So, I was gonna give this show a pass because, even though I liked their appearance in that episode of Titans, the gang didn't actually do much for me, then, and I really didn't want to watch yet another superhero show (I watch too many of those, already!)...
... But then I noticed Brendan Fraser and Timothy Dalton were in this and that piqued my curiosity. Oh boy, am I glad I ended up watching this! Titans is darker, but Doom Patrol is funnier, Robotman cracks me up (excellent casting choice on that one)! Also, maybe it's because of Penny Dreadful, but I really enjoy Timothy Dalton as Charles Xavier, huh, I mean, as Chief, being in charge of the whole gang (again, excellent casting choice). I loved the narration, I hope they'll keep that (though after the villain having been introduced, I guess they'll drop it).
I was definitely pleasantly surprised, I would never guess they'd manage to keep up with the same quality level of Titans, and I'm now eager to watch one hour of this every week! DC may not be fairing that well on the big screen (well, not according to me, anyway), but they sure are nailing it on the smaller one. I suspect we're gonna have a lot of fun with this bunch of freaks!
