Quote

Here’s the official synopsis: Do you have a pesky ghost haunting you? Has a demon stolen your core memories? You may want to ring the Dead Boy Detectives. Meet Edwin Payne (George Rexstrew) and Charles Rowland (Jayden Revri), “the brains” and “the brawn” behind the Dead Boy Detectives agency. Teenagers born decades apart who find each other only in death, Edwin and Charles are best friends and ghosts… who solve mysteries. They will do anything to stick together – including escaping evil witches, Hell and Death herself. With the help of a clairvoyant named Crystal (Kassius Nelson) and her friend Niko (Yuyu Kitamura), they are able to crack some of the mortal realm’s most mystifying paranormal cases. 

Cast also includes Jenn Lyon, Briana Cuoco, Ruth Connell, Lukas Gage and David Iacono.

Curious if they're going to keep the Doom Patrol canon of Edwin having feelings for Charles.

Was disappointed that they switched actors, but I have high hopes for this.

I was doing a casual stroll on Netflix with the search words 'gay' and 'lgbt', just to see if I missed anything new that's dropped in that category and both searches brought up Dead Boy Detectives, so I'm going to assume that they are sticking with the Doom Patrol canon.

Easy come, easy go.

I'm not surprised with the cancellation. I loved the show and would have happily watched a 2nd season, but since James Gunn took over DC, all the Greg Berlanti produced TV shows have been cancelled. So, I went in watching this assuming it would be a one and done.

I was expecting this even before the Gaiman accusations and I imagine those totally slammed the door.
