Review: Titans

Review  written by: Melisa Hontiveros

I have been a fan of the Teen Titans ever since I was in Grade 6 watching their 2003 TV series. Their perfect blend of serious and playful tones made the show popular and inspiring to our generation of viewers, with fans still clamoring for its continuation fifteen years later. (Yes, it’s been that long.) Since then, I’ve loved all of the iterations of these beloved characters, whether it be in TV, movies and comics (give or take a few comic book runs.) Understandably, I have been very excited for the live-action adaptation of my favorite heroes and I would like to share that excitement to all of you through a non-spoiler first season review of Titans. After all, who better to write a review than a fan of the main characters of our story?

Let’s start with a bit of background on how the live-action adaptation came into fruition. Since 2014, there have already been reports of a Titans TV show being developed under the TNT network. Now four years later, we find the show has become a reality under the DC Universe streaming service. So far it has only been available exclusively in the United States but it will be available globally on Netflix starting January 11.
