Overall, I enjoyed it. It's very James Gunn, if that makes sense. Dark humor, obscure characters, brutal things happening to everyone. Surprisingly sympathetic backstories for just about all the characters to contrast against their monstrous appearances and natures.

It's weird to think that this actually takes place in the canon DC cinematic universe as set to proceed under Gunn, but from all evidence he really does plan to play with a deep and extensive toybox.

I wasn't really a fan of Eric Frankenstein--portrayed too much as the comic relief/delusional and obsessed stalker type.

I really enjoyed the core team though I'm sad not everyone will be returning...

The proposed lineup for next season looks interesting, but I'm a little surprised we're not getting more of the actual, original Creature Commandos -- no werewolf, no vampire, no gorgon... (the original team did have a Frankenstein's monster type, so at least that's accurate. And I guess Weasel is the equivalent of a werewolf... at least Nina, as a merperson, is roughly equivalent to a Creature from the Black Lagoon to go with classic monster archetypes.)

I really liked the soundtrack. Very offbeat, and again jibes with the way Gunn incorporates music into his projects.
