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.
