Michelle Gomez: Meet Doom Patrol Season 3’s Madame Rouge

Michelle Gomez is one of our generation’s best character actors. She’s been blessing genre fans with incredible performances like Missy in Doctor Who, Madame Satan in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and most recently as the dynamic and dangerous Miranda in The Flight Attendant. So the announcement that she’d be joining HBO Max’s groundbreaking superhero series Doom Patrol was a match made in heaven. Gomez will be playing Madame Rouge, a sometime ally, sometime antagonist of the motley crew. To celebrate her arrival, we spoke to Gomez about her new role, her penchant for playing complex women, and the grotesque hilarity…

Doom Patrol Season 3 Confirmed

Look. I get it. The world is absolutely terrible right now. Hell, depending on where you are, it might even literally be on fire. But that just means we have to take the good news wherever we can find it, right? So let’s take a little good news. Doom Patrol Season 3 is happening. The renewal was officially confirmed minutes before the Doom Patrol panel at the second day of DC FanDome was supposed to go live. Of course, as with anything involving this crew of misfit heroes, there is something slightly bittersweet about the announcement. Doom Patrol season 3…

Doom Patrol Season 2 Episode 9 Review: Wax Patrol

This Doom Patrol review contains spoilers. Doom Patrol Season 2 Episode 9 “Let the past die. Kill it if you have to. It’s the only way to become who you were meant to be.” Kylo Ren’s quote in The Last Jedi could just as easily apply to the Doom Patrol season 2 finale, “Wax Patrol,” as the team not only confronts toxic imaginary friends from their childhoods, but Jane uncovers Miranda’s own buried past – and Dorothy is forced to leave her life behind as Niles’ innocent little girl.  Still, despite being a good episode, “Wax Patrol” feels more like…

Doom Patrol Season 2 Episode 8 Review: Dad Patrol

This Doom Patrol review contains spoilers. Doom Patrol Season 2 Episode 8 With the penultimate episode of the season, the newest Doom Patrol installment sets the table for at least two major conflicts that almost guarantee a cliffhanger next week. However, despite that potentially frustrating possibility, “Dad Patrol” once again features excellent character development, with Abigail Shapiro the standout performance this episode as Dorothy. The episode opens by flashing back to Jane/Kay’s childhood where her abusive father would force her into the well to spend the night. It is a dark beginning to the story, with Kay’s trauma at being…

No, PAW Patrol Isn’t Canceled Despite White House Lies

The beloved, long-running Nickelodeon show PAW Patrol has not been shut down as part of a wave of recent cancellations of TV series featuring police officers. White House press mouthpiece and professional prevaricator Kayleigh McEnany — who never met a lie she didn’t want to escape her lips — claimed that PAW Patrol was canceled along with shows like Cops and Live PD in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd and the months of protests that followed. During a Friday press briefing, McEnany blurted out that her boss is “appalled by cancel culture, and cancel culture specifically as…

Doom Patrol Season 2 Episode 7 Review: Dumb Patrol

This Doom Patrol review contains spoilers. Doom Patrol Season 2 Episode 7 As its title suggests, Doom Patrol gets pretty dumb this week when the manor experiences an infestation of microscopic beings that feed off of bad ideas, but which reveals Miranda to be an effective primary. Meanwhile, Cliff rockets back to Earth, and vows endlessly to kill the Chief, who is seeking answers in the Yukon, and Rita decides to shadow the Cloverton beekeeper for her community theater role. And once again, Doom Patrol hits us with a silly episode that still manages to push character development forward –…

Doom Patrol Season 2: Dorothy Spinner is Forever Young

The following contains spoilers for Doom Patrol season 2. Coming into the sophomore season of a critically lauded show like Doom Patrol is no easy feat, yet newcomer Abigail Shapiro is currently winning rave reviews for her portrayal of Dorothy Spinner. The daughter of the crew’s leader, Niles Caulder a.k.a. The Chief, Dorothy is arguably the most powerful member of the strange superhero team as well as being an immortal stuck in the body of an 11-year-old girl. It’s an infinitely challenging role, which was exactly what drew the young actor to it. “She has this incredibly complex mind and…

Doom Patrol Season 2 Episode 5 Review: Finger Patrol

This Doom Patrol review contains spoilers. Doom Patrol Season 2 Episode 5 Well, that escalated quickly. After what seems like a fairly low-key episode where Doom Patrol lulls viewers into a false sense of security, all hell breaks out, and there’s no going back now. A stark shift from the party atmosphere of last week, “Finger Patrol” delivers betrayal, murder, and a severed finger. Oh, and a ‘70s-inspired opening credits for a show starring our robot cops. The episode feels like a little bit of clean up after the Danny party, and at first it seems as if our characters…

Doom Patrol Season 2 Episode 4 Review: Sex Patrol

This Doom Patrol review contains spoilers. Doom Patrol Season 2 Episode 4 The theme of families is a constant one in Doom Patrol, but this week the show leans heavily into the notion that our loved ones, especially parents, are the reason we’re all so screwed up. In a 1960s flashback, we see Danny The Street (and not yet a brick) and Niles trying to protect Dorothy by keeping her separated from the world. But they effectively treat her like a prisoner, a choice that is certain to haunt them as Candlemaker appears to be growing in strength. Meanwhile, Rita’s…

PAW Patrol: Ultimate Rescue

Recommended The Show:Lately I've been using Paw Patrol the same way I had (and sorta still) use the Peppa Pig films for my son, albeit in a different way lately. In the past I'd been using them as a means of occupation while his meals for the day are made, now they are tied in to how he goes to bed the previous night. We're in sleep independence now, and if he does not stay in his bed or room, no Paw Patrol the next morning. We're not at a live or die without it point yet, but we could…
