I like that stuff kind of happens to them and oftentimes the Doom Patrol isn't even involved in solving anything. Like I don't remember a single thing Cyborg or Traynor contributed to the outcome of the Danny the Street story, but it gave a ton of character development. In fact, I think that's one of the reasons I like this better than Titans (despite loving the Titans characters more), there's way more character development and personality because of the somewhat meandering story.

Cyborg and Traynor just being there and giving that Agent a reason to stay and fight was huge and infectious in terms of the other folks there.

A shame not many people are talking about this show. I thought Ep 8 was my favorite and then they adapted the Underground story from the comics when exploring Jane’s personalities and it was just amazing television. I almost don’t care about the series arc with trying to find the Chief. Not when episodes 8 and 9 are this good!

They just announced they’ll have a DC streaming app for Xbox owners. Very strange they can’t seem to do this for PS4 owners at the same time. Are they just hiring 2 people in a basement to do all their technical work??

The team is evolving by the hour with Niles gone. I guess the next task after finding him is asking him why he held them back. Seeing the underground and how they did it was wild.

I started this tonight, really well done even with obvious budget constraints from time to time, you'd never really know it from how well most of it is crafted.

I just caught up using the 80 cent preview months I got. So far I love everything about this series, it’s my favorite DC show.
I think my cheap month will be over before the season ends, so I’ll probably subscribe for another month to finish it out.

I would not watch that last episode while eating if you can help it.

Mr Nobody is my favorite character, I don't know if I'll like it as much if he's not at least narrating every episode.

I'm going to binge the shit out of this when it's done. Exactly what free trials are made for.

Don't bother if you don't like or don't have the patience for in depth character development that spans most of the season. I'm serious. There is very little "Hulk Smash!!".
It seems all the people i see who gave up on this show just wanted "Hulk Smash!!!"....
