Titans Season 3: Is It Good?
The Titans are finally back! The third season of the popular HBO Max TV series comes back today on Netflix, and the question is: will this return to Gotham City be able to put the show in order and clarify what viewers have been trying to understand since its first season?
As you can see, this third season of Titans features far fewer characters than the previous one, and the Titans team is stripped down for a simpler story that comes with fewer distractions for the viewers. From the very first minutes of the first episode, "Barbara Gordon", we find ourselves once again catapulted into a mission of the superhero group that tries to stop Gizmo from stealing a biological weapon. However, this group is soon headed to Gotham due to a bereavement and the appearance of Red Hood.
Unfortunately, due to the rhythm of these first five episodes (it is clear that they have really been written all together and without limitations due to the pandemic), the following ones can match neither in rhythm nor in quality. Actually, since "Lady Vic", the pace slows down and the characters begin to make questionable decisions as if they haven’t learnt anything from the previous seasons.
Luckily, starting from episode 11, "The Call Is Coming from Inside the House", the series picks up the pace and closes in a much more solid way than the previous season did. And despite all these flaws, the casting behind the series starting with the main characters like Hank and Dawn is surely the show's delight.
We can say that the season is good, but it always seems to suffer from the syndrome of the continuous search for one's identity as its protagonist. In the finale, the series still struggles to understand what it really wants to be. We therefore hope that when the series returns with more dilated production rhythms, as suggested by the actors, we can finally have a season truly focused on the Titans and not on the former shoulders of Batman and friends.
