You're right. I fear this show will perish not because of itself, but because it's in the no man's land of streaming services. I'm half hoping DC decides to fold it's streaming service and wait for the overall WB one to happen. Then in the meantime it can license it's original content through a more mainstream service.

DC needs to get out of the bed they have been shitting and laying in, swallow their pride, extend their hand to Netflix, and make that deal happen.

They don't need to. AT&T Warner is starting a streaming service and DC already has a separate one. I am actually wondering what Netflix is gonna do when everyone it licenses movies and shit from has their own service. I mean Netflix Originals are spotty at best, they can't believe they'll actually hang on.

The more they split the streaming market like this the more likely people will revert to piracy.

With the departure of Marvel from Netflix, DC should simply license their material to them. Why bother with the trouble of all the infrastructure needed to support their own streaming service? Sounds pretty dumb to me.

Simple, the same reason Disney/Marvel is building their own. $$$$ from cutting out the "middleman".

Well, Disney has WAY more cash than DC, plus a wide variety of potentially streamable content. DC's stuff is pretty narrow.

I try to sign up for services to give support to the creators, but damn if I was going to sign up for just this show alone. Thats the problem with all the different platforms right now. If a person only likes one thing on the entire platform, like myself, its either boot leg the show or skip it entirely. More has to be brought to the table in these situations. Even as much as I liked Doom Patrol and would rather support them in creating another season. Luckily, they are doing a second season in Feb 2020. I'm sure we'll eventually come full circle, and all the platforms will shrink down to just a few. Netflix likely wont fade, but theyre going to have to give up more and more of the profit sharing.
I just finished watching it, and although its a bit cheesy at times - its definitely good.

I agree with you about if you only want one thing. FOr my wife she wanted the DC streaming service because she recently got on a Batman kick and wanted to watch ALL the animated Batman stuff. Which you can stream through the service. She watched Titans but wasn't impressed, I didn't make it through two episodes of Titans. But then Doom Patrol , we both love it. Not sure what we'll do after that. Maybe we'll get lucky and Swamp Thing will also be good.

Yep pretty sure it's gone. They were supposed to cut the last couple episodes into an ending. If they hadn't of given out their schedule it sounds like they would have cancelled it.
