Doom Patrol is still TV's best superhero show as it kicks off Season 2

Polygon

"In quality, 2019’s Doom Patrol TV series was up there with HBO’s Watchmen," says Graeme McMillan. "Its comic-book parent debuted in 1963 as an uglier, more misanthropic version of Marvel’s X-Men — until Grant Morrison and Richard Case’s acclaimed 1980s run on the series took that idea and ran with it, taking the group of superhero misfits on a series of surreal adventures. The Doom Patrol TV series took that idea and ran even further, creating something that was weirder, more colorful, and far, far more joyously queer than audiences had seen in mass-market superhero TV or movies to date. Unfortunately, it was only available to DC Universe subscribers. But with the second season of the show launching on both DC Universe and the higher-profile HBO Max this week, it’s worth wondering: Can Doom Patrol keep it up for a second year running?"
