Doom Patrol is a very special series (LEGITIMATELY) that combines absurdity with a lot of pathos. Trauma/PTSD, depression, anxiety - all of these serious issues are central to the series and

I watched the first three (or four?) episodes of Doom Patrol and I like it. I haven’t watched more episodes bc I’m not super crazy about it (or Titans), but it’s fun and I plan to catch up with it eventually. Crazy Jane’s personalities and their powers are kinda lame to me (actually, they're all kinda lame) but I love Diane 🥰

She legit deserves an Emmy/Oscar/ ar least a People's Choice Awards for her acting in DP. She is so fucking good.

is this on netflix?

No, DC Universe (I know, another streaming service)

There aren’t too many new live action shows yet, just Titans (which was okay but not great) and Doom Patrol (which is worth the subscription price alone - it’s honestly my fave show right now. It’s legitimately excellent and award worthy for real).

Buuuuuuut there is a HUUUUUUGE archive of DC’s comics. If you have a tablet, you can read pretty much any DC comic, I think. I looked up Doom Patrol and the Silver Age run (circa early ‘60s) was there as well as the relaunch from the late ‘80s/early ‘90s that featured Grant Morrison’s work (which largely inspired this series) and Gerard Way’s more recent run. So i think the content is more than worth the price as a comic nerd. You get A LOT of reading material included in the price of subscription. An overwhelming amount, in fact. It was hard for me to pick where to start, but I was such a vertigo stan growing up that I’m gonna revisit a lot of my favorites from my teen years.

So it actually took me 4 hours to get through the last episode. Not because i didn’t like it, but it was kind of difficult for me to watch since i was nervous it would trigger me

I'm ready for this to get to international Netflix. I watch more DC on there than Marvel, these days (so you're not going to catch me, Disney!).

Is it going to be on international netflix? Jealous. I was pressed about paying for another streaming service, but I’m actually really happy about the huge archive of comics at my fingertips now. I was a Vertigo stan, so I actually kinda liked DC more than Marvel

I don’t see everything I want to read, but they basically have every Doom Patrol issue ever if you want to dig into the source material (and I do because I really love Grant Morrison). I read the Invisibles, but not DP, and it’s really similar to Doom Patrol in a lot of ways.

I expect to, because up to now all DC is? Wasn't Titans from the streaming service as well?

idt dc has any international licensing/distribution for this show. idk why because it's certainly better than titans
