The Televerse #474- Spotlight on Doom Patrol Season 1

It’s a particularly strange 2020 day, but we’re powering through with the podcast as usual because this being 2020, who knows what’s right around the corner. We kick things off with our week in TV, starting with the premiere of The Amber Ruffin Show, a sobering Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, and sporty Full Frontal with Samantha Bee. Then we talk about the TV side of the first presidential debate, check in briefly with DuckTales, and round out the week with a closer look at the premiere of The Great British Bake Off. Afterward, we head to the spotlight section and dive in with the first season of Doom Patrol, now available streaming on HBO Max. Take a listen, then reach out with your thoughts on this week’s TV, Doom Patrol, and your own Legends of Tomorrow and Doom Patrol pairings.
