Get a Grip of Your Inner Demons Today
With the Release of the Hit Series on Blu-ray™ & DVD

I was so excited when I first heard about the new DOOM PATROL series, as I love movies and TV shows that feature the underdogs who become heroes. And, when you put together my love for rooting for the underdog and DC UNIVERSE, you know you are in for a real treat.  This series is available through DC Universe, and a must see for fans of DC.  

Usually with a new series, it takes a while to get fans on board with the show. But, my family was hooked with the very first episode.  From then on, we couldn't wait to watch the remaining 14 episodes that make up the first season.  And, as the show went on, we were loving it more and more. We are not alone in loving this series, as so many people have been talking about it online, and it has received a 95% fresh rating and scored an 8 out of 10 on RottenTomatoes.com.  If you missed the first season of this popular DC original series, you are in luck, as you can catch up now by picking up the new DOOM PATROL: The Complete First Season, available today on Blu-Ray and DVD.  

In addition to all 15 full-length episodes, this new release also contains a laugh out loud gag reel, as well as deleted scenes that are not to be missed.  Even though we had already watched all the episodes when they aired on DC Universe, that didn't stop my family to binge watch all 15 episodes this past weekend.  We had so much fun reliving some of our favorite moments from this original live-action series, available from the DC Universe digital subscription service.

If you are looking to get hooked on a new show and love DC Universe, then you have to pick up Doom Patrol: The Complete First Season on Blu-Ray and DVD, and catch up, so you are ready to continue to the journey of this live-action series featuring the DC underdog superheroes who are making a name for themselves, while fighting for world that doesn't want them around.
