Doom Patrol Doom Patrol TV Show Greenlit

Brendan Fraser certainly has gotten bigger.
You know, I knew I recognised that face, and I recognised the name too. It's only just now that I've put the face and name together; Rick O'Connell from the Mummy films (I loved those films when they first came about). You're right in any case, the guy certainly has let himself go.. :eek:
 
Extremely impressed, loved it.

I need to check out Titans now.
 
I feel like I'm going to be the Debbie Downer here, but I just wasn't impressed with this. Actually I was pretty let down after seeing so many happy posts about it. I felt like it was trying so hard to be gritty and dark and that wasn't needed. We obviously get that these people are coming from a dark place, hence the name, but it went way overboard showing us just how "racy" it could be. I could have done without the constant foul language or sex scenes with the topless actress. I just don't think the show needs that to be relevant. I think the introduction episode of Titans that featured the Doom Patrol was just fine and this follow up really cranked the show to somewhere it didn't really need to go. I felt like they did stuff just because they don't have to sensor things and it was somewhat distracting to me.

All that said, I will continue to watch because I think this has potential and premieres are always tricky because you're setting up a whole series and trying so hard to engage people to come back. I thought the cast was solid and I like the idea of this series, I just don't need it to be so "in your face" with it's dark side.

 
This show is so good!! If this is the quality we are going to be getting from DCU shows in the future, then damn the future truly is bright! This show has made me a Doom Patrol fan, now it's time to binge the comics!

Grant Morrison’s run. Buy the Omnibus

Thanks! Will definitely check that run out.

Funny thing is, I've heard of the Doom Patrol but never got the chance to check it out. I honestly only checked this show out for Diane Guerrero and Matt Bomer but now I'm in love with the team/concept!
 
Conceptually, this felt a lot stronger than Titans.
 
Always felt Doom Patrol was an obscure group from DC but due to the Titans episode, the YJ episode "Nightmare Monkeys", and this pilot episode.... I am really getting attached to these characters.

I agree with this. I wasn't a fan of Titans when it 1st started out but after a few episodes It was an alright series even though I didn't like how they ended the season. When it comes to this 1st Doom Patrol eisode I thought it delivered everything I wanted from it It had the backstory to 3 of the main characters I hope we get some back story from CrazyJane soon and it really wanted me wanting more unlke the Titans Pilot did.
 
I hope they include Beast Boy in some episodes down the line.

as impressive her Blob Form is i hope we see Rita Size Shaping in the Show too
I want them to show her ability to increase /decrease (back to normal human) her size as in older DP comics. Just showing her in blob form is wrong.
 
Really enjoyed the episode. I kinda wish they would back off on some of the vulgarity of the content. (I will say I haven't read any Doom Patrol comics, so if they're like this, then my bad.) That sex scene in the beginning was a bit awkward. But I may be in the minority on that. Still, this was a great pilot and will continue to watch. I think its started off a bit stronger than Titans for me.

The vulgarity and nudity is inherent in the comic. More so from the 80’s till today. I recommend Grant Morrison’s run.
 
Can they just not with Cyborg? They are pushing him HARD. If they put this much effort into other DC characters....just give us a Cyborg movie and stop pushing him into everything.
Man I feel you..... They know he's a boring character...… But they keep putting him in everything!
Young Justice, Justice League New 52, Teen Titans Go!, Zack Snyder Justice League, and now Doom Patrol???

And he was never a member of that team!

DC is doing everything it can to make sure that I cant sit down with my young son and share in the heroes of my childhood , with him. The F bombs,,,,the S bombs...….. the gratuitous sex...… why?? Take those out and it's still a great story

Did you not see Aquaman and Wonder Woman? And a movie is coming out that shares your username...
 
Funny thing, I had to rewind the "sex scene" as I thought my eyes betrayed me, I could not believe breast were shown in what seems to be a family show ( family in that case = can be seen by kids 10 y/o + )
On a side not : it was so fast, like the one porn frame Tyler Durden inserts in movies in Fight Club.

Yeah, I mean, someone above mentioned the source material was similar to what we're seeing in the show. But I do agree, it could be removed and be enjoyable for all ages. But maybe later down the road they will have live action that's closer to PG/13 instead of TVMA. Perhaps a Batman Beyond live action series or something.

What's the problem with him being in Teen Titans Go?
 
DC has tons of material that are plenty family friendly. There is no F bombs or gratuitous sex on Arrow, the Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl, Black Lightning all DC shows. Young Justice neither. Gotham, Krypyon as well, and Batwoman is on its way. We're talking about two shows folks.

When the kids grow up you can school them on the TV-MA material. Or do what I do: let them see it now and have a discussion about it.
