Andrew’s been enjoying Doom Patrol, especially as he’s a fan of the comics, so having seen a few comments on Umbrella Academy, I suggested he check it out as it appears to have a similar superhero-gothic/dysfunctional family theme. He just watched the first episode; I think he likes it.

Well, Doom Patrol is a DC comic that began in the Silver Age, but Andrew’s favourite version of it is the Grant Morrison relaunch that really amped up the weirdness.

I had no idea this had even been adapted for TV. I look forward to the Brotherhood of Dada!

Oh I forgot to mention that the voiceover narrator is Mr. Nobody (voiced by Alan Tudyk). I particularly liked how he opened the second episode by summarizing the story so far, then commanding: “Right, roll the pretentious opening credits”: https://youtu.be/yK5oeV_JYy0
