(Non-Spoiler Review) So, I finally finished Doom Patrol S1 this past week and WHOOF that was a painful watch. That show gets weird fast and only leans further and further into it as it goes. Based on what little we saw of Doom Patrol in their episode on Titans S1, which was pretty decent, the actual show turned out NOTHING like what was shown there, and its hard to believe these two shows even exist in the same universe. What we ended up getting was a 15 LONG episode (most episodes are over 50 minutes long) slog of weird, boring, mind-game nothingness. Literally, nothing happens at all in this series. In fact, most all the series is spent in the heads of each of the characters trying to "figure/fix" their own personal problems, which the show doesn't even do well. There is practically zero action and all the weirdness just really ends up for weirdness sakes. I kept watching the show hoping it would get better, but it actually just got worse and worse with one of the stupidest endings I've ever seen. To describe this show from a tone perspective, I'd say it is somewhat a blend of Legion, The Tick, and Legends of Tomorrow, but then ratchet up the weirdness and boredom from all of those. Anyway, I succeeded in making it through all 15 episodes and that was quite the task. As much as I like to watch all Marvel and DC shows out there, I'm going to have a hard time wanting to come back for a season 2 on this one. Would love to hear other people's opinion on the show as well. Hopefully there is somebody out there who liked it more than me.
