Doom Patrol - The Final Season Review

 

Doom Patrol is a streaming TV series, developed by Jeremy Carver for Max. It's produced by Warner Bros. Television, Berlanti Productions, Jeremy Carver Productions, and DC Entertainment and distributed by Warner Bros. Television Distribution. This was the fourth and final season, that consist of twelve episodes. Which brings the show's total episodes to forty-six.

The story is after the events of the last season, the Doom Patrol have been taking more active roles as superheroes. During one trip, they travel to a post-apocalyptic future. Now, the team must find a way to prevent whatever it was that caused the apocalypse, while at the same time stop an immortal being named, Immortus.

• Negatives

I've got nothing, just scroll to the next part.

• Mix

One of three mix bags come in the form of out villain, Immortus. I'll admit, there was a lot of times when this character was being very entertaining. But when they're not being a goof, Immortus can be pretty generic.

Then there's the story. While we yet again get good character work here and there, which in return some characters are given something to do this time around when compared to last season, there were times when things were just getting repetitive. I swear we heard Rita cry about not being the team's leader in more than just one episode. Then there's the storyline with the villains. The apocalyptic story and the Immortus story were not very balanced. Matter of fact, the apocalyptic story got pushed way to the back. So much so I almost forgot about it. Which is odd, considering the apocalyptic storyline was the opening and peaked many people's interests.

Now I'm probably cheating by breaking apart the ending from the story portion, but bare with me. Overall, the big grand finale is just okay. Rita, Laura, and Cliff got some good send-offs, Jane's ending started out pretty well, but then she starts a relationship with one of the newer characters at basically the last minute. Cyborg's ending while fine, we knew it was gonna happen because the previous episode showed us, and Larry's ending was just confusing.

• Positives

The only thing I'll praise is the same exact praise I gave for the third season. That being our cast doing a fantastic job. Which it's really surprising considering for better or worse, this cast was truly spectacular, and I wish for nothing but the best for them, now that the show is over.

This season wasn't really the big finish I was hoping for. But at least there was some entertainment value in it, just wish it was much stronger. Oh well, regardless, this show was a roller coaster ride. A very, very, very bizarre roller coaster ride.

My final rating is, Okay.

So that's gonna do it. Come back on Saturday, Nov 18th, for my review of Eli Roth's newest horror movie, Thanksgiving. In case I can't review that, then come back on Monday, Nov 20th, for my Cinematic Disasters review of, Titanic: The Legend Goes On. Until then, enjoy the rest of your day.
