'Doom Patrol' Ep 2 review: From flatulent donkeys to sentient cockroaches, the DC show screams uniqueness!

The DC superhero show has just released its second episode, and its strangeness had us hooked at hello

What a ride! 'Doom Patrol' first came out amidst a flurry of mixed emotions as many viewers hadn't any idea who this rag-tag band of contemporary heroes were.

The DC series from showrunner Jeremy Carver follows a team of uniquely quirky and downright odd superheroes, who each have suffered horrible accidents that’s given them specific abilities, but left them a shell of their former selves, as they work together to find a common purpose while investigating weird phenomena.

After bringing together Robotman (Brendan Fraser), Negative Man (Matt Bomer), Elasti-Woman (April Bowlby), and Crazy Jane (Diane Guerrero), mad scientist Niles Caulder, aka The Chief (Timothy Dalton), mysteriously disappears; but Cyborg (Joivan Wade) presents them with a mission that will force them to face their own fears, if they are to succeed.
