Five Thoughts on Doom Patrol‘s “Possibilities Patrol”

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | Sep 24, 2021 | Television

Thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, the second season of DC’s wonderfully surreal Doom Patrol ended on a very abrupt cliffhanger. The third season premiere, “Possibilities Patrol,” picks up immediately from there, dusts itself off, and begins anew — starting with the Chief’s death. 1. The End is the Beginning Everything about this episode feels like […]

Five Thoughts on Doom Patrol‘s “Wax Patrol”

By Dexter Buschetelli | Aug 7, 2020 | Television

It’s something of a bittersweet week to review Doom Patrol as we end its second season with an uncertain future. The show likely is the only widely-agreed-upon good thing to come out of the DC Universe streaming (and more) app has neither been canceled or renewed. The double-dipping here would also seem to not bode […]

Five Thoughts on Doom Patrol‘s “Dad Patrol”

By Dexter Buschetelli | Jul 31, 2020 | Television

We’re nearing the end of Doom Patrol–hopefully only for now–but “Dad Patrol” continues the slow pace of this season that sees events ramp up towards the end of most of these nine episodes. Last week was a bit of a reprieve from that trudge but once again we have an installment densely packed with plot […]

Five Thoughts on Doom Patrol‘s “Dumb Patrol”

By Dexter Buschetelli | Jul 25, 2020 | Television

This week Doom Patrol has more junk packed in the trunk than a skate punk with mixtapes of funk trying to make a dunk in the hoop like a drunk with gunk in his hair like he thinks he’s a hunk. That is to say, there’s a lot going on in “Dumb Patrol” and we’re […]

Five Thoughts on Doom Patrol‘s “Space Patrol”

By Dexter Buschetelli | Jul 17, 2020 | Television

It’s a bit of a somber and reflective week for Doom Patrol in the aftermath of “Finger Patrol” and its charged final minutes. “Space Patrol” is a heavy episode with both a presentation of consequence an unsettling character dissection. And the laughs that are here are designed to make you uncomfortable. We’re dumping five thoughts […]

Five Thoughts on Doom Patrol‘s “Finger Patrol”

By Dexter Buschetelli | Jul 10, 2020 | Television

Boo-yah, baby! Doom Patrol is something of a mixed bag this week in “Finger Patrol.” That’s not to say it isn’t enjoyable. But the balance between humor and heart–whether that be the warming or the breaking variety–feels like it is suffering from a touch of vertigo. While this week may be shorter on the jokes, […]

Five Thoughts on Doom Patrol‘s “Sex Patrol”

By Dexter Buschetelli | Jul 3, 2020 | Television

From pain to pleasure this week as Doom Patrol is on a “Sex Patrol.” It’s paranormal perverted parasitic poltergeists propagating promiscuously at an impromptu party and I am here for every bit of it. Is the fondue hot? Are the drinks cool? Is it wack or wild when the Freaksome Five host a soiree for […]

Five Thoughts on Doom Patrol‘s “Pain Patrol”

By Dexter Buschetelli | Jun 30, 2020 | Television

It’s all aboard the pain train this as we pinch off another Doom Patrol recap before we resume regular coverage of it. “Pain Patrol” is the final of the three episodes DC and Warner Brothers decided to drop all at once and I would say is the highlight so far. We have such sights to […]

Five Thoughts on Doom Patrol‘s “Tyme Patrol”

By Dexter Buschetelli | Jun 29, 2020 | Television

We’re squeezing in (squeezing out?) an extra couple recaps of Doom Patrol this week due to its release schedule. Does the show’s second season pick up from last week’s installment? Spoiler: yes. It’s still a bit of a mixed bag and I certainly have some criticisms but overall “Tyme Patrol” is an improvement over the […]

Five Thoughts on Doom Patrol‘s “Ezekiel Patrol”

By Dexter Buschetelli | May 28, 2019 | Television

Doom Patrol is finished, for now. While we don’t have any official confirmation of a second season and Warner Bros announcement of its own streaming service leaves the future of DC Universe uncertain, it is almost without question that we will see the return of the world’s strangest heroes. As far as endings go, “Ezekiel […]

Five Thoughts on Doom Patrol‘s “Penultimate Patrol”

By Dexter Buschetelli | May 21, 2019 | Television

Doom Patrol climaxes–in more ways than one–this week as it winds towards the end of its first season. After the rocky start this series had I expected at some point it would dip in quality. Surely, it would have at least one more bad episode. If it’s going to, it will be the Game of […]
