Titans

Season 2 is bad. Just tons of internal conflicts, and several characters acting like psychopaths, idiots or some combination of that. In almost all of the season nothing happens at all. Some quite horrible choices made in this season. What a waste!!

Live action is overrated. Instead, go watch Young Justice. The plot is infinitely better than in Titans.

Titans is a gritty show that's based off the comic book "Teen Titans" which follows a group of young heroes as they try to make the world a better place to live in. I've really come to enjoy this show a lot. There are some parts that slow the show down a little but the good definitely outweighs the bad. It's obviously a show that's much more aimed at adults so some might be turned off by that but I like it more because of it. It continues to have surprise after surprise that will keep you entertained and wanting more. They give each character plenty of room to grow and expand each of their storylines. You really become invested in each character because of the storytelling here. It's show that keeps you on your toes as it is not afraid to kill off main characters.

The main weakness this show has is the writing. Though overall it's acceptable, there is a major lull in a few episodes of the first season where they are trying to introduce characters with upcoming series of their own. I think this is the first time I've seen this done in a shows first season, and it doesn't work.

The actors all seem to have good chemistry and it shows, though hard core fans will be disappointed as pretty much all the characters have been drastically altered from the source material.

As for Starfire, I don't care what color the skin the actor portraying her has, as long as she can act. The answer is that Anna Diop can act, however she is stymied by the script she is given.

I wasn't expecting an Emmy caliber show, as long as the writers don't eventually sink the show, the actors seem to be doing a good enough job with a so-so script.

Titans was so much better than I thought it would be! After reading the reviews I wasn't really sure what to expect, there are more positive than negative but it's still pretty mixed so I still wasn't sure. I thought I'd finally give it chance and now that I just finished Season 3 I'd have to say I'm glad that I did because it was really good! It's obviously much more aimed at adults so some might be turned off by that but I like it more because of it. It's too bad that with this HBO merger that Titans got canceled because I thought each season got a little better and there plenty of story still to tell.

To be honest, the trailer sucked and all of the hype had me super worried. I tried to go into the show with an open mind expecting something crappy. I was pleasantly surprised. Interesting story, characters, deep DC tie-ins, and overall very enjoyable. Before you watch it, definitely take note of the title "Titans" without the usual "Teen." This is not Teen Titans and plenty of liberties are taken, but if you are a fan of the superhero genre and DC/Batman content specifically, you will not be disappointed.
