Doom Patrol

I can't explain my love for this show.... like an alcoholic fever dream.... surreal to the point of ridiculous but with some thought put into it....sheer brilliance...if I could meet the creators of this fantastical nonsense, then the world will be in balance! Embrace.... your will to be wierd!

This show has crossed every limit of psychological drama. Im so glad that I ran into this show. It's a weirdly unique show with a deep character development. The plot is so different and extraordinary that it makes a perfect blend of dark comedy genre and a offbeat superhero genre at the same time. The fact that writers did an super excellent job in putting together the storylines of interacting with the past and present, warping reality, time and space, mixing personalities, etc. wihtout any plothole is to be appreciated. To be honest, till now there's not a single superhero show made like Doom Patrol. Hats off to the writers for a thought provoking script and to an amazing cast who did an award winning performance. It definitely deserves a watch.

This rating is for the series as a whole, season 1 starts strong and tells new stories with interesting characters, season 2 keeps the story going but loses momentum and begins to get convoluted, season 3 adds little to the formula, loses the plot, and reuses character arcs that are dry....over all parts of the show are rewatchable but as a whole it has lost its way.

I've seen my fair share of weird and/or bizarre tv shows, Legion for example is a real mind bender... but Doom Patrol is much more weirder and bizarre... and I love it! Great cast, great characters, great story and great scenery. This is truly something different, a show that actually dares to be different and pulls it off. I'm not familiar with the 'Doom Patrol lore' and I feel that's a good thing, until now every episode has me guessing, it's unpredictable. I hope they can keep this up!

Edit: Season has ended now... and man did it hold up until the very last episode! Never a boring episode. In my book the best comic book based TV show ever. It doesn't pull any punches. I wish more creators dare to be different like the creators of this show.

Diane Guerrero is both beautiful and brilliant as Jane. Brendan Fraser surprisingly perfect as robotman. The story is a mess and all over the place, leaving holes the size of boulders and contradictions that are really annoying. Some episodes are crazy, yet entertaining, but silly at the same.

Overall entertaining, somewhat whacky, with some excellent moments.
