Odd little show with heart
critic-97-41765717 November 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Let's face it. Doom Patrol was a weird little show. But that's what made it so fun to watch. Just didn't take itself seriously.

I hadn't read the comics so I don't know the context and had zero expectations so maybe that's a good thing. I will say this last episode got me very emotional and I didn't expect that, especially considering how light-hearted and non-serious the show had always been. It didn't even bother me how the antagonists' story ended. Didn't matter because that's not what the show was ever really about. It's about a group of screwups who were trying to figure out who they are, trying to find some meaning in their lives, and were struggling deeply in doing so. The show has always been about their own personal struggles and issues, and in the end, they all found some level of peace in their own way.

Doom Patrol has never been a perfect show. Doesn't matter. I had fun watching it and the ending was very moving.

A series that followed its own drummer straight through to the end
cherold1 December 2023
What an odd little finale episode. Basically they wrap up a lot of things in the first part and then the rest is a strange unwinding of the Doom Patrol. Peoples lives go in various directions, some surprising, some not, and there are some very interesting moments.

Was it my favorite episode? Not really. Not much story, intermittent humor. But it was very true to the off-kilter nature of the series. The ending stayed true to the show's strange and unpredictable series, and I am sorry to see it go.

And of course IMDB wants me to say more than this even though I, like Doom Patrol, said everything that needed saying.

Finale Patrol

This show is weird AF. Sometimes it was a spectacle of what strange idea had the writers next. But it was a show with a lot of heart. They gave us the most interesting group of weirdos who were trying to solve the messes they made.

The finale was perfect. Everyone had their finale, and I was crying throughout the whole episode. I feel like this is all it takes to make a great finale. Solve the issue of the season, kinda rushed, but it made sense, and then present a closure. Since this was an ensemble of main characters, they had to present us their end of the journey. And it was so amazing. The final scene is honestly incredible.

Great ending

The ending deserved the ten. The look at their lives as a conclusion. Each character found there peace. The end part with robotman really made you feel something. The seeing of his grandsons future was truly heartbreaking. It was almost like everything went full circle. Even the sad moment when rory becomes a grandfather and tries to make amends. It was the perfect ending for me. I was worried gow it was going to end after the Christmas episode when they flash mobbed an entire episode. Some will say after reading the comics that it was nothing like it. As a show the ending was perfect even if the beginning kind of sucked.

I made it home...
GregTheStopSign9521 April 2024
Although the series itself may have had some fluctuations in quality, this episode made up for a LOT of that for me.

Granted, it's another episode of a whole lot of not much happening, but what does happen is BIG for the characters that we've come to love so much. Everyone gets their closure, most everyone gets their new start in life and the two who don't get a new start DO get their perfect ending. It really is the perfect quirky, off-kilter, adult-mouthed ending to a series the lived, and died, by being exactly that. It wasn't perfect by any stretch, but it was perfectly Doom Patrol.

The final scenes hit me like a truck, though, and I wept the entire time. They really couldn't have POSSIBLY chosen a better way to close out the final episode of the final season of such a brilliantly tilted and foul-mouthed series centred on family and on love.

"It's ok...I made it home."

One of the best shows ever until the last episode aired and failed.
blackzac11 November 2023

What a freaking amazing show! Such talented actors all the way through. Michelle Gomez was brilliant! Honestly, I tell everyone I know about this show. The last episode though was terrible. I read all the doom patrol comics. The doom patrol never just gave up on thier friends no matter what. What about animal mineral vegetable man??? He's a big deal in the comics. We just omitted him in the last episode. MAX definitely made it clear that they were over Doom Patrol and wanted to call it a day and Quit. It's so sad because if you've ever read the comics, just when you thought it was over, it kept on getting better and better. But now after seeing the last episode, I have to tell everyone to not watch the last episode as it's an insult to Doom Patrol. What happened to Danny the Street? We just gave up on it and Dorothy and clearly decided it wasn't worthy of a final farewell. Even though it was a failure and a waste of time episode, the entire Max series excluding that was mind blowingly amazing!

Gone BUTT (Do not excuse the pun) Not Forgotten.

Well I have to say I can see why the show has ended with it having barely any body rating it and no reviews of the last episode.

It's kinda sad that these weird characters and even weirder story lines...even though the last season was less weird apart from the zombie butts.

I remember when the Doom Patrol characters popped up on a episode of Titans, I didn't think they would have their own series and lasted 4 seasons.

It was kinda confusing especially with distractions like a them entering a donkey's butt. But it ended up that they were experiments by The Chef for him to live long enough to see his slow aging Daughter grow up.

Anyway, as no one had left a review for the last episode, I felt they deserved a final farewell mention.

Especially as the DC series all seem to be getting dumped. (Super Girl, Bat Woman, Legends of Tomorrow, Arrow, Flash, Black Lightning, the afore mentioned Titans, Swamp Thing, Star Girl and more.

I wish they would now do a Justice League series with series characters Cyborg from Doom Patrol, Super Girl, Flash, Green Lantern (Diggle), Bat Woman, Stargirl and Black Lightning as the Justice League.

This episode was SO boring and SO depressing
fourthfallen-795142 December 2023
This is the worst ending for this series I could imagine. This entire episode was depressing and boring and it had an absolutely AWFUL end scene that they leave you with. I wish I had never watched this episode and just stopped at the episode before this one. For how exciting and fun the last episode was I can't believe I had to watch this trash. Whoever wrote this episode really had no idea what this show was and has no idea how to not make something dreadful boring. All they did was sit around and cry all episode and the "humor" was awful as well. I would give it a zero if I could. I hope I NEVER have to see another show from this writer again.
