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, we're only a few episodes in -- I'm definitely hoping the Brain and M. Malle show up eventually.

Well we at least saw a Brain case sitting in Mento's lab in the "Doom Patrol Patrol" episode.

Have you seen the most recent one yet? Andrew and I have suspicions about who Mr. Nobody really means when he asks where “the girl” is.

Lacking actual access to full episodes I'm keeping track via youTube clips (have to be quick before they get DMCA'ed!) but have seen some of that one. Can't think of who she would be other than the cavewoman in that episode whom I'm guessing is a version of the character Dorothy from the Grant Morrison comics - although I don't know enough of her background to be sure.

The cavewoman seems both similar to and different from Dorothy— given that she and Calder were together for several years, though, Andrew and I wondered if they had a daughter who hasn’t been shown yet, and she’s Dorothy (given that both of them seem to age very slowly, a child of theirs might have taken a century to reach adolescence.)
