Review of Cyborg Patrol

Doom Patrol: Cyborg Patrol (2019)
Season 1, Episode 12
Trapped by a Magnet, Dammit!
13 May 2019
Last week as you may remember, Vic got caught looking at an elbow and was taken to the Ant Farm run by the Bureau of Normalcy. Jane escaped capture by being herself, a Bipolar Individual with Terrible Character Hangups or a B.I.T... you get it. She broke the guy's arm!

Meanwhile Vic's dad Silas comes over to the mansion to let everyone know that Cyborg is in trouble and being held. So they come up with a plan. And Rita is the lynch-pin.

The scenes inside the Ant Farm are reminiscent of BRAZIL, Terry Gilliam's incredible dystopian future with Jonathan Pryce. You'd almost expect to hear strains of the soundtrack coming through. No fresnel screens, though.

There's a reference to a certain Wookie scene which may give you a chuckle. But the most scream-worthy is when Rita makes her appearance! The accompanying dialogue is classic.

There are so many satisfying moments in Cyborg Patrol that it definitely deserves a vote of 11. You know how hard it is to write all that action and dialogue and still fit inside 41 minutes, less titles and credits?!
