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

I found the first hour of this oddball adventure far more enjoyable and consistent than DC Universe’s “Titans,” enlivened by sharp direction and a great ensemble. Read full review

It’s already a hit with DC Comics aficionados lucky enough to land a screener. For the rest of us, this offbeat superhero tale is a refreshingly twisted tale accentuated by the unlikely casting of Fraser and Dalton. Read full review

Doom Patrol offers an entertaining, illuminating pilot episode that distinguishes itself by doing a deep dive into the backstories of its characters. Read full 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.

Dressing up the standard superteam tropes with this kind of metafictional framework could get old fast. But a show that gives you a donkey who spells out messages in big green clouds of flatulence gets at least one more week from me. Read full 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

I love everything in this series.
The atmosphere, the irony, the stories of the team.
It is perfect.
DC Comics knows how to make projects of excellent quality.

A faster start than Titans, but, then they are two different animals. This show will be a hit, it is just a matter of people relaxing and just following the story. Two episodes in and it was easy and fun. I hope to see more!! Good job everyone!!!

Love this show. Very Dr. Who'ish and violent at times and funny and character driven. A bit of David Lynch type stuff for good measure. Instantly captivating.

Finally Alan Tudyk gets the protagonism he deserves, and on a show that is quirky and experimental enough that allows him to display the extent of his versatility as an actor! The kid that plays Cyborg is terrible, Brendan Fraser's character is terribly written (He just curses a lot), andFinally Alan Tudyk gets the protagonism he deserves, and on a show that is quirky and experimental enough that allows him to display the extent of his versatility as an actor! The kid that plays Cyborg is terrible, Brendan Fraser's character is terribly written (He just curses a lot), and the Jane character isn't interesting enough as a multiple personality disorder character nor does the actress seem to emote enough nuances between those personalities for the audience to realize which one has taken over. Larry gives an unbelievable performance, charged with emotion using nothing but his voice, and that Rita actress was probably born to be a star, though perhaps she is too "classically beautiful" to get a chance from Hollywood. Things drag at times but the choice to make Tudyk the show carrier is guaranteed to keep me hooked on this show for good.… Expand

This show is absolutely brilliant, much much better than it's spin-off Titans. The tone, the premise, the writing, its all unique, It's weird but in a good way. But the show lacks the same thing that all DC shows lack. A sense of Continuity. Every episode picks up from where it left, but theThis show is absolutely brilliant, much much better than it's spin-off Titans. The tone, the premise, the writing, its all unique, It's weird but in a good way. But the show lacks the same thing that all DC shows lack. A sense of Continuity. Every episode picks up from where it left, but the new episode's all different, like every episode has a new agenda. There have only been 2 episodes so far that pick up from where it left. All those mistakes that Titans made are mildly being repeated here, like introducing a new character in every episode, it just doesn't suit this kind of a show. Now it's not a bad thing but it's not a good thing either, still this small issue doesn't ruin the show.… Expand

Great show. It't not perfect, and there's some questionable special effects, but it has heart. I care about and am invested in every single character after the first episode.

Doom Patrol had one of the best superhero pilots ever. It did a great job balancing the tragedy with the just plain weirdness factor, and the end result was an awesome episode.
