Hopefully this episode is not a sign of things to come - weirdness for weirdness's. Sake.
Much of the wackiness seems to be there for no other purpose than to push viewers' buttons. And judging by the reviews, that is exactly what it accomplishes.
I was looking forward to this episode based on the summary on my streaming service. The seXmen sounded like an interesting premise for the kind of satire this show normally does so well. To say they were a one-dimensional flop is giving them too much credit. Not quite 'no-dimensional' (they were visible, so they must have had at least one dimension...) but very close.
My fear for Doom Patrol was that it would devolve into the kind of idiocy that this episode showed. There is a fine line separating quality goofiness (for lack of a better term) from schlock. There is really no doubt which side of the line this episode falls on... Hoping that this is an aberration and not a sign of things to come!
