I have watched five episodes of Titans on Netflix and I love it. I loved it from the first time I saw Detective Grayson, from the first time I saw Rachel and her mother. Dick Grayson is fantastic. I don't think I've ever loved him more (except for maybe Robin/Nightwing on Young Justice). Being a detective is just so fitting. He learned from the greatest detective in the world, even if others didn't know that from the start. It definitely ups his cool factor in Garfield's eyes.
Titans is very dark. These aren't the characters from Teen Titans Go! or Young Justice. Robin and Starfire/Koriand'r are very much adults. Raven and Beast Boy are teens. Bad stuff happens. There is a lot of blood. Heads explode. Also, Hawk and Dove are part the story, an interesting part so far. I wonder how they will factor into Rachel's story. As much as we're seeing Dick, Kory, and Garfield's stories, the plot so far has revolved around Raven/Rachel. She's a kid, a young teen, just trying to figure things out, missing her mother, with serious trust issues.
Is it weird that I really like the title sequence?
A few episodes in and Titans is becoming one of my favourite series of the year. I'm so excited to see what happens next!
The only character I recognize is Robin, but it looks pretty good from a production POV.
ReplyDeleteI think as long as you're familiar with Robin, you can watch the show. It does a good job of introducing the characters. Plus, this show isn't exactly accurate to the comics anyway.
DeleteYou're right, the production aspects of this show are amazing. Great visuals.
