I don't have much regard for DC comics and don't subscribe to its streaming service, but I enjoy its television shows on the CW network. I gambled that some of the reviews I read about this show were enough to justify enough interest and investment in this series...and I was right. If you're into comparisons, this show is the Warner Brothers/DC counterpart to the Fox/Marvel show 'Legion.' Both are off the rails, weird, strange, crazy, trippy...and compelling. Neither is a standard show about metahumans, nor are they identical mirrors of each other. Each is refreshing in its own right, in an apples-and-oranges way. It's hard for shows like this to be successful because of their asymmetry to the more standard, formulaic fare on TV. However, critics and viewing public alike appear to rate this show favorably, and I agree with both. If you're looking for superhero series that dares to be different, this is a good one to watch.

"The Doom Patrol" DC Universe television show is an entertaining and imaginative new series from the DC Universe streaming service. I purchased the series on DVD and I it is a series that is a must watch!!!! The show is derived from the DC comic book of the same name. We are introduced to a team of traumatized superheroes who have come together under the leadership of The Chief. The fifteen episodes in the series are thrilling, dramatic, comedic and thought provoking. Robotman Aka Cliff Steele, Negative Man, Elasti-Girl, Crazy Jane, Cyborg and Rita are characters you come to empathize with as you watch the show. The supervillain of the show, Mr Nobody, is a very original and fascinating character. This is a highly recommended DC Universe show!!!! My wife Rachel and I Love it!!!!
This review is from Doom Patrol: The Complete First Season

When I first saw pictures of the characters it look very cheesy but do not judge a book of it cover because this show in motion has heart and a true underrated gem when I watch it on the dc universe for the first. I love this show and became my favorite live action superhero show all time. I glad they released it on blue-ray so I can watch all the craziness this show has to offer without worry about steaming dc universe. It one of the best early birthday gifts I recieve. If you are a superhero fans that like weird crazy stuff this show is right for you.
