10 Great TV Shows You Didn't Watch In 2019

Although Titans and Swamp Thing (DCUniverse’s other original shows) are relatively well known, Doom Patrol is not. This is not because it’s not a good show, quite the opposite, it is because of how absolutely insane it is. Doom Patrol is almost impossible to describe, but here goes.

While the Justice League are fighting each other in front of the world, tucked in a little corner is the Doom Patrol, a team of Metahumans and Metalhumans who can rarely control their own powers never mind do any good with them. The show follows them from one ridiculous situation to the next, from being swallowed whole by a goat to encountering a sentient street.

Doom Patrol also sees the triumphant return of Brendan Fraser, hardly seen in mainstream media since The Mummy movies. Seen here as Robotman, the once ultra famous NASCAR driver turned brain in a bucket. His performance alone makes this show unmissable.

Unlike Titans and Swamp Thing, Doom Patrol wasn’t available in the UK in 2019, leading to its much lower popularity. Both Amazon and Netflix have seen success with the other two shows so hopefully Doom Patrol will find its audience now that it is available on Starzplay.
