0 on Doom Patrol 4x01 & 4x02 Review - No Ifs, Ands, or ButtsWe don't need to say anymore that Doom Patrol is weird, but I don't think that when the heroes unleashed a bunch of feral butts upon the Bureau of Normalcy toward the end of season 1, we'd still be dealing with them three years later. Butt here we are. "Doom Patrol" & "Butt Patrol" The…
