The clip opens with Five descending from a swirling time vortex and emerging from an alleyway in downtown Dallas to discover that he has seemingly landed in an alternate timeline for November 25, 1963, where the streets are commandeered by Soviet troops and battle tanks. He spots a newspaper amongst the rubble, with a headline that reads: "Soviets Attack U.S., JFK Declares War on Reds." Without hesitation, Five's siblings step into the ensuing chaos and unleash their superpowers in a series of action-packed sequences detonated by the backing track of Frank Sinatra's "My Way." Hazel interrupts the chain reaction of explosions, bullets, and bangs as he zaps onto the scene to rescue Five from the impending nuclear apocalypse and give him a chance to save his family.

It proved to be a huge hit for Netflix, which reported that 45 million households had watched the show, and quickly ordered a second season. We awarded the first season an 8.5 review, calling it "hilariously twisted, subversively stylish, and surprisingly poignant." We named it as one of the best new TV series of 2019, and one of the best comic book series - plus, it was IGN People's Choice Winner in both of those categories.
