Doom Patrol
All good things are doomed.
Created by Jeremy Carver
On DC Universe, HBO Max
A darkly surreal superhero ensemble built on trauma and disfigurement, where misfits find belonging and purpose despite their scars.
The Doom Patrol’s members each suffered horrible accidents that gave them superhuman abilities — but also left them scarred and disfigured. Traumatized and downtrodden, the team found purpose through The Chief, who brought them together to investigate the weirdest phenomena in existence — and to protect Earth from what they find.
