I want to like Titans. An R-rated version of Gotham is such a good fit and several of the cast members are good fits for the team. The first season was actually a lot of fun, it established the dynamics and had a pretty decent Deathstroke as its main villain.

I think you mean first and second season. Deathstroke was the villain of the second season.

This second season though really isn't doing it for me.

Third. XD

I think the main issue is the dialogue. There is something... off. I can't quite tell what it is but it's driving me crazy - there are pauses after everyone speaks as if they are all taking turns conversing in a completely unnatural way.

There are other issues. Jason Todd's actor is... not great. The plot is okay - it doesn't always make too much sense which kind of devalues the 'detective' part of the heroes' work but that's kind of expected in the genre. What I don't like is that it takes some huge risks early on (like what Batman does in episode 1) then just lets itself fall flat and stagnate for half a season.

There is also a real issue with the characters' power levels. Superboy and Starfire are a bit much if they are going to spend significant time fighting generic Gotham goons. Poor Beast Boy also doesn't get to freakin' do stuff since the special effects budget would need to blow up for that, so he resorts to generic kung-fu with glowy eyes.

But yeah. Titans Season 3 is floppy as hell.
