re: Doom Patrol on HBO Max

Overall, I liked it. But I wish it would work on a few things.

Most importantly, they need to work on Robotman’s dialogue. By the second season, it’s degraded to him screaming “what the frick?” over and over. I get that he’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer and that his character is (rightly) freaked out pretty easily, but it’s annoying as hell.

I also don’t like how the characters constantly crack on Dorothy. I know where they are going with this. It just makes them all unlikeable. It’s too heavy handed.

More dialogue/character subtlety would be better. I guess that what I’m trying to say. Watching the show can be like getting hit with a brick in the face dialogue-wise.
