Goddamn this kicked ass. Wow! Brendan Frasier with the comeback!! I absolutely love his character in this. I really like all of the characters. Show feels really unique imo. Can't wait for ep 2.

Nope, the Teen Titans jubilant take on Cyborg is great, but it is absolutely reasonable to take a Frankenstein's monster approach ala Young Justice.
Thanks,
Even with Titans and Young Justice I didn't subscribe but that first episode was so good I immediately wanted to throw my money at DC.
Subscribed yesterday! Watching the 2nd ep now and loving it!! The Cyborg introduction scene fucking ruled. Had some doubts about his character when I saw the trailer but I'm really liking him so far
Super excited to watch this tonight. The pilot was so good, I immediately went back and reread all of Morrison's Doom Patrol run. While there's no way that most of what Morrison did ends up in the show, I still can't wait to see what does get adapted. My favorite super group of all time and one that I never expected to see adapted at all.
Yeah even dislike him in Young Justice so far.
old comics and the original animated series are all that seemingly know how to use him.
I loved both episodes. It's definitely going places with the 'weird' factor. Can't wait to see how they tackle the underground.
Another good episode, but Cyborg looks a little bit cheap on the visuals. At least his cyborg eye should have some movement. And his body should be bigger.
What do you even get with DCU?, I hate that everything is so fractured up. I lost count of how many streaming services I'm paying for at the moment.
Honestly, I loved that version of Jonn. He was basically a look at Jonn after the silver age where he basically became comfortable with his lot in life and enjoyed being on earth.
You get Titans
Young Justice
Doom Patrol
You get a host of DC Animated movies and older TV shows (let's say pre-2001) and a rotation of the Batman/Superman movies
Then thousands of comics, which actually means something now
It's interesting to see how Negative Man is an autonomous being in this show, like it has its own separate sentience. I remember in the comics he had pretty good control of Negative Man from the start and it wasn't treated as a separate entity but as if Larry was in an astral-like form. (the main shtick was that he'd die if he didn't return to his body in 60 seconds) Gotta say I love the new twist on that, definitely makes it more interesting. Cyborg was pretty cool as well! Looking forward to seeing more of him. Great episode.
Can I just say that the trailer with Cliff yelling 'HOLY-' 3 times was more funny than what we got in this episode?
Still Mr. Nobody answering to Caulder about who he was talking to gave me a good chuckle.
Hey I'm liking Cyborg! Neat~
Cliff chasing the donkey was hilarious. Heck Robotman going hysterical over every crazy thing is amusing.
Really this episode was very good and I really enjoyed it. Cliff/Robotman being a brain in a life support mechanical body is well portrayed here.
If anything, Larry likely NEVER wanted to interact or understand the Negative Entity within him all these decades. This episode shows him for the first time wanting to settle things with it.
Speaking of which, Larry's flights being his way of escaping his life was a very good touch.

They have been a lot braver than I expected them to be. I enjoyed the second episode. Cyborg is a dud, but Johns loves him, so he's in everything, and we just have to live with it. Everyone else is pretty good. I thought April Bowlby and Matt Bomer were both exceptional in this episode. I was both intrigued and happy to hear them mention the Ant Farm. I also enjoyed that they're going to give us a dose of Nobody and then move on. He works best in short doses of "wtf". Like Q, an episode every once in awhile is just right.
I love this show so much that I started reading all the Doom Patrol comics which are just as good as the show. The only thing I dislike is how cheap Cyborg looks like someone else said here but my god this show is so entertaining. I didn't expect to love it more than Titans. This team feels more like a team than the Titans right now which is weird to say but my god Titans is a good show and Doom Patrol is already great.
I think my only pet peeve with DC Universe is that we have to wait weekly to get the episodes. I wish they'd give em to us all at once but hey 15,16 weeks of Doom Patrol sounds great to me. I'm also excited for the Swamp Thing show more than anything else right now.

Good lord! This could quite possibly be the greatest comic to telly translation I've ever witnessed. It hits the nail on the head perfectly. DC streaming hit it out of our dimension with this one.
How in the hell is his show so good? That's Bowie song at the end gave me chills.
After this and Titans bring me all of the release schedule.

Im so sorry Gotham but Doom Patrol is taking your throne currently.
This show is so darn good I just can't believe it.
It has the production quality of Gotham(and openness to goof/weirdness), world building of the CW and Netflix shows and just general quality all around.
Cyborg is amazing and looks good on a tv budget, literally only thing i'd change on a better budget is to have the eye move.
Honestly my tune has changed on this and Young Justice airing weekly,
after Umbrella Academy i'd much rather savor the enjoyment of this every week and it slowly lead us into Swamp Thing and Young Justice then Stargirl then around again.
Man why did Titans production quality look so bad compared to this when that was the DCU service pusher.
(I ending up liking the show but jeez the editing, lighting, etc looked lower than CW tier)
Love the BobaTalks videos didn't even notice the Titans' stinger reference

Settings and such are better and costumes infinitely better than CW but the editing, lighting and that awful filter make for a pretty cheap and ugly looking show.
(just look how great the Robin suit looked at SDCC vs the show)
and for lighting & filter you could possibly say "well the show needs to be dark and such to set the mood" but Gotham does it amazingly well without looking so bad.
