Not every show needs to have a musical

[perrycs-49152 · 4/10 · 2 January 2024]

I'm not a fan of musicals however Buffy The Vampire Slayer did a pretty decent one. This one was tolerable but felt too forced and too many voices can't really sing very well and didn't fit. I guess even BTVS had some voices that didn't fit well, but, this Doom Patrol one wasn't as good.

I'm sure some people loved it, but, this one, kinda felt too forced and didn't fit well.

As for the show as a whole.. I have really enjoyed it. It's quite unique, some GREAT characters. A few episodes early on kinda made me question the show, but they fit well enough into the show and were done in a quality way. Overall, a shame it ended. Also, kinda upset I can't buy Season 4 on Bluray. I have the first 3 Seasons on Bluray. I don't do subscription services (streaming). I buy it or I get it some other way if they don't offer it.

So, please offer the bluray. I hate not having a finished collection. I even checked Amazon USA and it's not available.

Overall show - 8/10... this episode 4/10.

I enjoy this show. This episode was a miss.

I agree with the other reviewer. Musical episodes have become a weird gimmick on TV shows, often when a series is coming to an end. I'm sure it's fun for the cast, but it's not usually so fun for the viewer. There are definitely exceptions when it works, but only a small percentage.

This show is very wacky, so I could handle one quick musical number but not a whole episode. It was poorly executed, unnecessary for the plot or character development... clearly meant to be fun and refreshing, but to me it was total cringe.

I literally couldn't stand it after about 15-20 mins and just skipped to the next episode and watched the recap. I clearly missed nothing important.

I recommend you do the same.
