characters in the early seasons and fantastic in it. Iwan Rheon, best known for playing Ramsey Bolton, is also part of the main cast and great in a role that is very different than that one. Overall, just one of the most fun shows out there. A lot of cast turnover, the first two seasons with all the originals are the best, but I enjoyed it to the end. Joseph Gilgun is really great in it too and probably the main thing that carries the show in later seasons.

Ive heard that reccomendation often before, but what do you think, is it produces like a teenage show?

Not even close. It's a show of people saying and doing one fucked up thing after another with a massive amount of dark and mean humor. The only thing it has in common with YA stuff is the cast is young (though they're not high school age, they're adults). You'd be able to get a good idea that it very much is not what you're worried about within about the first two minutes. I'm honestly having a hard time thinking of shows that are more willing to go very far in the direction of inappropriate and fucked up. The Boys level of not caring about being offensive but lower stakes.
