Default Doom Patrol is simply awesome

I've been watching this show for a couple of weeks now and I really can't help but want to shower it with praise.

- Mr Nobody, played by the actor who played the pilot dude in Firefly, is a great antagonist. His one-liners are superb and worth watching the series alone. He also breaks the fourth wall at every opportunity and it's glorious.
- The main group of characters is quirky, quippy and generally just fun. I'd personally never heard of any of these comic book characters besides Cyborg before, but pretty much everyone has grown on me real quick. Crazy Jane, Rita, and Cliff are highly entertaining, and Cyborg has some nice one-liners too.
- The episode concepts and worldbuilding are pretty out-there too. And the reactions to the absurdity are just as fun as the absurdity itself. There's an episode that parodies 90s chick flick romcoms, an episode where the cast goes inside of a goat, an antagonist who eats peoples' beardhairs to become conscient of their entire lifetimes... and that's me holding back on spoiling the crazier stuff.

Bear with the first episode or so, it's not the best in the world outside of Mr Nobody's lines. I really enjoy the script, if you haven't noticed.

Highly recommend checking this show out.

P.S. For the record, although this is supposed to be a spinoff of DC's Titans, it's been confirmed to exist 100% in its own continuity and any connection between the series has been retconned as never happening. So don't worry about that.
