I also felt foolish for being skeptical about Netflix shoving this show in my face. It looked like one that was right up my alley but I was afraid it was going to be cringe or just handled poorly. So I watched The Sandman and absolutely loved that and the universe it was set it and that gave me the push I needed to watch Dead Boy Detectives. It is now currently in my top 5 shows of all time.
Isn't it funny how that works out??
Dead Boy Detectives was originally going to be a spin-off of Doom Patrol but then the stuff happened with hbo and the show got canceled before it was made. There is a backdoor pilot episode in Doom Patrol where Edwin, Charles and Crystal are played by different actors.
Same people in charge did go and made it a spin-off of Sandman instead but honestly it still feels very Doom Patrol.
I haven't seen Doom Patrol but since I have seen The Sandman, I'm kinda glad it ended up on netflix so they can do cameos. Stinks for those original actors though, since they show ended up getting made but they didn't get to continue in the roles.
@@cinekizzle Doom Patrol is a crazier version of Dead Boys Detectives.
Kinda hope they bring doom patrol at some point in the show(doesnt have to be the same thing but some of the characters)
One of my favorite things they did with DBD in Doom Patrol is Edwin's bond with Negative Man who was a gay closeted men in the 60's with a family before he "died".
the main cast in doom patrol all became immortal in some way usually resulted in getting the powers they have in the show. all the characters are kinda stuck in their own hell(metaphorically). The show is basically about this terrible people trying to become better. Part of Negative Man is trying to accept himself very similar to Edwin here.
Oh wow, I think I'll have to check it out then! That sounds like a show I'd enjoy watching
That is a GREAT way of putting it. It does seem like Doom Patrol and it doesn’t seem like The Sandman at all, other than having a couple characters from The Endless. Even the way the shot DBD, seems like Doom Patrol. It’s not even close to how The Sandman was filmed.
@@arturobasulto424 i think its because it has a lot of people that worked on Doom Patrol behind it.
Ooh this looks super good! Ima have to watch for sure, thanks for putting me on lol
Hope you like it!
This looks fun!
You're gonna have a long list of shows to catch up on once you get a streaming service or two
Can be charming, can be predatory. Sounds about right for a cat.
Ahahaa true
4:07 I think sometimes people on tumblr and just humans in general, forget that characters can be complicated and it's ok to not automatically know how to feel about them. In fact, media that spoon feeds you easy, boxed and check marked, digestible emotions are kind of boring in my opinion.
That’s cool you liked the show. I was highly disappointed. I was excited for this show because of its connections to The Sandman and being in The Sandman Universe. But the depictions of death and of Death of the Endless were very out of universe. Death of the Endless comes for everyone, good or bad and in DBD, it’s clear that other things come for people who are bad once they figured out their mysteries. I watched your video to find any connections I missed from The Sandman in DBD but you really only mentioned Death of the Endless. But the death of Edwin takes place in 1916, the same year as when Dream gets captured. Also, Despair of the Endless is in the show also. Honestly, only the episode when they went into Hell was the show really any good. But it was once again a huge inconsistency with The Sandman because Dream goes into Hell and it’s clearly very different. I’m sure there will be some explanation somewhere about these inconsistencies but it’s missed in this show. Also, the Department of Lost and Found is seriously giving me TVA vibes. I read the original graphic novel of The Sandman and the show is very close to it. I know DBD is from the comics also but I am not sure if DoLaF is, it seems silly that Death of the Endless would need these entities help. Maybe I am just not the target demographic for this show as it seemed very CW.
Yeah sorry, it wasn't meant to be a deep dive, just a quick recommend video so I didn't go too in depth or mention Despair since they show up later in the season.
Sorry you didn't like it! I haven't read the comics involving the sandman or the dead boy detectives so I don't have much to base it on comparison wise.
I knew the Lost and Found Department felt familiar and you're right, from what I remember of Loki it felt kind of like that. Also kinda like in the Commission in Umbrella Academy I think.
