At first I didn't know what I would think about this episode but it was remarkable, great writing except for the library scene, other than that it was perfect. Making the two characters even more likeable and human. I hope they play a bigger part in the second season as it seems they got a big part in the last couple of episodes. The actors that plays them does a magnificent job with making them realistic and likable, great chemistry between them.
Great episode!
So far this show has blowed away my expections and I'm sticking around for future seasons and crossovers.
Loved finding more out about the characters and having a proper backstory episode wouldn't have been against having a few more of these for the other characters to. Less action than usual but the story portrayed made up for it.

This episode fills the backstory of Hawk and Dove but is by no means a lesser chapter. Its one of my favorite episodes of TV this season and the best of Titans so far. Directing, writing and acting were excellent, and Alan Ritchson was truly outstanding, he gives an unexpected depth to Hank that is emotionally gripping. Minka Kelly does the same for Dawn and together they carry this show beautifully.
This episode covered some of the most powerful themes we encounter as humans. Abuse (physical/sexual), social service dysfunction, unexpected/violent loss, vengeance, and grief. In less than an hour these topics are dealt with in great detail and the actors are able to hold the emotion of these experience expertly. Such a healing episode to watch- and despite the intense violence- every part of me rooted for these characters to succeed in every way.

'Hank and Dawn' is the next instalment of Titans: Season 1. This episode revolves around the Hank and Dawn. The acting of Alan and Minka was amazing. Here we saw the origin of Hawk and Dove. Even though it was a filler episode, It had important development which is crucial to the plot. DC is doing well for its TV shows, either the CW or DC Streaming Service. Even though the blue tint is annoying, it is compensated by the directing and story writing/execution.
So as before, I really recommend this show and I hope that the show keeps going in a good direction.

I love these characters, the acting and writing is superb. There were several touching moments. The relationship between these two seems new to me for a TV show. I would love to see this get its own show with these same actors.

Honestly, I don't approve of this series because it is the desecration of the comics... but this episode was a favorite never the less.
The story addressing great issues like grief and rape, and really works on them. Not in your face, like 13 reasons why, but in a more subtle way but still keeping the shock factor.
Would recommend.

I like this series very much, but I don't get the many deepened characters we only see once or twice. How do they fit together? Will they all be titans? Or who? And when? Before the series gets canceled I hope. Besides that... I know it was a filler episode, but seriously, they have one special fx stunt scene and they use this crappy shot with unnatural car movements CGI?! Hello? Anybody home in the fx department?
One of the best episodes of the lot, after the worst two previous episodes (7 and 8) this episode was such a real treat.
Finger crossed !
Bring out some more.

The best filler episode I have watched till date.
Hats off to Akiva Goldsman who penned A Beautiful Mind, which happens to be one of the best dramas . This episode covers the emotions what Nolan does to DC- vengeance, grief, loss and also sex!
Minka Kelly and Alan Ritchson were fantastic, indeed!
My Score: 8.5/10 Season 1: 68.5/9 = 7.61

I'm not one for filler but this episode seemingly did not detract from the main story. The backstory for hawk & dawn is pragmatic enough yet, still works as a decent origin story for comic book characters.

This episode is a mix of very interesting themes and some dumb plot facilities. I wish I could give it a better note. One of the best so far. Keep going, I didn't expect it from the two hawks 👍

Well, it just gets worse and worse this series. At first, it seemed like this could evolve into a cracking programme, but recent episodes have just turned crap. Has someone else taken over production of this, has someone else started writing this? It is a struggle to stay interested with this programme.

Not sure what appeals to others about this episode. It's a HUGE departure from the previous 8 episodes, in that there's very little action and almost nothing to advance the storyline.
Mostly, we are stuck reliving all the trauma from Hank's past. We also see how he met Dawn. It's 10 minutes of story-telling that's been stretched into a full episode.
If you went into this episode thinking that Hank is an unlikeable man-child, your opinion won't change. If you went into this episode hoping to see a sex scene between two objectively gorgeous actors, then you won't be disappointed. It's really the only reason I can think that it's so highly rated....

The Show is about Titans and not about hank and dawn. Why was the whole Episode wasted on a useless story.
Total waste of time.
Total waste of time.
So the writers decided to make a titans episode but titans free! If you want to talk about the background of hank and dawn you can do this the regular way. But taking a hole episode to talk about Hank and Dawn!!!! and when ???!! when Rachel's life is on the line and we want to see what is going to happen???????? REALLY!!!!!!!!!!!! If you can't film an episode during the Christmas just don't
This Episode was a waste of a good show! The show is called Titans can we focus on the Main members!
