Such a weird, wonderful show.

Doom Patrol is some of the best comic book TV period. As good as Daredevil, if not better in certain aspects.
It isn’t beholden to the gritty realism of the latter, and is as bonkers,
trippy and unique as a show could possibly be.

@MusaTariq25 - It isn't as bonkers as Legion or Preacher though. I still remember, when I watched the first episode of Legion, I was like what the [frick] was that? But they both went downhill after the first season. I hope that isn't the case with Doom Patrol. As of right now Daredevil is still better imo.

@MusaTariq25 - I really don't think it's fair to compare the two though given how different they are. I will say though the DD is still my all-time favourite comic-book tv shoe but Doom Patrol comes at a close second.

Okay. I was at a wine tasting with my cousin Ernesto. Which was mainly reds, and you know I don't like reds, man. But there was a rose that saved the day. It was delightful. And then he tells me about this girl, Emily, that we used to kick it with. It was actually the first pair of boobs I ever touched.

It's the wrong details. It has nothing to do with the story. Go.

So, uh, he tells me that she's working as a housekeeper now, right? And she's dating this dude, Carlos, who's a shot caller from across the bay. And she tells him about the dude that she's cleaning for. Right? That he's like this big-shot CEO, that is all retired now, but he's loaded. And so, Carlos and Ernesto are on the same softball team, and they get to talking, right? And here comes the good part. Carlos says, "Yo, man. This show is, like, already online free, just chilling." Of course Ernesto comes to me because he knows I got mad thieving skills. Of course, I ask him... "Did Emily tell Carlos to tell you to get to me what kind of show it was?" And he says, "Nah, dawg. All she said is that it's super-legit and whatever's in it it's gotta be good."

Can we sit back and appreciate the bonkers nature of this show? Trying to get the team into the white space (that space between the panels in a comic), Flex Mentallo accidentally flexed his scalene capitis muscle.

Instead of teleporting the team to the next dimension, he gave the whole team (except Cliff) and everyone on Danny Street (including Danny) mind blowing orgasms.

@Battabing - I KNOW! It was like seeing the comic book TV equivalent of the iconic restaurant scene from "When Harry Met Sally".

I became a big fan of the show after seeing the first episode. Planning on catching up this weekend starting with the 8th episode, Doom Patrol is awesome. Some things have been changed from the comics to fit their narrative though. (Mr. Nobody i.e. is not this sadistic or omnipotent compared to the comic version) And Brendan Fraser is amazing with as Robotman. Swamp Thing has a huge task ahead in filling up the spot once it's junior Season ends.

What I am not a fan of is about the jab to the Arrowverse, which was as subtle to an axe to the face, despite the fact that it counts with a shorter budget and limited resources yet it still has managed to build a cohesive Multiverse on the silver screen with charming characters, a lot of heart in their stories, positive role model materials, world building, some of the best week to week cgi of any network television programming, the best live-action adaptations of iconic characters such as Superman and Lex Luthor since Christopher Reeve and Michael Rosenbaum did it, great OST, unmatched interconnectivity between shows, etc. They have around the same number of live-actions show (Arrow, Flash, Legends, Supergirl and Batwoman) that DC Universe has right now (Titans, Doom Patrol, Swamp Thing and Star-Girl) and I'd say we are still 4 or 3 and a half years away before they've been here for a decade in 2022.

Josh Wilding usually gets accused here of trying to stir up things in his articles, don't wanna think that others want to also follow the example.

@NinnesMBC - "What I am not a fan of is about the jab to the Arrowverse, which was as subtle to an axe to the face"

Editors technically arent supposed to be bringing personal bias into articles (I wouldn't be doing that if this was my article), so no idea why it was included here. If you dont like a show or a shared universe, then converse about that where proper: dont detail your article about one show by bringing up another unrelated series just to make a jab.

But at the same time, I'm not surprised. At least 2 of the main editors hate the Arrowverse shows.

@Murdock857859 - I really liked what he did here. I am curious to heard what he composed for Swamp Thing if he worked in it. Titans' theme is a mixed bag, except for the middle part which is my fave segment of that sound.

This is my favorite show right now. It really captures the magic of Grant Morrison's run. And it sounds like next season might be The Brain and Monsieur Mallah! DC hasn't made a bad show yet on this app, and that only makes me salivate more for Swamp Thing and Stargirl.

I got to say my favourite team-up episode was when they worked with Willoughby Kipling.

Wonderfully weird.
Sentient streets, donkeys that are keys, 4th wall breaking.

Great characters cliff steele is hilarious, jane is nuts in a fun way and cyborg brings the seriousness to the abnormal.

As much as I [frick]ing loathe the Snyderverse and the technicolor abortions of his DCEU films and the rewatchability factor of WW/Aquaman is debatable...

I [frick]ING LOVE THIS APP AND THE CONTENT ON IT

How in the name of Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez did they manage to [frick] up the movies so badly and get such a backwards assed thing like App Only Exclusive TV so right?

Titans was 1000 times better than it had any right to be and Doom Patrol might be the best comic book content in a television format - it's every bit as good as the first season of Daredevil on Netflix.

Brendan Frasier as Robotman just makes me happy.

Best casting since RJD as Tony Stark IMO and that gal that plays Crazy Jane is a [frick]ing badass.

One of the best shows on TV right now IMO. They don't shy away from the weirdness at all.

The season has been quite good. Has had its ups and downs with some fluctuating quality in the middle of the season, but the last 3 episodes were very good and excited to see the finale.
HeavyMetal4Life
HeavyMetal4Life - 5/18/2019, 9:30 PM
For me, this is a tier 2 comic book show. Better than most comic book shows on TV, but not quite at the heights of Agents of SHIELD or Daredevil. But not everything is a competition, the show is still very enjoyable without being forced into a title (like some have been doing since the show began). Love Robotman and Cyborg especially.

I do think that it may be best next season to either shorten the episode count to say 12, or to choose a storyline that can largely carry an entire season. Because there was a bit of fluctuating quality in the middle of the season and at times it felt like the writers/showrunners didn't really know what to do with the overall, overarching narrative.

But a quite good and enjoyable season, looking forward to the finale and where the team goes in season 2.

I'm waaaay behind on the show right now. With all the Endgame rewatched, random 80s horror movie on Amazon, YOU on Netflix, Game of Thrones and life itself I'm having a hard time keeping up. Plus all the CW shows. Though I did watch the Arrow finale missing like 5 eps prior.
