Doom Patrol

[vxr8mate]

For anyone not relying on Netflix etc to get US TV content I would recommend this show.

It's a DC release, but closer to a mature audience not unlike Marvels Deadpool.

It is funny, well acted and makes a refreshing change from the 'kids' superhero rubbish that seems to be everywhere at the moment.

I watched the 4 available episodes of this last weekend and loved it, the cast is great, particularly Brendan Fraser despite the fact that you don't get to see his face most of the time.

Hopefully they can maintain the standard, I also really liked Titans (where people will have seen most of the Doom Patrol characters) to start with but felt like it lost it's way a little in the later epsiodes.

I've seen all episodes that have aired. It's strange, a product from DC universe that I actually really like! Alongside Titans. It has a realness to it with its language and people getting all kinds of messed up.

where/how can one watch this in the UK?

[Motorrad]

I think it's great so far. Available via the usual sources.

I wasn't sure after the first one, but stuck with it and really enjoyed ep3.

So it's not legally broadcast/available in UK yet?

I dont know as I don't live there at the moment.

Edit to add a quick Google leads me to the conclusion it will likely end up on netflix

Yes not bad seen the first season ,but usual script save the world .

Binge watching this on Apple TV (free for a year, following iPhone purchase), via 7 days free offer on Starzplay.

Really enjoying it.

Coarse, funny, weird, violent and quite serious at times.

Loving all the characters, except possibly Vic, who I'm finding a bit light - the others are ll pretty good.

Series 2 has been very good so far, an improvement on S1 I think.

[RemaL]

just finished the first series, I liked it, not so much the wife who gave up 4 episodes in

[popeyewhite]

I've got to episode 8 series 1 and have given up. As of last night. I don't mind the lack of real storyline, but it focuses far too much on the girl with many personalities and it's become tedious.

Doom Patrol is awesome, really enjoying s2 at the moment, love Cliff, brilliant character

[SlimJim16v]

Yes, S2 was very good, until the finale.

Apparently there was supposed to be another episode in series 2 but production of it wasn't complete when Covid shut everything down. Hence EP9 was re-edited to be the series finale.

I enjoyed the last episode and it left a couple of interesting cliff hangers. I just hope that it is renewed for a third season and not just abandoned like so often happens these days.

Thanks, that explains it perfectly. It really does need another series. It is one of DC's better ones, though Stargirl has been very good.

[quigonjay]

Agreed last episode did not really make sense in places but already knew there was an episode missing, I think they did the best they could with what footage was available.
Still a great series though

[SlimJim16v]

S2 of Stargirl has started. Doom Patrol soon too.
