## What critics say

Critics found the DC Universe superhero team series mixed, with its gritty tone and young cast landing unevenly and its quality declining over successive seasons.

## Synopsis

Titans (2018-2023) is an American superhero series created by Geoff Johns, Greg Berlanti and Akiva Goldsman for DC Universe and HBO Max. Brenton Thwaites plays Dick Grayson, once Batman's first Robin, now operating as Nightwing and leading a team of young heroes who come together to confront evil and the dangers that rise around them. Anna Diop stars as Starfire, Teagan Croft as Raven and Ryan Potter as Beast Boy, each carrying their own secret identity and personal baggage into the team. The engine of the series is the slow, sometimes uneasy formation of a found family of misfit young heroes, with each episode built around a new threat, a personal confrontation and a costume-and-identity conflict. Running four seasons and forty-nine episodes, it moves as a continuing serialized story rather than a case-of-the-week format. Its setting is a present-day American city, rendered in a gritty, dark register that leans on violence and emotional strain. Fans of Doom Patrol, Young Justice and The Boys will find resonance in its blend of comic-book spectacle, bruised young characters and grim tonal edges.
