Matt Bomer People Like Us From Doom Patrol Season 1

Okay, confession time. I have a TV crush. And it's... controversial. Well, maybe not controversial, but definitely specific.

My Unpopular Doom Patrol Opinion

Ready? I'm utterly charmed by Matt Bomer as Larry Trainor in Doom Patrol, Season 1. I know, I know. It's not about *seeing* Matt Bomer. Hear me out!

The Tormented Heart of a Superhero

Larry's backstory? Tragic. A closeted pilot in the 1960s, consumed by guilt and shame. Then, BOOM! A negative energy being merges with him. Now he's covered in bandages. Fun times.

It's the *voice* that gets me. Deep, resonant, and dripping with regret. You feel every ounce of Larry's pain, even when all you see is a bandaged mummy.

The Bandages and the Brooding

Let's be honest. The bandages are a *look*. Not exactly conventionally sexy. But they scream "tortured soul," and I'm a sucker for a good tortured soul.

He's always brooding. Always thinking. Always trying to control the uncontrollable. It's captivating! And those occasional glimpses of Matt Bomer’s eyes? Killer.

He's Basically a Ghost (Sort Of)

Larry's relationship with the negative energy being is fascinating. He's stuck with this… thing. It’s constantly trying to escape, and he has to wrangle it back. Talk about relationship drama!

He's a ghost of his former self, haunted by his past. Plus, he's got a glowing energy being inside him. What's not to love?

The Emotional Rollercoaster

Season 1 of Doom Patrol really delves into Larry's inner turmoil. We see flashbacks to his life before the accident. We witness his struggles with his sexuality. It’s heavy stuff!

And Matt Bomer, even just with his voice, nails it. He conveys so much vulnerability and strength. You just want to give him a hug. (Carefully, of course. Bandages.)

Other Doom Patrol Characters are Great Too (But...)

Okay, okay. The other Doom Patrol characters are awesome too. Crazy Jane? Heartbreaking. Robotman? Hilariously grumpy. Rita Farr? A glamorous queen.

But something about Matt Bomer's portrayal of Larry Trainor in Season 1 just… clicked. It’s a perfect blend of vulnerability, frustration, and reluctant heroism.

Maybe it's the mystery. Maybe it's the voice. Maybe I just have a thing for bandage-clad superheroes with a dark past. Whatever it is, I'm hooked.
