I began watching this show as my plan of watching every single superhero show on Netflix, and this was the one I started with. And it was good enough to make me carry on with it.

The starting of the show was brilliant. I finally got to see the origin stories of all the characters of the cartoon I used to watch as a kid. And today all of it started to make sense. I do have a problem with the fact that their age difference looks too drastic, and Starfire and Beast Boy look nothing like the cartoon, but I chose to ignore those details. I was more interested in seeing the action. But the action soon finishes and focuses more on the character development. Initially I was a bit pissed, especially at the part where Dick burns his suit. But later I start taking interest in how their lives start playing out in their conflicts.

Every character in this show is likeable, whether it's a staple character like Raven or a complete newcomer like Superboy. After all, this show, unlike most other gritty superhero shows made nowadays, is driven more by character development than action. And this is one place this show absolutely nails.

My problem is with the pacing, especially the one from Season 2. It goes completely off. It has a lot of filler content like Dick going to prison just to be alone or Jason Todd living in a house with Rose Wilson. Another problem I have is with the looks. Starfire has curly hair, Beast Boy is just a guy with green hair and he only transforms into a tiger and nothing else, Raven doesn't have a cloak and Rose Wilson looks chubby and has curly hair.

Overall I'd say this is a perfect serial for anyone who grew up watching the cartoons, and also for those who need to be introduced to the mythology. If you're looking for the series which are equivalents of Watchmen, Doom Patrol, The Boys, Daredevil or Punisher, this one absolutely stands on that ground.

Titans was well above my expectations, which are based on other DC fare. Certainly, this does not follow the normal DC route of characters who are 99% sitting on moral high ground.

Certainly, this does not follow the normal DC route of characters who are 99% sitting on moral high ground. Rather it goes more the Marvel route of rarely are things black and white. I am NOT a DC comics expert/fan, so it may be that what I like is what will turn all the long term fans off.

It does suffer from the general "Netflix-ization" of series where things are a bit overly serialized and take longer than necessary. Still, there is dark humor here that is new. Fair warning, I am only half-way through the first season, but it was worth going this far.

One thing that I noticed others complain about is that it does a lot of back story/flash back (part of the over serialization/Netflixization). This is the trend these days and for some it feels like a non-linear story. I felt it was no worse than what so many writers are into these days and at least each episode had SOME forward/linear movement.

First season is a good start... Trigon was terrible, but season 2 is better so far.

Titans Season 1 was interesting, to say the least.
I normally watch my shows while eating dinner or lunch, but no way I'm ever going to watch titans while eating anything at all!

Raven and Starfire felt lacking, but they did a good enough job to make me curious for the next season.
Beast boy is my favorite, no doubt about it.

The pacing seems to be the biggest issue with Titans, if they can continue improving, then I see no reason why I wouldn't want more.

A gritty take on titans, borderline emo at some points, but I can see this become the "DC" equivalent of the MCU but as a show.
Crossover with Doom Patrol and other shows, and they got me in the bag!

Keep it up.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's a really good show. The ending of 1st season left us at a cliffhanger which sucked but now they are back with season 2. 2×1 wasn't that good. It felt like they just wanted to get over with Trigon. Last few minutes were great though. 2×2 was really good. I felt like it should have been longer but it's okk. All characters were great, Rose being the standout. I'm waiting for 2×3 now. Expand

I like the actions scenes for the most part, they feel violent and less cheesy i guess (than CW). I like some of the characters like beastboy, death stroke and Dove/Dawn. However i wouldn't exactly say i like the show very much. The tone i think is bad, too dark and depressing. Every episode there is someone crying and arguing, disagreeing, killing someone's parents(seriously they kill too many parents lol such a cliche) and or with guilt and it is too much!! I don't mind this to be in the show but this happens too often and takes over the show. I feel as though they almost prioritize the the drama over the "super hero" part of the show. I don't get excited as much bc they do 110% to make me feel depressed with every second. They are not very good as a team, there's always a fight within and they dessert each other at first sight of conflict, no team chemistry, most cant even get along, but this could improve so i wont be as harsh. They also have such a dull dark bluish color science throughout the whole show! Bring in some color, happiness, excitement to be a super hero and not just all the negative emotions bc it is tiresome! I think this show is closer to a 6 or 6.5 but i'll be lenient and round to a 7 bc at least someone's gotta be positive around here :) Expand

Season 2 is coming this Friday and the first season was so good that I can't wait.As a Teen Titans anime fan,I loved this show so much.The show makes you addicted to itself.It's bit dark and the story is a little bit complex now but I believe season 2 will solve that problem and the show will be settled down.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you’re a DC fan and need a kick then this show is the way to do it! Awesome action, set design,pretty good acting(Some are better than others), cgi, story, characters. Just great. Too bad it seems people these days are more concerned with bringing this show down, when I and many others put it up there with the ranks of Daredevil(with a “hint” The Flash)! Expand

Season 2 review: Season 2 was better overall. At least all the episodes focusing on Deadstroke. One with Bruce Wayne was amazing. Then the last episodes with Cadmus were kind of flat.

Then the last episodes with Cadmus were kind of flat. I think they failed to exploit Deadstroke properly in the end. Having too much villains isn't a service to the story. The acting got slightly better with the young actors. Overall they aren't the best but they do a fair job. Expand

This series is a breath of fresh air for DC comic fans. It’s dark tone, violence, and vulgar language is a worthy adaption and a must watch.
