So, I wasn't actually even aware this was happening until I saw the first teaser:

Though I am a bit dubious about this one, because it seems they already have issues with the show, which could also spell possible issues for the larger DC TV universe:

Swamp Thing (and Man-Thing for that matter) have never translated well into live action, imo.
Cant put my finger on why, but they've just never been given the respect, you know?

As to the streaming aspect, i dont stream, so i cant really comment.

Lets hope they go with Alan Moore.

I remember watching re-runs of the 1990 show as a kid, a few years later, back when the SciFi channel was still kicking around. IIRC, they actually got a couple of seasons out of that one, even though I remember the show not actually being all that good.

SyFy has such low overhead they can keep shows on the air that wouldnt last anywhere else.
Sometimes it leads to these shows getting the chance to get better...sometimes not.

Actually has some promise from that trailer. Will check out the first ep or two for sure.

BruceSkywalker
watched the first episode.. i did like it, but wanted a little more.. this show has promise

Robtard
Agreed, good enough to watch the 2nd ep and see where this goes.

Did enjoy the horror-esque approach they're apparently going with this as well.

So yeah, this show has already been cancelled...

isn't the Whole DC Streaming getting Cancelled?

I read that it would not so much be cancelled, but folded in to Warner's streaming service when they launch next year as they don't want two streaming services. Classic Warner though, ****ing around with DC.

Flyattractor
Yeah. AT&T is a real Bean Counter so I am sure that is hurting things.

Not surprising in the least, considering the show had already hit troubles before the pilot even aired. Pity though. Based on the first episode, I thought there was some potential there.

Darth Thor
Well I guess I wont bother with this then.

i hope they don't charge people who already subscribe to dc service if they do fold it into their new streaming service next year

Good because Doom Patrol needs to continue.

Why...because there might be only 1 episode?

they have said they will show the entire season 1 and then that's it.

Robtard
I'll still watch ep2 later tonight and keep going until it turns to shit or I finished the season/final.

Even the last 3 episodes of Season 1 got the axe..

If it was planned as a limited short series, then id watch, but that clearly wasnt the plan.

BruceSkywalker
watched the second episode.. it was good... shame wb or whoever is canceling this coz its turning out to really good

TheVaultDweller
Kinda bummed this was ended before it even started. I've liked the horror vibe of the first 4 episodes.

Though I have read rumours that they might actually be planning on going the movie route with this character down the line, which might also have had something to do with it getting cancelled so quickly.
