Doom Patrol vs The Umbrella Academy Poll: What Are You Watching?
Is it a coincidence that both Doom Patrol and The Umbrella Academy unleash their teams on the same day (albeit on different streaming platforms)?
It's hard to guess given that Gerard Way, a creator of The Umbrella Academy, notes he was influenced to write the series because of his love for Doom Patrol.
Netflix has The Umbrella Academy, which will make it a lot easier for its mega-number of viewers to watch all in one sitting.
To watch Doom Patrol, you will need to invest in the DC Universe streaming platform and watch each new installment every week.
What the two shows have in common is that they are both unexpected family dramas (this is a good thing!), much the way House on Haunted Hill and Sabrina have redefined the genre.
They share a commonality that none of the characters are actually related, and nobody "chose" to become a hero.
