Season 3 Review: This is not a seven episode season for anyone who craves convention. At times, the plot sequencing can feel chaotic, lurching. But tonally, Doom Patrol opens up boxes that offer opportunities rarely taken. This is a gift. Having hopped on the trauma exploration train long before its current fever pitch on TV, Doom Patrol gives you the ugliness of characters struggling. Read full review

Season 2 Review: Doom Patrol remains as effortlessly odd-ball in its sophomore season, but also improves itself by leaning even harder into the tragedy of it all at the same time. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The world-building of Doom Patrol--which gleefully trusts its audience as it leads us into a world where superheroes are firmly established--is riotous and engaging without feeling weighed down by the genre’s typical pitfalls. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The series is refreshingly self-aware, both in the hilarious meta narration by Alan Tudyk as the team’s archenemy Mr. Nobody. ... And in its more fundamental understanding that if you make a show about these characters, you’d best come weird or not come at all. Its highs aren’t as high, but it’s more consistently satisfying.

Season 1 Review: Character development and quirkiness can be swell, but the adaptation of this band of heroes spends too much time meandering -- and showing off its geek credentials -- for "Doom" deliver much of a boom. Read full review

By far The most fascinating comic book adaption on television. All the characters and side characters are fleshed out. And the finale leaves you wanting more .

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I began watching Doom Patrol after I finished Titans on Netflix, as I learnt of this show through one crossover episode. Earlier I was a bit hesitant to watch it, since I didn't know any of these superheroes. However, when I began watching it and learnt Cyborg was in it, I thought maybe I won't be so lost after all.

And now I think this is my favourite TV show of all time. The continuous fourth wall breaking is interesting BECAUSE of being overdone, the fact that the story doesn't progress at all in the first 13 episodes is hilarious, the characters are given depth and we can understand it very well why they cannot get over their past and learn to live in the present because of their depression and arrogance.

Although Season 2 was a bit underwhelming and rushed with a very unsatisfying ending, you can very well understand it happened because of the sudden COVID lockdown. I hope after the pandemic ends the season will be continued and a proper ending will be given, although I don't mind if they start directly with a Season 3.

My favourite character in the series was Robotman (Cliff Steele). Whenever he is around we know something interesting or funny will happen. Plus he looks so cool. His fight with Jesus in the last episode and when he got a rat in his circuit left me in splits. I hope to see more of this in future. I recommended this show to all my friends and they all liked it. I'd recommend you to see it too if you are above 18.… Expand

This show is based on a DC Comics series of the same name, and it follows a group of superheroes who have all been scarred in some way, either physically or emotionally. The stories are complex and often heartbreaking, but they're also full of hope and ultimately very uplifting. The cast is phenomenal, and the special effects are top-notch.

How to describe Doom Patrol. Well, I suppose the easiest way is to ask, Have you ever wanted to watch a comic in TV format while on ACID?

The good news is that Doom Patrol delivers that experience without having to take the Acid. I was pleasantly surprised by the Doom Patrol. I went in blind personally. Then as I watched I realized the cast was top-notch, the acting was fantastic, and the stories were as wild as you can imagine, then a bit further. The comic characters are fleshed out to a level, I believe no other TV is close to, nor even major Comic Movies are even close to. Every character is downright someone you can feel with, and every character is completely flawed, exactly how they would be in real life. I can't believe we are getting this quality of the show on TV. Absolutely stunning. My 1 issue with the show. Cyborg's suit. It needs to be fixed soon, cause every time I see him on screen, it feels like a super low budget Day time drama.… Expand

Doom Patrol has a great cast of actors, no denying that.
The first two episodes really got me interested, but unfortunately, it got boring fast.
Episode 8 with Danny Street was AMAZING. It was fun to see how they brought "Danny the gay genderqueer cross-dressing street" from the comics toDoom Patrol has a great cast of actors, no denying that.

Embracing the silliness was done perfectly, and I do like their take on Mr. Nobody.

Around episode 7 and 8, it gets good again, the final episode was somewhat of a let down for me personally though.

Beard hunter was disgusting, and over the top for me.

Overall good first season, hopefully, they can adjust their course a little bit and perfect their flaws and it should be great!
Those complaining about "SJW" stuff, clearly have no idea what they're talking about.
If Danny the Street makes you uncomfortable, that's on you for not knowing who it is.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very poor writing. Even worse acting. Terrible story lines. The entire show seems like it was written by a 7th grader with tourettes syndrome. Literally every other word is the F bomb. It feels sorry, forced, and cliché. I'd rather go to a bad, blind, dentist than watch this garbage.… Expand
