Doom Patrol

Doom Patrol (2019) 

During the first few episodes I told myself that this might be the most likeable “superhero” group from Detective Comics. I’ve put superheroes in quotation marks on purpose because it seemed to me as if they were rather a bunch of idiots who have no idea what to do with their newly acquired abilities. The best thing about it was Brendan Fraser, who I really liked seeing after such a long time and I grew fond of him immediately. And that happened despite his character being portrayed as a rather strange in the beginning. That is not to say the others weren’t good; they were, and they made a pretty good bunch who were tearing each other into bits with their lines. However, over time their demons started to show, probably to create the reason to watch the first season to the end. But due to this, the series started to fall into mediocrity. There weren’t that many good ideas appearing anymore, the enemy, more often than not, wasn’t really there, and the whole thing was very incoherent. For a while, I felt that the screenwriters thought that they could do whatever they wanted with the DC Patrol teams’ world, and so they did. Sometimes it was such a crazy screenwriting trip as if the whole world had no limits at all and anything could happen there. (05/07/2019)
