Doom Patrol

All good things are doomed.

RELEASED 15 Feb 201939h 26m · 46 episodes★ 7.5 TMDB

The Doom Patrol’s members each suffered horrible accidents that gave them superhuman abilities — but also left them scarred and disfigured. Traumatized and downtrodden, the team found purpose through The Chief, who brought them together to investigate the weirdest phenomena in existence — and to protect Earth from what they find.

Why it matters in DC

The team's powers are inseparable from experiences that have left its members hurt and isolated. That makes finding purpose together central to Doom Patrol's identity, offering a superhero story in which extraordinary abilities do not simply solve the problems of ordinary life.
