Finally remembering that I can write reviews for TV shows on here, I can get to my first. Titans! A show about the DC comic squad called the Teen Titans, but darker, edgier and a lot better then a thought. I think the show has a ton of promise, as Standout Episodes like Doom Patrol show off. My worry is that the Doom Patrol show will overshadow this one in every way.
The issues that hold me back from loving this show is the hardcore anger from Dick Grayson, that may be earned but it gets to the point where it's kind of funny. He hates everything, they hide it under the guise of not wanting to get attached, be hurt, and lose people. Yet, in the end it feels like he just likes to pout. He feels so one note and as the main character that makes him dull. Then there is the Darkness! I don't mean the amazingly fun and goofy rock band, I mean the actual lighting on the show to made it hard for me to see anything. There is a fight in the hotel hallway that I might as well watched audio only, as I couldn't see anything at all.
I did enjoy Beast Boy in this. Although I assume that budget was what kept him from being anything other than a tiger, and never having any action on screen when he was. But Gar did what he does best which is lighten the mood. Something this show needed a lot more.
I am looking forward to more of this show. I think it has a ton of potential, but they need to lighten up a bit, writing wise, and with actual lighting. As I said before it does worry me that my favorite episode was the one leading into the Doom Patrol TV series, and not one about the Titans themselves.
