    The series proved DC’s progress in film making,I realy enjoyed it but it’s better that it has a better ending at season 1,probably they have a big plan for season 2 :)

    I am not a follower of the Titans comics. I was surprised by the almost dark horror style of the show. The story so far isn't that bad but very slow to unveil itself. The acting is spotty but at least some of the main characters are solid. It's more a question of experience then anything but you do get some experience actors after a while.

It's more a question of experience then anything but you do get some experience actors after a while. I really do like the Robin actors. They do bring some grounds up to the fantastic side of the show. The action gets better with time. You do feel the director isn't used to make a dynamic action scene, and so, the choices of camera and angles can be poor at first. The music was a fun part. Fitted to the character and I like it. The last 2-3 episode are very strong. I give it a 70%. I think it can only evolve in a positive manner. That was a nice introduction.… Expand

    I didn't know what to expect when i started watching this, but **** it surprised me. This is a better and darker approach by DC.

    Better than most of the cw shows. In please ignore the comic book purist and the people who are afraid of a dark storyline because the mcu told them to. Just enjoy it for what it is or hate it for what it is, just don't expect for it to be the teen Titans cartoon. Because it isn't, it was never advertise as so.

    I really like how they're doing the character development. Not the same old same old. It's very well thought out. Can't wait to find out where they're taking it.

    Titans is a great series in which each episode overcome our expectations, the violence is fairly balanced, and the humor is not exaggerated. Titans know what kind of series she is and is not ashamed of it. I can not believe that I criticized this much series before its release.

    I would have given it a 10 but the starfire part of the story was so bad. Only Dick Grayson and Raven parts were good and I'd rather have Dick be in relation with his partner than starfire tbh.

    So far, This is the best Live-Action TV adaptation of DC Show. This show name doesn't have "Teen" in its title. So stop complaining about our childhood show and start to realize that this show more revolving about like DCEU world. In future, We will definitely see Tim Drake in this show/ DC Universe. So wait for it and enjoy the whole wide DC universe.

    it's a good start, this first episode is very introductory, don't even scratch the main plot of the show, just introduce some main characters, raven and mostly kory (besides of the bad characterization) were fine af, dick was dope too (that alley scene was sooo nice), and gar barely appeared but already make me laugh, i'm sooooo excited to see what the rest of the season is bringing to us

    Its got a brutally dark tone, which if you can get passed the fact that it isn't a cartoon adaptation, works very well for itself. Aside for a few odd sounding line deliveries, the first episode does a good job of introducing these characters.

    Against my better judgement I'm giving this show an 8 based on the first 6 episodes. Greg Berlanti is producing, which means his extreme politics will likely find their way into the show... but they haven't yet.

    Of course anyone trying to give Robin gravitas is very confused.

    Fairuza Balk plays Raven as well as she has played this character before and actually manages to upstage most of the rest of the cast. Ironically, she is one of the bright spots of this series.

    Starfire, is played stiffly by RuPaul and honestly I'm just waiting for the actress to do something worth commenting on.

    Hiro Hamada is Beast (singular) Boy. I keep wanting him to be Greg Cipes, but there is potential given time.

    Blood. Lots of blood. Poorly filmed fight scenes. Lots of brooding. Many MANY liberties taken.

    So why an 8? To enjoy this you must forget everything you know about DC's properties or these characters. Just ride the addictive crazy train that it is. It's a bit like Gotham that way.

    I'm still not sure why DC thinks they need everything dark and gritty. My best memories of their material has always been the bright and happy. (SEE: Teen Titans Go To The Movies)    … Expand

    The perfect spiritual successor to Blue Mountain State. Thad Castle quits football and becomes a masked vigilante - just how I always imagined it would go for him.

    This show is fine, at least on par with Arrow and Flash, so if you like those you'll like this.

    Titans is a superhero hybrid -- a live-action series that essentially weds the CW's DC Comics-inspired fare with the gritty, premium-cable approach of Marvel's Netflix dramas. That's not a bad formula, and it yields an entertaining, heavily serialized show.

    The superhero Sturm und Drang and personal melodrama that Titans offers is attractively packaged and reasonably entertaining in the early episodes. ... If you’re partial to the more serious end of the comic-book spectrum, you may already be watching “Black Lightning” on CW, “Jessica Jones” and a few others on Netflix, “Legion” on FX, “The Runaways” on Hulu and “Gotham” on Fox. “Titans” may deserve to join the list, but it’s a big ask.

    Thwaites doesn’t have anything near the gravitas required to pull off this self-righteously vicious approach. If you’re going to say “Fuck Batman,” that’s your right. But you’d better back it up with more than what Titans has to offer, or you just seem like a frustrated poseur who wants to seem much tougher and cooler than you can ever hope to be.
