Titans - Surprisingly Good if a bit uneven

[Hussar]

This just popped up in my Netflix queue so, over the weekend, my daughter and I binge watched the Titans series. Much, much better than I was expecting. Story was cool. Very good writing and the action was well done.

I'm impressed.

One thing though, I was expecting a 10 series Netflix pacing. It's not. it's a 20 episode season cut in two and spread over two years. Which means that the pacing is a bit slower than I expected.

I was a big critic of the trailers but, while I still think Starfires fur coat is ugly, I really liked the core story of Titans - the whole Raven arc and the coming together of the 'team'. The violence did at times seem a bit excessive and I would have liked to see more of the Nuclear Family and discover a bit more about the organisation behind them. Perhaps we'll see that next season.

Speaking of which I did find the end to be abrupt, I didnt think theyd bring in the big bad until next season, although I do appreciate that he did tie-in well to the 'Batman' appearance, and mid season hiatuses seem to have become the norm now - so I'm looking forward to see what happens after the break

I didnt like that every second episode diverted off into mini pilots for other shows - Hawk and Dove, Doom Patrol, Diana Troy and the Nightwing show. The episodes themselves were fine but really if they wanted a Nightwing show they should have done that first, otherwise involve the other characters somehow rather than just focussing on Dick

I also found it to be surprisingly good. It's hitting the notes of the comic series, without precisely duplicating them. It seems to up-age far better than Archie Comics do.
[MENTION=6799753]lowkey13[/MENTION] - They drop the occasional F-bomb and there's a fair bit of blood. Unlike in comic books in this series, when someone with super strength punches you in the face, you spit out teeth. People die.

I really liked it. And Batman!

Um ....

Anyway, [MENTION=22779]Hussar[/MENTION] and Tonguez, I am a sucker for there DC Universe shows, and I didn't know this had released on Netflix (thanks!).

How is the maturity level for teens (say, a mature 12 year old)?

I watched with my 14 year old, but, not my 12 year old. There's a few sexy bits, not too bad and the violence is pretty graphic.

yes Mr Grayson is a bit of a ladies man

but yeah the F-bombs and violence would be the only two things which stand out as PG 13+, I actually found it more jarring in Titans than I did in the Logan movie, although that may just be due to expectation of TV

Based on this post I just looked for this on Netflix and it's not available. Wonder if it's country specific - I'm in the US.

Only on the DC Universe streaming service in the US, I’m afraid.
