I picked up a copy of Doom Patrol season 1 for a tenner so I’m watching that at the moment. I’m three episodes in and I’m scratching my head wondering why it got such good reviews. Wacky, zany and incredibly funny, they said. Hmm. Maybe I’ve lost my sense of humour but I find it a bit lame. It’s the only DC series I’ve seen where everybody seems to be effing and blinding all the time.
Imagine a crossover with (say) The Flash
Flash: Oh, gosh, darn it, whatever will I do about this evil speedster from another reality…
Robot Man: Oh, for f*** sake, just kick his motherf****ing ass you pink leotarded f***ing p****!
It seems to me that profanity is being used as a crutch to cover up a number of problems and the main problem appears to be the scriptwriters trying too hard. Maybe that’s why it feels so forced.
