Heard they did pretty good on the Doom Patrol Episode ....That will be the ONLY thing right now that could get me to sign up for the DC Series at this point.

Wont be able to watch the rest though until its on Netflix.

I'm shocked. I was gonna avoid it cuz I didn't wanna be blinded by the edginess of this show. Maybe I will give it a shot.

The edginess is on top. Like curse words for no reason, and Robin throwing darts in peoples eyes seems kinda unnecessary.

But once you accept the tone, its decent.

Not saying this is Daredevil or even close, just that its turning out to be on the entertaining side.

So without even knowing the context at all I'm gonna say it was deserved. Well done Robin. People need to realize darts aren't to be taken lightly.

i usually wait and burn through but my curiosity got me on this one. glad i started but i wish there were more since i usually watch in chunks

I finally got around to checking some of this out. Watched the first two episodes. Maybe it's because I went in with low expectations, but I thought it was solid. Yeah, it does go a bit overboard sometimes, but I feel like the darker tone actually works with the story so far. At least overall.

And better and better...

Managed to catch up. So yeah episode 5 was all sorts of fun.

Yeah I think the big difference between this darkness/violence of this Robin and the darkness/violence of BvS Batman is its part of the story that this Robin has issues, which is he recognises and is the reason he left Batman. Unlike BvS where him killing people was an after thought that we were just supposed to accept and think its cool.

Plus fro the latest episode its clear they are having fun with the R rating. Using it in all sorts of ways.

Yeah, agree on the contrast between Bruce and Dick. But I was also referring to how the overall tone fits into the developing plot as well, with Rachel and her father, for example.

But yeah, I agree that they are making decent use of the R-rating so far. This show feels more in line with their R-rated animated stuff (which I generally tend to enjoy) rather than anything from the recent live-action movies.

Also, I lol'd at the bit in the latest episode with Kory and the

So did I.

And thats a great example of having fun with the R rating.

They got Jason Todd pretty much perfect.

Thought last episode was the weakest yet. Will be nice to see Dick as Nightwing from here on out though.

A crowbar-worthy performance.

I initially just found him kind of irritating, but that scene with the cops made me out and out dislike him.

Spoiler:
He crippled the one guy who was probably just trying to do his job. And then he uses the most horrible identity politics/collective guilt logic to justify his actions. Corrupt cops in Gotham beat you up? So what? That doesn't give you a license to maim any cop you see. Applying Todd's logic, those cops now have carte blanche to shoot any teens dressed up as superheroes first and ask questions later, based on what Todd did to them.

Exactly!

This series is now a solid 8/10 for me, and if they keep going like they are at the moment it might end up a 9, rivaling DD for my favourite superhero show. Solid casting, solid acting, good directing and great writing. Plus, the action scenes are excellent: Bone-breakingly brutal and bloody.

yeah cringe worthy but that is who Jason todd is isn't he from the comics? an unstable, has a vendetta, chip on the shoulder type? I do not agree with his actions at all just agreeing with dreampanther they got him pretty much perfect

No, not cringe-worthy. Crowbar-worthy. Which is my point. I agree. He's a good enough portrayal that he deserves the same treatment he got in the comics. 😛

right on.

I came in with extremely low expectations, but I have to say that I'm actually enjoying this show. The edginess was cringey at first, but it's grown on me a bit.
