If you're not one of the very few people subscribing to DC Comics' streaming service DC Universe and watching their original series Doom Patrol, then you missed Matt Bomer take on

Doom Patrol is SOOOOO GOOD.

They balance action and comedic moments and emotional character beats SO WELL. They're doing a really good job of giving all the members of the ensemble their due and managed to have solid episodic stories while also keeping a serialized thread throughout.

It's such a fun show.

And yeah, Matt Bomer covering "People Like Us" was def a highlight of the last episode.

(though lol sometimes the show tries a bit too hard. Like "the street is gender queer" lmao. Ok.... or maybe a street shouldn't/wouldn't be presumed to have a gender in the first place, sentient or not...)

lol tbf that's faithful to the source material. I'm not caught up with the show cuz I'm a flop, but in the comics Danny is a sentient street who ID's as gay and likes to cross-dress by putting pink, frilly decorations over gun stores and sporting goods stores etc.

Best show right now. Donkey patrol! Admiral whiskers!

The best part of last week’s was the ending imo. “Aw come on I wasn’t that bad!” Hehe and also the beat down Darren Jones got.

Seriously I love this show. I signed up for DCU just to support it.

Btw Danny is a character from the comics. I mean they didn’t dream them up for the show.

Danny Street forever!

whatever happened to that film he did that was produced by mark ruffalo?

Iirc, mr announced a social media hiatus right before the film came out/premiered at LAFF

Very good pr move imo

Iconic. I was tearing up by the end, the whole sequence ( the whole episode!) was brilliant and very emotional ❤❤❤

Doom Patrol imo is not only one of the best comic book shows ever made but also really good television in general, I highly recommend it :D

[nougatt]

Yes! Totally agree. This show is so fucking emotional at times.

Bomer voices the character of Negative Man in the show

Voices? So that's not him under the mask usually?

[fauxkaren]

Nope.

He's on screen for flashback scenes (or the one like the one in the post), but when the character is in bandages, it's played by someone else.

Same goes for Brandon Fraser as Robotman.

The big names are too good to show up to set just to be covered up by costuming, I guess. lol.

[peddlestools]

Maybe that but at least with Brendan fraser’s character they might have wanted him to be bigger so they cast someone to better fit the robot costume??? Altho they could have easily made one for Brendan i guess

Idk what bomer’s excuse is tho

Tbh those costumes are probably really uncomfortable. Hope the stand-ins are well compensated b/c they bring the characters alive

Bomer was filming the sinner at the same time

I like it. There is a lot of focus on the characters versus action, but it does feel a little slow at times. I actually like all of the characters even with all of their flaws, my favorite would have to be Rita and Cyborg/Cliff being my least favorites. Jane is interesting, but some of her personalities just seem dumb or useless (Pip).
