Still, while not everything lands, it's a refreshing change from the new norm of squeaky-clean or hyper-cynical superhero productions.įinally, to Isabela: maybe work on judging and spamming less and more on finding partners with some compatible interests. Rita ( April Bowlby) and Jane ( Diane Guerrero) have lost their longevity already, leaving only Cliff ( Brendan Fraser) and Larry ( Matt Bomer) left. Fraser lost me, sadly, but I partly blame the writing for that. The magical realism works for me far more than the gritty "realism" of, say, Nolan's Batman (Tim Burton's is still unrivaled) or the cookie-cutter, joyless caricature of itself that the recent Marvel franchises have become.īy far the best performances go to Bowlby, Bomer, and Zuk. 20192023 TV-MA 1h IMDb RATING 7.8 /10 57K YOUR RATING Rate POPULARITY 560 18 Play trailer 1:55 42 Videos 99+ Photos Action Adventure Comedy The adventures of an idealistic mad scientist and his field team of superpowered outcasts.

On July 20, 2019, the series was renewed for a second season. The first season of the series ran from February to May 2019.

I made this account to balance the "review" of this show by someone who appears not to have watched it, but instead seems to be reviewing her partner/soon-to-be-ex in what I can only describe as the most unhinged take on here yet.įor me (and my very sociable husband, who loves DC and the show 😜), the series is absurd, campy, and character driven, exactly as it should be, because superhero comics are all those things by nature-and the Doom Patrol comics knew this and embraced it. Doom Patrol is an ongoing web television series based on the DC Comics team the Doom Patrol.
