Pilot

Doom Patrol is off to a great start with eccentric characters imbued with stellar performances. The plot of misfits coming together (reminded me of Guardians of the Galaxy) isn't atypical but the way it is executed - for lack of better words- is absurdly unique. Mr. Nobody narrating the story was a major drawback. Everything else is as deft as it could be.

Why excellent? Coz it's enjoyable. I have doubts since Doom Patrol is a difficult story to adapt into any format of film, but the creative team is bills enough to build a TV series.

My praise went to Alan Tudic, tho his appearance in the pilot is short, but impressible.

I can't wait to see the rest of the season 1.

PS: For those who are not a fan of comic books, Doom Patrol is part of DC's Vertigo publication, so it is weird, non-standard superheroes story, unusual, and unique. So please don't expect supermodel-like heroes in tight costumes. The beauty one is the ugliest, the bravest is the crazy one, the strong one literally can't feel a thing, etc.

It is a different superhero serie. I'm happy with this pilot episode. This episode is more a flashbacks episode but a good introduction to the Doom Patrol universe.

Positive things It made me laugh a lot specially Cliff. It is a very interesting episode when you don't know anything about the Doom Patrol. It has a very very good cliffhanger.

Negative things The first minute is very unclear. I didn't understand the story of the bad guy because it got too fast.

For a serie the visual effects are quite good. The actors make their roles very credible, in all the characters you can see their effort.

In this the pilot episode we get a bit of everything this show titled Doom Patrol, has to offer. Gratuitous sex, T&A, adultery, reckless abandonment, a scientist leader relegated to being in his wheelchair, and a cast of circus misfits who appear to be anti-heroes.

I like the initial characterizations of these super powered misfits brought together by the scientist refrerred to simply as "the Chief" although his character name is Niles Caulder (Timothy Dalton). There is a lot packed into this pilot episode so bear with the series and give it a few more episodes before passing final judgement on it as a series.

Rome was not built in a day, and these monsters from Ohio may take a bit more time to get to know them and more importantly to enjoy this unique series.

Great having a super hero show that's made for adults I don't mind the odd swear word Great visuals Loving the visuals and love Matt Bomer
