Doom Patrol

While Doom Patrol is definitely a weird show it's also a really fun show. I didn't really know what to expect at first but thought I'd finally give it a chance and watch it and I have to say I liked it more than I thought I would. It's so much funnier than I thought it would be, especially Brendan Fraser, he absolutely steals every scene he's in!

Show's season 1 was brilliant. I was starting to second guest darkseid as Mr. Nobody looked and felt so much more vicious. Then second season came and everything went to the wastebin, but wait, not if Mr. Frazer has anything to say about it. This series has its ups and downs but Brendan Fraser is just funny as hell and cliff without any facial expression is absolutely spot on. That's 100% Brendan Fraser right there and this explains what great fun we have been missing for all these years without any of his big release. I'm sincerely glad that he's back with a bang!

Diane Guerrero is both beautiful and brilliant as Jane. Brendan Fraser surprisingly perfect as robotman. The story is a mess and all over the place, leaving holes the size of boulders and contradictions that are really annoying. Some episodes are crazy, yet entertaining, but silly at the same.

Overall entertaining, somewhat whacky, with some excellent moments.

This rating is for the series as a whole, season 1 starts strong and tells new stories with interesting characters, season 2 keeps the story going but loses momentum and begins to get convoluted, season 3 adds little to the formula, loses the plot, and reuses character arcs that are dry....over all parts of the show are rewatchable but as a whole it has lost its way.

I've enjoyed these characters and stories more than pretty much all other DC universe entertainment. They're weird, relatable, funny, and complex. The story for the first three seasons kept things interesting, but I'm really having trouble following or finding anything interesting in the fourth season. My SO will watch anything and she's just about given up after watching 3 1/2 seasons. I'm invested in wrapping it up, but it's disappointing to see things end in such a lackluster whimper. S4 comes with a musical episode - a telltale sign that a series has run out of ideas. Not sure if this is staying true to the source or they're trying to be deeply satirical but it's all falling flat in the end. Bummer. First three seasons were cool.
