Featured review
Buck Fatman!
I've written a review for each season of "Titans" and logged them against the final episodes, but I thought I'd sum up some of my thoughts about it here too. I approached "Titans" with a bit of trepidation, I was concerned that television superhero fatigue might settle in. However, by the end of the run I was pleasantly surprised by a series I thoroughly enjoyed.
Dick Grayson ( Brenton Thwaites ) has left Robin (and Batman) behind and is working as a Detective, when he meets Rachel (Teagan Croft) a young, recently orphaned girl, whose dark powers may stem from her mysterious past. When the pair are forced to go on the run, they meet Kori (Anna Diop) a woman whose memory has been lost and can generate fire from her hands and Gar (Ryan Potter) who has his own secret powers as the result of a mad scientist. Together they form a team to defend Rachel from forces looking to harness her power.
"Titans" wisely differentiates itself by being tonally quite different to the rest of the shows, particularly the other Berlanti-verse ones. It's a lot more violent, and more willing to show the effects of that violence, there's more swearing and sex scenes too. It also tells one (... well ... half...) a contained story across the 11 episode run, rather than the networks 22 episode "Villain of the week" style season. Occasion episodes take the focus away from the team that pad out the universe a bit, explaining who some of the other characters are and there is a backdoor pilot for "Doom Patrol" that forms one episode. It's a show that rewards a wider knowledge of the Batman/DC universe but I think it would work well enough on its own standing, provided you're prepared to accept a superhero/meta-human concept in general.
I would say, that though I enjoyed it quite a bit and the musical choices are amazing, some of the storyline gets to be a little familiar across the seasons. You'd have thought Dick might have learned a lesson about not lying to the team, but apparently not. Some of the character decisions across the run were a little . . . Confused and, as ever, once you introduce the concept of the Lazarus pit it's a crutch to get you out of any storyline hole you might want.
Whilst I'm a little sad to see it end here, it goes before outstaying it's welcome.
