Upto S1 E8 was decent and enjoyable but not memorable or great quality writing etc then it went Woke & Gender bs. Everything GoWokeGoBroke is true and from most reviews S2 is where it all goes downhill. I will complete S1 dor* as it is a weird show and I am curious how they end eaxh character plot in S1. Goodbye S2 Woke bs no plans to watch a decent show get worse.
Doom Patrol is a surprisingly good show that you should watch. It has things in it that you would never expect. You would think it's just another super hero show but there is so much more to it then that.
The first season was really good, the second ok, but the third sucked. I actually never started the fourth one. I'm out.
Season 1 was pretty good. Had some good episodes in there and others not so much.
Season 2 is terrible. Season 2 episode 4 was one of the worst things I have ever seen on a screen. It's made me stop watching the show.
Try telling someone who hasn't watched the show about the episode, you sound like an idiot describing the dumbest dream anyone has ever had.
Tapping out and moving onto one of the other billion shows on my to watch list that don't involve a woman orgasming to save everyone at a sex party including ghosts.
DCU is on a roll. This is an enjoyable show thus far. Much better than the Marvel crap on Netflix & Hulu. I wish DCU movies are good as the show like this. Anyway, I would recommend watching this show if you are into DCU, good actors, bizarre, good sound track, funny lines, etc.
tried to keep up with it turned into snooze fest
Really impressed by some of the casting in this show: Brendan Fraser, Timothy Dalton, Alan Tudyk.
It commits a lot of time to explaining how useless and worthless the characters are as they bumble their way through the plot.
Overall, the show has a vindictive, bleak and juvenile tone to it, while also being somewhat restrained, full of edgy jokes that feel like they've emerged from the pen of a teenager who's afraid to be too edgy lest they offend their mother.
For example, there is "Crazy Jane" whose superpower revolves around her multiple personality disorder who gets to provide the wish fulfilment of doing something like, violently stapling a poster to someone's head, but doesn't have to deal with the moral complexity of that action because it was just her "bitch personality" doing it. In fact, 3 out of the 4 heroes in the original group (all but the protagonist) have superpowers that practically have personalities of their own, therefore justifying a wide range of out-of-character actions on the basis that "their superpower did the bad thing". The bad thing is played for a bit of drama or a joke and then we move on and forget about it because the thing they did wasn't on purpose.
On the matter of vindictiveness, it's a little worrying that the mental illnesses experienced by many of the characters are just framed as character-defining quirks belonging to "losers" and not as, like, genuine mental illnesses in need of professional treatment.
In the end, my experience is that the show is watchable but kind of boring and shallow.
Omg, I watch al kind of si-fi but this show really sucks, stopt after the 2nd episode.
Well, I dunno'. Just watched the 1st episode... and I have some issues with this. I give some more chances, but I am not hoping it is going to be better in my eyes.
I loved the first two seasons of this show but season 3 isn't quite up to snuff as the first two.
going down season after season
This show is wayyyy underrated! It’s crazy, funny, goofy, hilarious, fun entertainment. Not at all what I was expecting and that’s what makes it so great. Definitely a must watch!!
Good show. All characters are interesting and acted well but I have NO INTEREST in Larry. Honestly the show would be better without him at this point
Another crap from DC TV series. I'm not a hater, but only somebody that felt this excruciating TV series as a pain in the....
Such a shame. What started off as a wonderfully quirky and funny comic book adaptation, quickly turned into a off-the-charts silly caricature of itself, especially after the Dorothy debacle in season 3. Thankfully is it has been put out of its misery now.
ok, after seeing the finale episode of the show it is time to ask THE question. I was waiting patiently to finish season 2, then i was wondering about season 3 and then i had hopes maybe on season 4 but it is not clear for me at all. So,
Has anyone legit understood what this show was about ?
Doom Patrol is like a rollercoaster ride, but instead of loops and corkscrews, you get sentient streets and time travel. It’s a superhero show on acid that we never knew we needed; it's weird, it's wacky, and it's a whole lot of fun. You have a bunch of misfit with weird powers. Think of it as a cross between The X-Men and The Addams Family, with a dash of Monty Python thrown in for good measure but with more swearing and giant cockroaches. It's like the writers took a page out of Douglas Adams' book and cranked the absurdity up to 11. But somehow, it all comes together in a way that's both hilarious and heartwarming.
The cast is fantastic, with Brendan Fraser stealing the show as Robotman. He's a superhero who's part man, part machine, and all snark. His one-liners will have you in stitches, and his backstory will break your heart. It's like if Iron Man was a stand-up comedian. He's the perfect anti-hero, with a heart of gold and a mouth like a sailor. Timothy Dalton is also a standout as the eccentric Dr. Niles Caulder, the teams leader. He's like if Willy Wonka decided to become a superhero. He's the kind of guy who wears a top hat to a funeral and thinks it's perfectly normal. You've got Crazy Jane, who's got more personalities than the Queen's Guard. Seriously, she's like a one-woman Fringe Festival. Then there's Negative Man, who's like a walking Chernobyl disaster. He's got so much radiation in him, he makes the Hulk look like a nightlight. The rest of the cast is equally impressive, with each member bringing their own unique quirks and personalities to the table. It's like a superhero version of the Island of Misfit Toys.
But it's not just the characters that make Doom Patrol so great. The writing is top-notch, balancing the serious stuff with the bonkers stuff perfectly. It's like if Sigmund Freud and Salvador Dali wrote a superhero show. The show tackles heavy topics like mental illness and trauma with sensitivity and nuance, while still managing to be hilarious and absurd; as if a therapy session was combined with a circus. It's like the writers took a bunch of acid and then decided to make a superhero show taking all the best parts of Twin Peaks and The Tick and mashed them together using a page out of Monty Python's playbook.
The special effects are also amazing. The show manages to make a giant cockroach look positively smashing, and the scene where Negative Man sings "People Like Us" in a nightclub is like something out of a West End musical, if the musical was written by Tim Burton and directed by David Lynch. It's like if you took a David Bowie concert and mixed it with a David Cronenberg movie.
In short, if you're looking for a superhero show that's both hilarious and heartwarming, look no further than Doom Patrol. It's like The Avengers, but with more robots and sentient streets. It's a show that's not afraid to get weird, and boy, does it get weird. But somehow, it all comes together in a way that's both hilarious and heartwarming. It's a breath of fresh air in a genre that can sometimes take itself a little too seriously. The show is like a fever dream, with each episode taking you on a wild ride of emotions and absurdity. It's a must-watch for anyone who wants to see something a little different. So grab some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy the ride. It's going to be a bumpy one. But hey, life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get.
I like season 1 so much. I managed to watch season 2. But now i have to stop watching cus i was hoping it will get better after season 3 but it didn't.
Clifford is the best character ever.
Doom patrol maybe flawed like its characters, but this is part of the charm. Best super heroes TV series currently on TV
I wish I could convince more people to give this show a chance. The combo of working through heavy subjects and over the top ridiculous plot points is the only reason why it works so well.
That stupid donkey almost single-handedly turned me off the series. Thank god, I powered through disgusting lowbrow humor to so many powerful episodes full of overcoming personal issues and self-acceptance in general... to just finishing an episode about were-butt that turned into zombie were-butt and I was even along for this ridiculous ride this time around.
Best from Dc.Story about outcasts superhero's.It might feel weird about the synopsis.But once you start watching,it's all you need to watch.I bet anyone would cry at the 9th episode.
The speciality of this show is that every characters touches you including occasional villains.
I really hope season 3 will leave this "little Mary sue" bullshit plot behind and make the story more interesting...
It's a good show. I think that, as a whole, this show is essentially unlike any other show, in a good way. Pretty much everything that happens is so odd and weird but it works. Maybe the source material, too, when it was released, was the same way in that it's unlike any other comic or whatever, and perhaps that's still the case.
Everything that happens is compelling, even though you'd think it wouldn't be, because of the nature of it all. Well, as I said, it works. No matter how outrageously weird and odd it is, it works, and also manages to keep getting more outrageously weird and odd. And I imagine there's still so much more that hasn't been explored yet from the source material. Let that sink in.
For me, I don't necessarily like it as much as other people do, and not because I find the things that happen throughout the show disgusting or repulsive, or whatever. I just think I have a much different outlook than a lot of people, in general, or something along those lines. I don't recall ever getting emotional or anything like that with anything that I've watched, not just shows or movies. Anything. I've never been as expressive toward anything as I've seen people be, etc.
It's like I'm so desensitized in an overall sense, I react differently to what I watch than a normal person would. I don't feel much, and when I do, which isn't often, it's mostly just feeling uncomfortable and almost physically recoiling when watching or seeing something that makes me look away or minimize my browser and turn down the volume to zero. And that's always something like a person going on stage or something like that, in that sense, where the reactions of other people trigger me to do that.
That being said, and I apologize for going off-course with that, I enjoy watching this show. But it isn't that memorable to me. But I recommend it to anyone who reads this that hasn't watched the show to give it a shot. If you're not as desensitized as I am, which is highly likely, you'll either like it very much or dislike it very much. Or maybe you'll dislike it from a reaction standpoint but will continue watching it and may even like it when it comes down to it.
Second season has felt like so much plot filler and it's going so slow but after season one was so good you can feel that it's all coming to a head now.
Weird as fuck (So many WTF moments). Liked it though. I agree with one of the comment I saw though. It didn't have as much synergy.
I really enjoying this show. The character development is interesting and captivating.
I enjoyed the firs episode a lot, felt like a 'totally different' type of superhero series. Potentially as good as Deadpool.... that feeling only lasted that first episode and a little bit into episode 2. After that it turned crap. The lack of visible emotions on the robot and the bandage man dont help, but it all just feels so fake and ... just uninteresting. I do not care for the main characters at all, I dont feel their 'pain' so to say.
Only the girl with all the personalities is an interesting character and seems also a good actor.
I struggled through the next 5 episodes, fast forwarded episode 7 and 8 and... now I deleted the rest. I'm out.
Oh shi... This shit is dark. Kinda like legion, bu so much better!
Loved it!
Superhero programs are not my favourite; I prefer horror, fantasy and sci-fi, then probably superhero. Although my preferred genres are encapsulated in to Superhero.
I generally find a lot of the Superhero stuff a bit cheesy and repetitive. And DC doesn’t normally make good viewing.
However, this is genius! It modern, great writing, fantastic acting etc and absolutely loved the comedy element. The comedy part removes the cheesiness.
You won’t regret watching this, give it a try. I had a few good laughs. I won’t spoil anything; just wait for the giggles when a man is dancing and licking a saw...hilarious.
I hope you enjoy :blush:
Brendan Fraser starring in a super hero zero show worth watching. I know you think i'm trolling, but i'm not.
First episode was good. I did have an issue with a couple scenes having bad CGI, but nothing major (I still like to call it out when I see it). Although I enjoyed the history lesson on the characters, It should've been a 2 hour premiere instead an hour, you know, just to give people some more action scenes.
I can't comment on the entire season because it hasn't aired yet, but when I do, I'll update this post.
Wait. A super hero show with hilarious unique writing, interesting characters, no forced romances AND LGBTQ+ rep that acknowledges the existence of nonbinary identities without making them into a joke? That exists now???
No spoilers but if you want to watch a badass black drag queen beat up a raging homophobe in a story of "fuck the system and don't let anyone tell you who you are", this show is for you.
Another creative show headed down the toilet fast.
Hollywood, please stop ruining interesting intellectual property with your teen angst, immature characters with non stop personal drama mixed with woke homosexual tension.
All that does is get shows cancelled. Wake up!
this show is positively terrible. not sure why I continue to watch it but I actually hate the show. there's nothing good or exciting about it. many better shows available to watch.
Doom Patrol is like a bad car accident. You have no idea why, but you can't stop looking at it. It is so absurdly weird/bad/shitty yet my OCD keeps me engaged to the show. I hate my OCD. I loathe Doom Patrol! Friendly warning; do not start on this shitty show .. it only gets worse by each season.
season1 was ok.
s2 was ok.
s3 kinda mostly silly. there are good parts but mostly was bad for me.
6-7* for s3
I don't have enough words to describe how amazing this show is compare to all the other DC shows, the writers are nothing short of stellar, they demonstrated how you don't need 'action' to make a story good or interesting, the character build up is top notch and heartwarming, every single actors are shining and they're showing their range and true talent. the art direction is amazing, the intro is absolutely mesmerizing, the music is wonderful, this show is nothing short of being an absolute gem to behold.
This is a quirky show. Where most superhero shows often feel formulaic and/or repetitive, that is not the case with this one. Stylistically, this show is bonkers. While that does not necessarily make it good, it does make it unique. For me, the first season was easily the best, but the rest were pretty average with each season having some highs and lows. If you are a fan of superhero shows you really should at least check this one out!
Average Season Review: 7.75/10
Recommendation: At Least Give it a Whirl (For Superhero Fans)
The end made me cry...

Finally DC is making something good on TV !!! Teen Titans was a great surprise, but this one is even better. Still is not Marvel-Netflix level, but close. I love the dark humor on this one.
I like the first few episodes but it just became so boring
I predict at some point the series will crossover with Titans and terrible, token Cyborg will join them.
Good start, and a spin-off from the Titans. Pilot was good just hope they loose the narration going forward
Trying a bit too hard to be quirky, which ends up making it sort of clichéd, but, I'll give it at least a few episodes before I make up my mind. Morden wants to be a leaf on the wind, so the world can watch him soar.....

With only 2 episodes this show has made more for the characters and story than Titans in 1 season and probably the next 2. Finally a good DC "show".
