rlextherobot Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) I'm the biggest Doom Patrol fan you're likely to meet, and I think they nailed it. I don't want to see the same thing from any version of the comics, where the show has shined is in melding together ideas and stories from various incarnations of the book and putting their own spin on it. I also want to give a huge shout-out for the characterizations they came up with for Rita and Larry. Rita being kind of prissy and horrified by her condition is a far more interesting take then her classic Silver Age persona (which to be honest is kind of bland) and Larry being frustrated and lonely taps into some real pathos. I wonder if we'll get a Season 2! Edited May 28, 2019 by rlextherobot Bosco685 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do have to wait weeks before we can finish the season, though. What a horrible price to pay!

It's definitely a winner relative to the other junky superhero (and related) shows. Bosco685 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Truly remarkable show, I really hope we get a second season. The most fun I have had watching a super hero adaptation, and also the most touching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skylath Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Finally got off my lazy butt and took the free trial on DC Universe also I wanted to watch the FULL run of the new Swamp Thing and I must say the show was quite refreshing to watch. Kind of brings to mind a grungy X-Men coupled with Addams Family tropes, lol. The nursing home episode with the "original Doom Patrol" by far took the cake for me in the writing department as well as seeing some of Grant Morrison's signature goofiness that makes his works iconic in a way. I'm glad to hear that a second season is on its way! Bosco685 and Pete Marino 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

▫️ Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Ok, so I paid three bucks for the first episode and after viewing decided to buy the season. Had no interest in seeing this but that first episode sealed the deal for me. Bosco685 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beige Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I loved the start but for some wierd reason Foxtel stopped it at episode 9?? I got up to ep #7 and then thought screw it, I'll wait, but they never restarted it. Is HBO the only place to find it as we don't have it here. In fact we only have half the DC arrowverse which is exasperating when they do cross-overs! Good show, just need to find the rest of season 1!

I think HBO was the sole international market distribution source for Doom Patrol. Though for the UK it has Starzplay as another source. Starzplay Lands UK Rights To DC Universe’s ‘Doom Patrol’ Quote Streaming service Starzplay has landed the UK rights to Doom Patrol, and will premiere the DC Universe show on January 2, 2020. It is currently in production on its second season after being renewed via a deal with HBO Max, which will show the first season once the streaming service launches in the U.S. in spring 2020. Warner Bros. International Television Distribution sells the show internationally. Starzplay also announced earlier this week that it has acquired Spanish erotic thriller Instinto and Nordic Noir thriller Sanctuary. Separately, Starzplay will air Starz original drama The Rook in the UK. Although some streaming sites offer this for purchase per episode.
