Doom Patrol 2019

It's a good show. I think that, as a whole, this show is essentially unlike any other show, in a good way. Pretty much everything that happens is so odd and weird but it works. Maybe the source material, too, when it was released, was the same way in that it's unlike any other comic or whatever, and perhaps that's still the case.

Everything that happens is compelling, even though you'd think it wouldn't be, because of the nature of it all. Well, as I said, it works. No matter how outrageously weird and odd it is, it works, and also manages to keep getting more outrageously weird and odd. And I imagine there's still so much more that hasn't been explored yet from the source material. Let that sink in.

For me, I don't necessarily like it as much as other people do, and not because I find the things that happen throughout the show disgusting or repulsive, or whatever. I just think I have a much different outlook than a lot of people, in general, or something along those lines. I don't recall ever getting emotional or anything like that with anything that I've watched, not just shows or movies. Anything. I've never been as expressive toward anything as I've seen people be, etc.

It's like I'm so desensitized in an overall sense, I react differently to what I watch than a normal person would. I don't feel much, and when I do, which isn't often, it's mostly just feeling uncomfortable and almost physically recoiling when watching or seeing something that makes me look away or minimize my browser and turn down the volume to zero. And that's always something like a person going on stage or something like that, in that sense, where the reactions of other people trigger me to do that.

That being said, and I apologize for going off-course with that, I enjoy watching this show. But it isn't that memorable to me. But I recommend it to anyone who reads this that hasn't watched the show to give it a shot. If you're not as desensitized as I am, which is highly likely, you'll either like it very much or dislike it very much. Or maybe you'll dislike it from a reaction standpoint but will continue watching it and may even like it when it comes down to it.
